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 soft-dispute rate of 15% is driven entirely by 3 partially-supported claims and 3 unverifiable claims — none of which contradict core facts about the exchange's shutdown, dates, or fee structure. The most material weakness is link rot on claim_findings[24]: the post-shutdown status page (probit.com/en-us/dw-status) is inaccessible, leaving the specific quoted language about permanent asset closure unverifiable against its primary source; however, the underlying fact is corroborated by multiple independent Tier-2 news sources cited elsewhere in the review. Stale TrustFinance data (claim_findings[21], now 60/100 vs. cited 56/100) and an imprecise PROB decline percentage (claim_findings[21]) are minor issues that warrant updating but do not affect the page's reliability on material facts.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
