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 page correctly applies the named-individual standard: it describes only a pending civil class action rather than a criminal indictment, adds no unsourced background about Clinton So, and keeps the SEC's clearance of Haliey Welch properly separate from So's and OverHere's ongoing civil exposure (claim_findings[40]). Two substantive errors were found: a $3.3 million figure is presented as the peak-price value of a 17% token allocation when the underlying source describes it as proceeds early backers realized by selling, which changes what the figure tells a reader about insider extraction (claim_findings[19]); and a related case's docket number is given as 1:24-cv-08965 where four independent legal-docket sources show 1:24-cv-08695 (claim_findings[25]). Additional minor defects -- a placeholder amended-complaint date (claim_findings[29]), a mismatched archive snapshot, and two inline citations missing from the source list -- support a revise-with-corrections outcome rather than approval, and a high-priority conflict with a sibling page over which statute and collapse percentage apply to the same lawsuit is noted for editorial correction since this process has no mechanism to merge or cross-link pages.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
