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.

No claim was disputed. Applying the spec formula, disputed_pct = (0 disputed + 1 unverifiable) / 37 = 2.7%, well within the approve band, and the reviewer's confidence (0.82) supports that assessment. The page also correctly separates Abidi's individual federal criminal exposure from the state-only co-defendants and adds no unsupported allegations. One coverage gap (absence of on-chain/wallet-level forensic tracing of the NUME token) was flagged high priority, but it identifies an opportunity to expand the page rather than any inaccuracy in what is currently published, so it does not override the approval.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
