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, two errors are serious enough to require revision rather than approval. The Polymarket section and its duplicate timeline entry (claim_findings disputed items on sections[4] and timeline[7]) state that bettor wallets were 'connected to Bauer or his associates' — a link none of the cited sources support, and one a same-day CoinDesk follow-up says cannot be established without exchange cooperation, turning an explicitly unattributable event into an attributed one against a person facing no charges. Separately, the page tells readers the party that retained ZachXBT 'was not disclosed' (claim_findings on sections[7]) while a source cited elsewhere on the same page quotes him saying Axiom itself retained him, concealing a fact relevant to judging the investigation's independence. Both issues are also flagged by the reviewer as high-priority coverage gaps, alongside a title ('ring') that outruns the properly hedged body text, and together they warrant a modest downgrade and required corrections even though the well-supported core allegation against Bauer is not in doubt.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
