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.

The review did surface a cluster of correctable sourcing problems rather than false statements: a citation attached to a '90 million tokens unlocked in July 2025' claim actually documents a different, earlier 40-million-token unlock (claim_findings[6]); a sentence places Senator Schiff inside the SEC-referral narrative when his documented role was in a separate Mar-a-Lago document-request effort (claim_findings[17]); a '58 wallets with $10M+ profits' figure is paired in the same sentence with a 988,905-wallet loss figure drawn from a different, later study (claim_findings[8]); one claim about foreign-national ownership and emoluments concerns carries no traceable citation (claim_findings[25]); and wallet-concentration percentages could not be reconciled against a primary on-chain source (claim_findings[3]). A stale present-tense price figure (claim_findings[32]) reflects ordinary memecoin volatility rather than an editorial defect. Because these are provenance and attribution problems on an otherwise well-corroborated page with a solid, accurately held central thesis, a moderate downward adjustment with a request for correction is warranted rather than escalation or approval without changes.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
