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, two high-priority structural gaps prevent outright approval: all five body sections carry empty content and headings (coverage_gaps[5]), making a full written-content audit impossible; and nearly a year of post-acquisition operational history is unaddressed (coverage_gaps[2]). Additionally, claim_findings[13] (timeline[6]) overstates the April 2024 VARA approval as a 'full market product derivatives license' when both Tier 1 sources confirm it was explicitly a conditional, non-operational license — a factual overstatement that should be corrected before the page is considered complete. The link-rot finding on a non-critical CoinTelegraph citation is a minor hygiene issue. A light penalty of -5 is applied; the page is suitable for revision and re-review rather than denial.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
