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 7 partially_supported findings (claim_findings[5], [8], [12], [13], [21], [24], [27]) are all peripheral: the MiCA date discrepancy reflects an unresolved but plausible gap between regulatory action and public announcement; the '40+ blockchains' figure is outdated rather than false; and the David Marcus 'founder' characterization is a minor overstatement consistent with industry usage. The single unverifiable claim (claim_findings[7], '1 million wallets custodied') is a secondary company-reported metric not cited on any external source, but it does not contradict any available evidence. No link rot, no stale critical citations, and no high-priority coverage gaps were identified. Reviewer confidence of 0.82 is sufficient to support approval.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
