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.

Two narrower claims that a specific named multisig executed that shutdown transaction are inferential rather than directly documented and were correctly downgraded to partially_supported (claim_findings[17], [46]), so that piece of the page's framing is more confident than the evidence supports. The review also surfaced two disputed claims unrelated to the core allegation — an internal price-arithmetic error where a stated 'further decline' to $0.012 is actually higher than the page's own prior $0.01 figure (claim_findings[24]), and a miscount of L2Beat's Stage-1 blockers as 'two' when L2Beat lists three (claim_findings[43]) — plus a quote that splits one continuous community comment into two apparently independent ones (claim_findings[49]) and a true claim supported by sources other than the three the page actually cites (claim_findings[33]). None of these push disputed_pct (4.8%) out of the approve range on their own, but two coverage gaps rated high priority — missing on-chain verification of the shutdown transaction and the multisig's role, and no quantification of how many users or how much value the sub-$10 exclusion affects — go to the credibility of the page's core technical and impact claims and warrant revision rather than approval as-is.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
