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.

Key exceptions are: the OpenSea NFT collection trading volume is overstated ($7M claimed, $4M confirmed across multiple credible sources); the characterization of the children's book case as a 'won copyright lawsuit' overstates what was a pre-litigation settlement; and the claim that PEPE European trading pairs were removed in September 2024 due to MiCA lacks any corroborating evidence found in research. The page also contains a weak citation mismatch on the November 2024 Coinbase/Robinhood listing timeline entry. Coverage gaps include the absence of on-chain verification for the promised token burn and no tracking of current SEC enforcement status.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":1,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
