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.

Four claims are partially supported due to minor characterization or source variation: claim_findings[8] lacks independent corroboration for the $37M Alameda loan figure; claim_findings[25] conflates distinct Delaware and bankruptcy court legal theories when describing $2.1B in coins; claim_findings[26] understates the scope of DCG's counter-lawsuit by characterizing it as seeking full $1.1B repayment rather than ~$105M current installments; and claim_findings[23] reflects source variation on the combined lawsuit total ($3.2B-$3.3B). The most material gap is the omission of the January 2025 SEC settlement (coverage_gaps[3], priority high) in which DCG and Michael Moro paid $38.5M and $500K respectively for misleading investors about Genesis's financial condition. The disputed percentage is 13%, well within the 10-30% revise band. Revision is warranted to clarify the conflated legal claims, correct the DCG lawsuit characterization, and add the omitted SEC settlement.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
