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 two unverifiable claims (claim_findings[15] — Jordan Shaw's aggregate $60 million figure; claim_findings[16] — a 'Nicholas Petrillo' investor seeking $40 million) are peripheral supporting details in the victims section, not core allegations about the fraud mechanics or criminal charges, which are extensively confirmed by IRS Criminal Investigation and DOJ Tier 1 sources. No claims were found to contradict credible counter-evidence. Coverage gaps are present but the only high-priority gap is an expansion suggestion (on-chain wallet addresses for independent verification), not a factual deficiency.
