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.

No claim is actively contradicted by a more credible source. Revision is warranted on three specific points: claim_findings[20] describes '$10M TVL at peak' but available evidence indicates the true all-time peak was approximately $50M, making the stated figure a near-sunset snapshot rather than a historical maximum; claim_findings[9] (Forbes JAPAN 30 Under 30 2023) could not be independently verified and should be cited to a primary source or removed; and claim_findings[10] (Japan Blockchain Association title 'director') is potentially an overstatement, with the most credible contemporaneous source describing the role as 'advisor.' Two high-priority coverage gaps — on-chain verification of the self-reported $500M volume figure and the absence of any investigation into knock-in barrier breach events during the 2022 crypto drawdown — are also recommended for expansion before the next version.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
