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, claim_findings[10] — the characterization of Step Finance as an 'overpermissioned AI trading agent' incident — is disputed by three Tier 1 sources (The Record, Halborn, BleepingComputer), all of which describe it solely as a device compromise with no AI agent involvement. The AI agent framing traces exclusively to KuCoin's editorial blog, yet the page presents it as documented fact. This is a classification error affecting a core allegation and propagates into the $45M aggregate figure in claim_findings[15]. Three additional claims are unverifiable or only partially supported (claim_findings[17], [18], [21]), and a high-priority coverage gap calls for either a primary source confirming the AI agent role in Step Finance or explicit re-framing of that section as KuCoin's interpretation.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
