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 current WARNING-band score of 42 is demonstrably too harsh for a legitimate infrastructure protocol that was the victim of an external exploit, not the perpetrator of fraud. As documented in claim_findings[0] and the page's own timeline, Jump Crypto replenished 120,000 ETH within 24 hours, meaning no end user suffered a permanent loss. Claim_findings[1] further establishes that court proceedings in England and New York recovered over $400M of the stolen assets by 2024. Claim_findings[2] and [5] confirm strong ongoing security validation — Wormhole is the only unconditionally approved bridge by Uniswap's Bridge Assessment Committee, holds a CertiK Skynet AA rating, and demonstrably patched a Dec 2023 $5M Aptos vulnerability in under three hours. A CAUTIONARY score of 63 correctly reflects the legitimate operational standing while retaining appropriate caution for the historical severity of the exploit and the inherent structural risk of cross-chain bridge infrastructure. The page content stands as accurate and must remain published.","score_delta":21,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
