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.

The June 2024 launch is overstated as a mainnet launch when primary sources confirm it was devnet-only, with mainnet going live at Breakpoint in September 2024. An internal inconsistency exists around the Certora audit timeline (December 2025 in the timeline vs March 2026 in the sections body, with the Certora report itself dated March 3, 2026). The characterization of Alex Gluchowski as 'ZKsync founder' omits his CEO role. No evidence was found contradicting the page's core claims about funding, audit coverage, bug bounty, or the absence of fraud or regulatory actions.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
