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 three partially_supported findings are factual inaccuracies rather than fabrications: claim_findings[5] and the corresponding timeline entry misattribute the 4,300-domain campaign start (August 2025) to GHOST STADIUM alone, when Group-IB's own report assigns that figure to four threat actors collectively — GHOST STADIUM was first observed in November 2025. Separately, claim_findings[20] attributes a specific 'fictional institutional concept' self-description to Bitrue's analysis of the OFDR token, wording the Bitrue source does not contain. One cited URL (CoinTelegraph /explained/) is confirmed dead link rot, though the underlying claim it supports is independently verified. These inaccuracies warrant a minor score reduction but do not affect the page's core thesis, which is strongly supported by FBI IC3, LASD, Group-IB, Malwarebytes, and Fortinet FortiGuard Labs sources.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
