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.

However, the page contains a clear factual error repeated in two places: it states celebrity defendants settled for '$400,000 each' when the SEC's own cited press release describes $400,000 as a combined total across six defendants, overstating individual payments roughly six-fold. It also misdates the Hall/Juraszek piracy lawsuit as filed in January 2020 when its own cited source places the filing in October 2019, and contains an internal contradiction between the Company Background section (correctly describing a disputed acquisition with a TRO to block competing bids) and the timeline (incorrectly describing a 'competitive bidding process'). A sentence referencing a 2025 BTFS-related class action and the claimed California venue for the Hall/Juraszek suit could not be verified from any source. Most other claims, including the detailed wash-trading figures and settlement terms, check out cleanly against primary SEC documents.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
