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, the page's central regulatory narrative — that the SEC 'removed FIL's classification from the Binance lawsuit' in July 2024 — is factually backwards and repeated three times (summary, SEC section, timeline): the July 2024 filing concerned other tokens and deferred rather than resolved the question, and the SEC's September 2024 amended complaint explicitly continued to name FIL as an alleged security. The timeline entry's cited source for this claim is also about Solana, not Filecoin. Separately, all three sources cited in the SEC Securities Classification section actually describe an unrelated May 2023 SEC/Grayscale comment letter rather than the Binance or Kraken lawsuits they are used to support, though the underlying Binance/Kraken facts check out via other sources. The Binance FIL/BNB delisting is confirmed, but its stated cause and the specific 6.66% price-dip figure rest on a single inaccessible source.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
