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 core facts (the April 29 arrest counts, the April 23 Shunda complaints, the September 9 Xinbi sanctions, the February $580 million total) match official DOJ, IRS-CI and Treasury releases (claim_findings[0], [1], [2]). Three smaller points remain: the $938 million cumulative figure is labelled unverified although a DOJ release reportedly gives it (claim_findings[3]), the UN 2023 population estimates were not found in the cited news article (claim_findings[5]), and the page is inconsistent on whether IRS-CI was a founding member (claim_findings[6]). The only omissions are minor (the Madagascar deployment and Xinbi seizure details), and the Strike Force is still operating, so these are suggested edits and not grounds for a penalty.","reviewer_def_hash":"bc11388ce4bc4deea1b064fea362663ae06e3f4f687f99604769044d6ffba770","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
