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.

Two high-priority coverage gaps push this into revise territory instead: an unsourced summary claim that researcher ZachXBT has flagged LCX, for which the reviewer found no corroborating source after a targeted search (claim_findings[6]), and a licensing timeline that stops at the February 2025 MiCA filing without noting that as of mid-2026 the license remains pending past the EEA's July 2026 transitional deadline (claim_findings[18]). Neither issue rises to a contradicted claim, but both concern a named third party's reputation and the currency of a regulated exchange's licensing status, which the disputed-claims percentage alone does not capture. The page should be revised to either source or remove the ZachXBT line and to add a current-status note on the MiCA application before this is reconsidered for approval.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
