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.

Three issues require correction before approval. First, claim_findings[18] and claim_findings[22] show the 46,000-people / $1 billion FTC statistic is cited to the May 2021 FTC data spotlight, which does not contain those figures; the reviewer confirmed the correct source is the June 2022 FTC report — this same misattribution appears in both sections[5] and timeline[3]. Second, the Robinhood section heading reads '(2024)' when two independent CNBC Tier 1 sources confirm the events occurred in June–July 2025; this is a material date error visible to every reader in the section heading (coverage_gaps[1], stale finding). Third, the 164,000 concurrent viewer figure for the April 2024 solar eclipse incident (claim_findings[11] and claim_findings[23]) is not supported by the OECD.AI source cited, which states only 'tens of thousands.' These are citation accuracy and factual labeling errors, not fabrications; the underlying events are real and the investigation's core conclusions about SpaceX-branded fraud are sound.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":7,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
