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
- 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. - 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.
- 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.

Twenty claims are fully confirmed; five are partially supported with minor imprecisions (claim_findings[2] TVL figure unconfirmed by DefiLlama but corroborated by secondary sources, claim_findings[5] investor count differs by one from Chain Broker's tally, claim_findings[9] Solana TVL floor slightly conflates immediate vs. later low, claim_findings[3] 'first audited AMM' qualifier is marketing language, claim_findings[13] 92.77% unlock figure is directionally correct but precision unverifiable). One biographical detail — Khan's specific degree program at Baruch College — is unverifiable but not contradicted. Critical citations from CoinDesk, CFTC, CoinGecko, and ICO Drops are confirmed; 403 errors on The Block and DappRadar were bridged by secondary corroboration without outcome impact. A high-priority coverage gap on on-chain holder concentration exists but indicates an expansion opportunity, not a factual error. Reviewer confidence of 0.82 is sufficient to support approval without penalty.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
