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 single disputed claim (claim_findings[14]) concerns the TAC token all-time high figure (~$0.028 per the page vs. $0.04254 per CoinMarketCap), which is a market data discrepancy confined to the non-critical Market Impact section and carries no weight on the incident narrative. The unverifiable claim (claim_findings[13]) regarding the 21% weekly price decline is also limited to market data context. Eight partially supported claims involve minor editorial specificity or single-source attribution for secondary details and do not undermine the incident record. The disputed_pct of 7.1% falls within the 0–10% approval band. Two high-priority coverage gaps — absence of on-chain transaction evidence and reliance solely on exchange news aggregators rather than TAC primary sources — should be addressed in a future revision pass but do not require holding this page.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
