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.

Two clear defects were found: an unsupported '80% of national total' figure attached to the October 2021 fuel-station attack, repeated in both prose and the timeline (sources indicate the 4,300 stations affected represented essentially the entire network, not 80%, and this appears to conflate with the unrelated 70% figure correctly used for the December 2023 attack); and a timeline date one day off from the cited source's own stated day of the reemergence event. A sources_used entry has an archive_url pointing to a completely unrelated article and should be fixed or removed. The CCDCOE scenario-number claim and the exact wiper configuration-parameter count could not be independently verified due to source unavailability. Coverage gaps exist around on-chain forensic specifics and attribution skepticism.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
