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.

Six claims are partially supported due to minor precision issues: the most notable is claim_findings[19], where the page attributes ~400,000 forced-labor victims across 70+ countries to the State Department, but the best available authoritative estimate (UN OHCHR, Tier 1, February 2026) gives ~300,000 from ~66 countries — a material difference in a contextual statistic that the page does not caveat. Claim_findings[20] lists K99 Group and Heng Feng Cambodia Bank as OFAC-designated entities that secondary sources could not confirm, though primary Treasury source access was limited. All other precision gaps are minor (secondary-sourced defendant ages, a one-day timeline error, rounding on a follower count, and a labeling imprecision on IC3 loss figures). No link rot, no stale citations, and all accepted submissions support the page as labeled. The page warrants approval; the trafficking-figure misattribution and unconfirmed entity names should be addressed in a future revision.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
