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.

One claim, the 300 ETH civil forfeiture case, could not be verified (claim_findings[3]), which puts 1 of 6 checkable claims (about 17%) in the minor band. The explanation offered for the roughly $1.8M figure is speculative and may reflect a forfeiture amount rather than a loss total (claim_findings[2]). The DOJ pages were unreadable during review, so prosecutor names were not checked (excluded from the percentage as source-blocked) and the March 2021 end date was left unconfirmed (claim_findings[5]). A high-priority coverage gap on primary-source access remains. The penalty is kept small because the reviewer's confidence was moderate and no core allegation was contested.","reviewer_def_hash":"bc11388ce4bc4deea1b064fea362663ae06e3f4f687f99604769044d6ffba770","score_delta":-6,"scored_claims":6,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
