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 disputed_pct of 7.9% falls in the 0–10% approval band. No claim was directly contradicted by an authoritative source, and no link rot was detected. The two most notable weaknesses are: claim_findings[32] conflates the network's theoretical throughput capacity (67,000 TPS) with actual peak transaction volume at the time of the DOGS outage, which is a factual mischaracterization but not a core allegation; and claim_findings[35] cites a $50 billion pig butchering figure for 2025 attributed to UNODC/FTC that reviewers could not substantiate in those sources and which materially overstates verified figures. These issues warrant correction but do not undermine the investigation's primary findings on SEC enforcement, Durov criminal charges, KillNet activity, or drainer/malware incidents, all of which are confirmed by Tier 1 sources. Three high-priority coverage gaps (OFAC/FinCEN designation status, TON Foundation governance, curated on-chain address data) are noted as expansion priorities.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
