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 reviewer's disputed_pct of 8.8% technically falls in the approve band, but a high-priority coverage gap overrides that outcome: Andrew Yang's Noble Mobile acquired Helium Mobile from Nova Labs on June 2, 2026 — a material ownership change reported by Fortune, Decrypt, Fierce Network, and BusinessWire that the page does not address at all. Additionally, claim_findings at the hotspot-count entry and timeline[6] contain recurring factual errors: HIP 138's community vote is dated January 2025 in both sections[5] and timeline[6] when the vote actually occurred November 22, 2024; and the Q1 2025 hotspot count conflates end-of-quarter new-hotspot figures (28,100) with a Q4 2025 total (~98,000), per Messari Q1 2025 data showing only 63,806 total at end of Q1. These require correction before the page is current and accurate.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
