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.

Dollar figures, case numbers, judgment amounts, and the mechanics of the mining-package scheme all check out, and no fabricated or disputed sources were identified. However, the page's account of events in Brazil has fallen out of date: it states that Capuci's September 2023 arrest was 'unconfirmed,' but later reporting shows he was in fact arrested alongside co-defendant Pires and that a Brazilian criminal trial began in August 2024 — a development the page does not mention at all (claim_findings[9], coverage_gaps[0], marked high priority). Because this sits within a section the page itself flags as critical and leaves readers with an actively outdated picture of an ongoing legal matter, it merits a revision even though the reviewer's numeric disputed-claim count is zero. A separate, minor issue — a timeline entry presenting January 1, 2018 as an exact date when the underlying SEC complaint only supports 'at least January 2018' as an approximate lower bound (claim_findings[11]) — reinforces that a light revision, not approval, is the right call.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
