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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 score of 35 (WARNING band) is demonstrably too harsh: the largest recent incident (Drift $285M, claim_findings[1]) was a DPRK social engineering attack on a third-party app, not a Solana protocol failure; the primary regulatory threat (SEC v. Coinbase SOL classification, claim_findings[2]) was dismissed with prejudice in February 2025 and is stale; and the meme coin fraud statistics (claim_findings[5]) reflect third-party token issuer abuse, not Solana Foundation misconduct. Legitimate caveats — ongoing Young v. Solana Labs class action, historical outage record, and real ecosystem-level fraud risk — justify CAUTIONARY rather than clear. A score of 62 correctly reflects a legitimate top-5 network with material-but-not-disqualifying concerns. Reviewer confidence 0.87 supports a firm upward correction.","score_delta":27,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
