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.

The one disputed claim is the ECHR filing date (page states May 2025; Bloomberg and CoinDesk reporting from July 2025 indicates the filing was in June or July 2025, not May). Minor issues include the February 2014 timeline date for citizenship renunciation (IRS specifies March 2014) and condensation of a DOJ quote. The CoinFLEX outcome is characterized imprecisely as Ver 'winning' a $100 million award when the settlement entitles him to contingent future proceeds. The page does not address a significant 2025 ProPublica investigation into how Ver's legal team secured the DPA.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
