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.

Four claims are partially supported: the 'New York-based' headquarters designation conflicts with CBInsights and Crunchbase listing Orlando, FL as the registered address (claim_findings[0]); the 'Buddhist monk' characterization overstates what sourced interviews describe as a three-month silent zen retreat (claim_findings[14]); SOC 2 certification is confirmed but the 'Type II' specification is not independently verified beyond self-disclosure (claim_findings[3]); and Crossmint is framed as 'the stated infrastructure provider for x402' when it is one of several providers in an open protocol led by Coinbase (claim_findings[27]). Three claims are unverifiable due to inaccessible sources, including Trustpilot data blocked by a 403 error (link rot, claim_findings[25]) and the '1 million wallets' statistic absent from any independent source (claim_findings[7]). No safety-critical, financial, or regulatory findings are undermined, and no enforcement or fraud signals were identified. Revision to correct the headquarters description, monastery characterization, and x402 framing is recommended.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
