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.

However, it contains two notable factual errors: the ages of the Cajee brothers are reversed (Raees was 20, not 17, at founding; Ameer was 17, not 20), and Ameer Cajee's title is incorrectly given as CEO (he was COO; Raees was CEO). More significantly, the claim that Swiss prosecutors withdrew the money laundering case against Ameer Cajee is not supported by any found sources — the most recent authoritative reporting (May 2025, Daily Maverick) states proceedings were continuing. The Bloomberg URLs return HTTP 403 paywalls rather than dead links.
