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.

All primary assertions — the defendants' names and roles, the DOJ charges, the KNU seizure date and statistics, the OFAC designations, the Strike Force operational numbers, and the IC3 loss figures — are confirmed by Tier 1 or Tier 2 sources. The three partially-supported findings are minor: the description of the defendants' arrest as 'while traveling' omits that they were en route back to Burma; one cited Irrawaddy URL has a headline referencing '900 Foreigners' (the group who refused evacuation) rather than the 1,307 who were evacuated, which could cause source confusion; and one timeline entry attributes May 5 to reporting that was published May 4. No claims were found to be disputed or unverifiable; no link rot was detected in the primary sources checked.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
