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.

The two partially-supported findings (claim_findings[5]: funding round characterized as 'institutional' when evidence suggests a community round; claim_findings[12]: price surge described as peaking at ~$3.30 when the eventual ATH reached ~$6.66-$7.49) are minor descriptive simplifications that do not undermine the core allegations. The single unverifiable claim (timeline[0]: January 1, 2023 Eesee founding date) is a low-weight placeholder date. No claims are affirmatively contradicted by credible sources, there is no link rot, and both accepted submissions are verified as supporting the page as labeled. The high-priority coverage gap for independent on-chain verification is noted and warrants expansion but does not justify withholding approval.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
