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.

Core dollar and wallet-loss figures ($3.81B losses across 988,905 wallets, $636M in royalties, $320M in 2025 trading-fee profits) are well corroborated across independent outlets. Weaknesses found: one citation (Decrypt, on token unlocks) documents a different unlock event than the one it is attached to; a sentence placing Senator Schiff's involvement inside the SEC-letter narrative actually describes his role in a separate Mar-a-Lago document request; a same-sentence comparison of 988,905 underwater wallets against '58 wallets with $10M+ profits' merges two different studies from different time periods; and current-tense price/market-cap figures were already stale relative to live data at time of review due to memecoin volatility.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
