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.

Overall dispute rate is low at 6%, but the review surfaced a confirmed factual error in a secondary section: Vlad Finance is labeled an Ethereum token when the page's own cited source shows it trades on BNB Chain (claim_findings[2]). It also found a stale date claim about The Green Bull's price history that current data on the same cited source contradicts (claim_findings[9]), and a dead citation link for the Vladcoin entry with no working archive (claim_findings[3]). Because this page is an unpublished draft undergoing its first review, these accuracy issues should be corrected before publication rather than waved through, even though none touch the page's core allegation.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
