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.

Two issues merit correction: (1) David Schwartz is misidentified as 'Litecoin project manager' when his documented title is Project Director/Director of Strategic Partnerships at the Litecoin Foundation — a minor but fixable mischaracterization of a named individual's role; and (2) two sources_used archive_url entries (CryptoGlobe and the CoinShares Federal Register filing) point to mismatched/broken archive snapshots (a CoinDesk homepage and a bot-interstitial page respectively) rather than the actual cited content, which is a link-rot/data-integrity defect in the archival record even though the live source URLs themselves remain reachable through other channels. The 'largest individual crypto theft of 2026 / surpassed the $243M 2024 record' framing is corroborated by only one of the five cited sources for that section, so it is accurate but thinly sourced relative to its citation list. The May 2026 market-cap figure and the 2013 $1B market-cap milestone are plausible but rest on sources this review could not fully pin down. No accepted community submissions exist to cross-check. Overall the page is substantially accurate with a few narrow, fixable overstatements and two archive-integrity defects.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
