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.

But both disputed claims involve fabricated-looking biographical details about the company's named co-founders (a 'prior startup exit' claimed for each, and one founder's university), and in each case the page's own cited sources say something different, rather than simply being silent. The reviewer flagged this specifically as a high-priority gap (coverage_gaps[1]), describing the founder-background section as reading like it is authoritative and well-sourced when in fact it conflicts with the very citations attached to it. That is treated here as enough to warrant a revision requirement even though the overall dispute rate is low. The page's central reporting — the insider-trading allegations, the recorded call, and the Polymarket secondary scandal — remains thoroughly and independently corroborated with exact quote and figure matches across multiple outlets, so this is judged as a contained, fixable sourcing problem in a background section rather than a reason to doubt the page as a whole.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
