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 most notable problems found are a repeated misattribution within the page (crediting 'Ryan' rather than Bauer with recruiting the individual known as 'Mystery' as a moderator), an unsupported 'millions of users' scale claim presented as part of the investigation's own framing, and a revenue figure in the summary that is accurate only as of February 2026 but stated without that qualifier. The page's top-cited source (CoinDesk, credibility tier 1) could not be directly fetched throughout the review despite repeated attempts, so several granular claims rely on corroborating secondary outlets rather than direct primary-source confirmation.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
