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
- 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. - 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.
- 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}
