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.

All critical regulatory claims (BaFin prohibition, EUR 600,000 fine, winding-up order) are confirmed verbatim from Tier-1 official government sources. The two unverifiable findings (claim_findings[15]: $35M reserve vs $11B at peak; claim_findings[19]: $123M single-day redemption) involve peripheral quantitative details, not core allegations. The one link_rot finding (claim_findings[32]/timeline[0]) is a citation error — the March 2023 essay URL resolves to its 2024 sequel — which is correctable without changing the factual substance of the page. One high-priority coverage gap exists: the BaFin June 25, 2025 formal 42-day redemption order is absent from the page, a material post-cutoff development, but its absence is an omission rather than a factual error. Reviewer confidence of 0.82 supports approving the page as-is, with revision recommended to address the coverage gap and fix the wrong citation URL.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
