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.

All allegation-level content (the 2017 SoFi resignation, the Morpheus Research short-seller claims, the February 2026 data breach) is also confirmed with proper attribution. However, the page's own summary headline labels YLDS a 'stablecoin' while its body correctly calls it a security, a self-contradiction on the product's defining regulatory feature that the reviewer flagged as a high-priority coverage gap (claim_findings[1], coverage_gaps[0]); because the summary is what most readers see first, this outweighs its low place in the raw disputed count. Four disputed findings are all internally detectable errors rather than externally contested facts: three are timeline dates that don't match the issuer's own press releases (claim_findings[27], [28], [29]), and one is an arithmetic self-contradiction describing $540 million as 'up from' a larger $598 million figure the page itself reports elsewhere (claim_findings[30]). A stale partner count paired with a current loan total (claim_findings[13]) compounds the impression of a page that wasn't fully proofread against its own numbers, even though disputed_pct (12.9%) sits in the lower-middle of the minor-issues band and reviewer confidence was high (0.85).","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
