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.

However, two findings carry elevated weight: claim_findings[8] states SDF retains approximately 30 billion XLM when current data (Messari Q1 2026) shows approximately 16.66 billion — a roughly 50% overstatement on a core centralization risk metric. Separately, claim_findings[17] attributes $4.2 billion in transaction volume to MoneyGram's Stellar integration, a figure the reviewer could not confirm and which appears to be a misattribution of broader USDC-on-Stellar volume; this coverage gap was flagged at high priority. Additionally, the Immunefi bug bounty claim (claim_findings[20]) became stale in May 2026 when SDF consolidated to HackerOne only, and one citation (Cyberint) is inaccessible with a 403 error. The 13 of 21 claims that are fully confirmed and the reviewer's 0.82 confidence support a revise rather than deny decision.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
