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, the reserve-growth narrative contains a clear internal contradiction: the timeline misattributes the September/October 2025 gold-holding figure (375,572 troy ounces) to the June 30, 2025 attestation, directly contradicted by the page's own cited PDF, which reports ~246,524 ounces for that date; the summary repeats this overstatement by dating 375,000 ounces to 'mid-2025.' The page also misdates the $150M Gold.com stake by roughly 11 months, mischaracterizes a trading-volume statistic as sector growth, overstates Ledn's collateral-lending timeline, states the founding entity was 'incorporated in El Salvador' in a way that contradicts its own later BVI-relocation claim, and presents the Big Four audit as a future aspiration when it was reported completed in mid-August 2026.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
