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 main issues are: (1) the YIP-90 date in the timeline is listed as 2026-01-01 but the proposal was published December 12, 2025; (2) characterizing the yETH exploit as 'the third major security incident since 2021' is imprecise given the timeline also documents a fourth exploit occurring after the yETH incident; (3) the 2023 yUSDT laundering claim overstates Tornado Cash involvement; and (4) the platform launch date entry conflates the February 2020 protocol launch with the July 2020 YFI token launch. No claims are outright disputed or unverifiable. The structural absence of content in all seven page sections is a significant coverage gap.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
