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 review found 0% disputed claims — all six claim_findings are fully supported by Tier 1 and Tier 2 sources — and the page content stands as accurate. The current score of 34 (WARNING band) is demonstrably miscalibrated: the WARNING band requires an unresolved severe incident or elevated fraud risk, but claim_findings[1] confirms users were made whole within 24 hours of the 2022 exploit, and claim_findings[2] confirms full asset recovery was completed by July 19, 2024, making the page's statement that '$140M remain unrecovered as of 2026' stale. The WARNING score also conflates Jump Crypto's separate CFTC/SEC regulatory actions over Terra/UST (claim_findings[4]) with Wormhole itself, despite the page noting no direct charges against Wormhole. claim_findings[3] and [5] document a $225M institutional fundraise, $65B+ in processed transactions, and active integration with BlackRock, Circle, and Uniswap — consistent with CAUTIONARY (score 62), which appropriately preserves a permanent caveat for the protocol's bridge security history while reflecting that the incident is resolved and the entity is legitimate.","score_delta":28,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
