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.

The primary weaknesses are: (1) the claim that the LTV vulnerability was flagged in a prior audit is unverifiable from any consulted source; (2) the timeline's April 1, 2025 date for the 'Next Chapter' press release is incorrect — that release is dated May 9, 2025 and the Bolts Capital formal announcement is August 2025; (3) the fund conversion path description slightly oversimplifies a multi-protocol swap. No claims are actively contradicted by a more credible source. One cited URL (bitcoinethereumnews.com) returned HTTP 403, but the claims it supports are corroborated by Rekt News.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
