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.

Of 38 claims reviewed, 33 are confirmed across Tier 1 sources (Harvard Law, Federal Reserve, SEC, DOJ, CNN, Bloomberg, Fortune). The disputed_pct is 5.3%, driven by one clear factual error (Anchor Protocol launch date stated as September 2020 vs. actual March 17, 2021) and three minor issues: a $20M discrepancy in the February 2022 reserve injection ($470M stated vs. $450M reported), an unverifiable South Korean losses estimate, and semantic overstatement of Do Kwon's Apple/Microsoft experience as full employment rather than internships. All core allegations—Do Kwon's 15-year sentence, the $4.47B SEC settlement, the collapse mechanics, the $145M Chai fraud, arrest details, and victim impact—are confirmed by authoritative sources. Coverage gaps (on-chain forensics, LFG reserve investigation details, international regulatory responses) suggest expansion opportunities, not denial. No link rot or source quality degradation on critical citations.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
