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.

Of 38 claims examined, 31 were fully confirmed against primary law-enforcement releases, including the most consequential items: that 'Operation Atlantic' is a genuine law-enforcement designation independently corroborated by both the U.S. Secret Service and the UK National Crime Agency (claim_findings[0]), that no arrests or indictments were announced and no individual is named as charged anywhere on the page (claim_findings[8]), that the approval/permit-signature phishing mechanism is correctly described and kept separate from wallet-draining or seed-phrase theft (claim_findings[12]-[13]), and that the page's own $12M + $33M = $45M total reconciles exactly against the source (claim_findings[7]). Disputed_pct computes to 7.9% (2 disputed, 1 unverifiable, of 38), placing the page well inside the approve band even if the classification of borderline items were read more strictly. The two disputed claims (claim_findings[30]-[31]) concern incorrect launch dates for two older, unrelated operations the page references in a historical-context section, not disputes about Operation Atlantic's own facts or figures. Remaining issues -- a source-attribution slip on a $300M figure (claim_findings[28]), the omission of TRM Labs as a co-equal analytics partner, and a missing NCA primary citation -- are coverage and precision gaps, not defects in the page's core allegations, and do not change the outcome.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
