Verify a decision

Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.

How verification works

  1. We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction.
  2. We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
  3. You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>

Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

However, several of the disputed and stale findings carry more weight than a simple percentage suggests. claim_findings[14] and claim_findings[24] are not ambiguous readings — they are dated errors that contradict the page's own cited sources: the $13.8M raise is placed in August 2023 when the page's own Finbold citation and two independent outlets date it to February 2023, and the public-sale token unlock is placed in July 2023 when the page's own DropsTab citation shows the public sale fully vested at the July 2021 launch and conflates it with a separate advisor unlock. More significantly, claim_findings[3], [23], and [32] (all rated 'stale') show that the page's 'Current Strategy and Pivot' section presents YGG Play, the Launchpad, and LOL Land as the organization's ongoing strategy, when independent Tier 1 reporting shows YGG shut this entire business down around August 1, 2026 with roughly 35 layoffs and pivoted to an AI data-economy model. Presenting a defunct flagship initiative as current strategy is a material gap on the entity's present-day status, reinforced by a high-priority coverage gap flagging the same issue. A second high-priority coverage gap and claim_findings[37] separately note that the page's slug and entity_name ('yg') do not match its subject (Yield Guild Games / YGG) and that this appears to duplicate an existing page for the same entity — a data-integrity problem independent of the page's factual content, which does not itself affect this page's substantive accuracy but should be resolved administratively. Reviewer confidence (0.72) is moderate-to-solid, supporting a firm rather than hedged verdict within the band. Weighing the source-contradicted date errors and the staleness on the entity's central current-state narrative against an otherwise well-supported factual core (founding history, funding rounds, price history, scam warnings, regulatory status), the page merits revision at the upper end of the minor-issues penalty range rather than escalation to a significant-issues or failing verdict.","score_delta":-15,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
