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.

A small number of claims are only partially supported: the LIBRA comparison overstates a 'collapsed 99% on its first day' figure that independent reporting puts at approximately 94% on day one; the Conor Grogan attribution is cited to a source that does not mention him even though the underlying fact is independently true elsewhere; and two minor figures (a $20.6M unlock valuation and a Lookonchain-specific attribution) could not be traced to their cited sources. Two claims (a 'Dexter Lab' quote and Yeezy Investments LLC's Delaware registration) could not be independently verified either way.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
