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 core factual claims — exploit date, mechanism, ETH amounts, burn address mishap, attacker net loss, auditor names, and recovery plan — are confirmed by multiple credible sources. The main material error is the timeline launch date of January 2023, which is incorrect; multiple independent sources confirm the Raft mainnet went live on June 5, 2023. Two cited URLs (ImmueBytes analysis and Mirror.xyz post-mortem) returned non-200 responses during verification. A minor internal inconsistency exists around the '7 ETH retained' figure in section 1 vs. the net-loss math in the summary, which implies 14 ETH post-operation.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
