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.

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}
