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.

The most material finding is that Nathan Allman passed away on May 25, 2026, making all present-tense references to him as CEO factually stale as of the review date — this requires urgent correction. One discrete factual error was identified: the claim that $240M TVL was achieved 'within 48 hours' of the September 3, 2025 Ondo Global Markets launch; that figure was reached approximately two weeks later, with the 48-hour milestone being market leadership by TVL over competitors rather than the specific $240M figure. Several competitive market figures ($7.3B total market, BUIDL 40% share) are stale for the early 2026 framing given subsequent market growth.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
