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 vast majority of specific claims — amounts, dates, wallet addresses, creditor vote percentages, court decisions, and attribution statements — are precisely confirmed by credible independent sources. The three partially-supported claims relate to the '55% recovery' framing (the court-approved plan envisions higher recovery via Recovery Tokens) and a specific 20,004 ETH laundering detail that is directionally consistent but not precisely verifiable in the cited sources. One claim about an ED MLAT/DOJ cash seizure of INR 25,60,000 could not be independently confirmed. No claims are disputed by more credible sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
