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 partially_supported findings are precision-level inaccuracies rather than substantive factual reversals: claim_findings[9] and timeline[4] mislabel the Series D '$1.2 billion' figure as pre-money when multiple primary sources (including the official press release) confirm it is the post-money valuation; claim_findings[16] and timeline[12] cite April 10 as the SEC settlement date when the court-entered final judgment was April 23 per SEC release lr-26291; and claim_findings[23] and timeline[9] incorrectly group AT&T among the June 2024 carrier launch partners when AT&T joined in April 2025. None of these errors contradict the page's core allegations or materially alter its risk assessment. The one unverifiable finding (Sean Carey's 2015 departure) is a minor personnel detail with no cited source. Reviewer confidence is 0.88. Coverage gaps are all medium or low priority and suggest expansion, not denial.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
