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.

All 20 confirmed claims are backed by Tier 1 sources (DOJ, FBI, Treasury/OFAC, IC3, State Department) or corroborated Tier 2 regional outlets. The three partially-supported findings (claim_findings[8], claim_findings[9], claim_findings[26]) are minor: one omits that the defendants were traveling toward Burma rather than just 'traveling,' one involves a potential headline-number confusion on the Irrawaddy source, and one attributes an event to May 5 when the sourced article is dated May 4. None of these partial findings misstate a material fact. A high-priority coverage gap exists around the extradition status (not updated beyond April 2026), but open coverage gaps indicate expansion opportunities, not grounds for denial or revision.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
