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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 However, the page's account of events in Brazil has fallen out of date: it states that Capuci's September 2023 arrest was 'unconfirmed,' but later reporting shows he was in fact arrested alongside co-defendant Pires and that a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 Because this sits within a section the page itself flags as critical and leaves readers with an actively outdated picture of an ongoing legal matter, it merits a revision even though the reviewer's numeric disputed-claim count is zero.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}
