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.

Two claims were disputed by primary sources: claim_findings[22] and timeline[3] attribute the FTC '46,000 victims / $1 billion lost' statistic to a May 2021 report, but a Tier 1 FTC press release and CNBC confirm those figures come from a June 2022 report covering a different time period — the May 2021 source documented far smaller losses. This same error is repeated in both the section body and the timeline entry. Additionally, claim_findings[14] and timeline[8] misidentify the October 13, 2024 SpaceX event as a 'Falcon 9 booster catch test'; two independent Tier 2 sources confirm it was the Starship IFT-5 Super Heavy booster catch — a different vehicle and a historically distinct milestone. A third correction is required in the Robinhood section heading, which reads '(2024)' when the incident occurred in June–July 2025. These are editorial errors in an otherwise well-sourced investigation; the core thesis and primary loss figures remain confirmed.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
