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 most consequential error is claim_findings[11]: the page's central risk claim — 'Midnight mainnet is not yet live as of mid-2026' — is materially false. Multiple sources including a Tier 1 CoinDesk article confirm the federated mainnet launched March 30, 2026 with nine validators including Google Cloud and Vodafone, invalidating the entire 'Pre-Mainnet Risk' section. Additionally, claim_findings[1] places the project's first announcement in 'late 2023' when Tier 1 sources (CoinDesk, The Block) confirm the original ScotFest unveiling was November 2022. The launch-day price figures in claim_findings[7] ($0.02 floor, 60%+ decline) are also disputed — independent sources consistently report a low of approximately $0.035 and a 66–77%+ decline, with the cited source returning HTTP 403. Reviewer confidence of 0.78 and three high-priority coverage gaps (mainnet status, announcement timeline, post-launch price recovery) support a revision requirement rather than denial.","score_delta":-13,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
