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.

However, one claim, that more than 83 people were detained, is directly disputed: the two independently verifiable arrest tallies found (62 and 68) are both lower than the figure on the page. Two other specific figures, the claim that Thodex accounted for 85 percent of global 2021 crypto losses and the claim of a practical 7.5-year sentencing cap, are unverifiable because none of the sources cited for those passages actually support them, and a third claim tying Thodex directly to new MASAK/CMB digital-asset legislation is similarly unsupported by its cited sources. These are secondary details and interpretive statistics, not challenges to the core facts, so the page does not warrant investigation status, but it should be revised to correct the detention count and either source or remove the unsupported 85 percent statistic, sentencing-cap claim, and legislation-causation claim.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
