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 disputed_pct of 3.8% falls within the 0-10% approval band. The three partial findings are all minor in nature: claim_findings[17] involves a technical email-field label (CC vs. To:) where the core exposure event is correctly described; claim_findings[20] concerns a 1-2 day ambiguity in an executive appointment date; and claim_findings[3] is a volume figure derivable from publicly reported annual totals. The unverifiable Seychelles VASP licensing claim (claim_findings[22]) rests on BitMEX's own regulatory page but is not contradicted by any external source. All major legal and regulatory facts — CFTC charges, DOJ indictment, $100 million settlement, individual sentences, and 2025 presidential pardons — are confirmed by Tier 1 primary sources. Reviewer confidence is 0.88.
