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 vast majority of claims are confirmed by tier-1 and tier-2 sources including FBI/IC3 PSAs, CISA advisories, Mandiant, TRM Labs, Chainalysis, and Elliptic. Minor inaccuracies include: the JumpCloud attack date (compromise began June 20, 2023, not July 2023); the Ronin total commonly cited as $625M not $620M; the IC3 PSA address count (52 vs. 51); the Roman Storm conviction omitting the split-verdict context; the OFAC address count implying DPRK-specific scope; and one defendant in the DPRK IT worker guilty-plea group being Ukrainian not a U.S. resident. The $1.34 billion 2024 figure could not be independently verified. No claims are outright disputed by more credible sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
