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 4 partially_supported findings (claim_findings[17], [21], [22]) reflect minor quote paraphrasing and reliance on self-reported company details — not material misrepresentation. One dead CoinTelegraph link (claim_findings[20]) is link rot but the underlying fact survives via Yahoo Finance. Revision is warranted because a high-priority coverage gap identified by the reviewer — a January 2026 Georgia Department of Banking and Finance cease and desist order against Virtual Assets LLC for unlicensed money transmission — is entirely absent from the page and constitutes a material omission about the company's regulatory compliance posture.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
