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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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, claim_findings[4] is flagged stale by the reviewer: the page presents Palafox's 20-year sentence as a concluded matter, yet on April 6, 2026 he cut off his GPS monitor, failed to report to prison, and was added to the FBI Most Wanted white-collar crime list as a fugitive. This is a material omission in a critical-severity section — the summary and Criminal Conviction section actively misrepresent the subject's current legal status. A secondary factual error exists in claim_findings[36] and timeline[5]: the UK High Court winding-up order was issued September 13, 2022, not October 27, 2022 (October 27 was the Insolvency Service press release date). These issues require targeted corrections; the page's evidentiary foundation is otherwise strong.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
