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.

All criminal, regulatory, and bankruptcy findings — including the DOJ sentencing, SEC/CFTC/FTC actions, and Chapter 11 proceedings — are confirmed by primary sources at Tier 1. No claims are outright disputed. Six claims are partially supported: most significantly, claim_findings[7] presents the ICO raise as '$50 million' without noting this was Mashinsky's false public figure; DOJ documents establish the actual raise was approximately $32 million, a documented fraud element. Claim_findings[14] materially understates the StakeHound incident: the page states a $50 million loss, but the 35,000 ETH alone was worth approximately $70 million at June 2021 prices, and Celsius's own 2023 lawsuit values total StakeHound exposure (including MATIC and DOT) at over $150 million. These two items are flagged as high-priority coverage gaps and warrant correction before the page is treated as authoritative on Celsius's pre-collapse risk failures.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
