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.

The disputed_pct of 7.7% falls within the approve band. One claim is materially disputed: claim_findings[20] asserts that '27 members identified as masterminds of PlusToken subsequently participated in WoToken,' but the cited source does not support this — all court documentation and English-language reporting identify a single unnamed PlusToken operator as having WoToken involvement. This overstatement in the PlusToken connection section is the primary driver of the -5 score penalty. Additionally, claim_findings[19] (all six defendants pleaded guilty) is contradicted by CoinIdol, which reports Gao Yudong denied wrongdoing, and the CoinTelegraph citation flagged as link_rot (claim_findings[22]) supports a high-priority coverage gap on the specific PlusToken operator's identity. Core facts — investor count, fraud scale, asset holdings, sentences, and trial details — are well corroborated by multiple independent Tier 2 sources and are not in doubt.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
