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.

However, the page misstates when ISIS-K's media arm began soliciting Monero donations -- it cites 'issue 31, ~December 22, 2023' where its own cited source, GNET Research, and a second independent source both say Issue 29 / September 2023 (claim_findings[15], disputed). The page also omits the specific legal authority (Executive Order 13224 as amended by 13886) behind the sanctions action, which is unusual for a page reporting on a sanctions designation, and it contains a few unsupported figures, including an uncited transaction-size range and an unverified claim that this was 'one of Tether's largest' terrorism-related freezes (claim_findings[12], [21]). The page is a near-duplicate of another investigation covering the same underlying event; it corrects several date errors found on that page but introduces this one of its own, and neither page discloses the overlap to readers. These are contained accuracy and completeness gaps rather than a breakdown of the page's core reporting, which supports a modest score reduction and a note for correction rather than removal from the index.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
