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 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}
