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.

However, the Lanistar section contains two verifiable date errors: the landlord petition dismissal is dated a year early (page says October 2023; actual event and its own cited source point to October 2024), and the Lanistar liquidation order is misdated by roughly five months (page says September 2025; the official UK Gazette record shows the order was made April 2, 2025, and the cited Tech.eu article predates and does not discuss this event at all). A June 2025 date for the Inter Milan cease-and-desist also contradicts the page's own cited DL News source, which states August 2025. One citation (MEXC News) is a dead link.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
