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 two partially-supported findings (claim_findings[11] on DNS hijacking root cause, claim_findings[28] on CEO-return citation) are minor: the underlying facts are correct in both cases, and the partial grades reflect presentation nuance rather than factual error. One unverifiable finding (claim_findings[25], Hyperliquid ATH TVL) is directionally supported and differs from available sourcing by only ~$10M. No link rot or stale citations were found. The most consequential open item is a coverage gap — the 2023 CFTC $41M civil monetary penalty against dYdX Trading Inc. is entirely absent from the page; this is expansion work, not grounds for denial, but should be prioritized.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
