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 page content accurately documents TD Bank's October 2024 guilty plea, $3.09B+ in penalties, and a decade of intentional AML under-investment. The miscalibration is in the trust_score band, not the facts: a score of 30 (WARNING) is reserved for elevated fraud or unresolved severe incidents, but TD Bank is a fully regulated, publicly traded major institution actively remediating under an independent compliance monitor. claim_findings[3] specifically confirms the bank has spent $507M on AML overhaul, completed the majority of remediation, and is already below the OCC asset cap — mitigating factors not reflected at 30. A score of 52 (CAUTIONARY) correctly acknowledges the severity of proven institutional negligence while distinguishing a negligent-but-legitimate institution from a fraudulent one. The review was conducted at high confidence (0.88) with strong exonerating evidence that the current band is demonstrably too harsh, warranting a positive score_modifier_delta of +22.","score_delta":22,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
