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 vast majority of discrete claims are confirmed by independent sources. Key issues are: (1) the Alameda Research stETH sale amount ('more than $75 million') is cited to sources that do not mention Alameda at all — the figure itself is within plausible range per other sources but the citation is inaccurate; (2) the timeline's May 2021 Paradigm round entry uses the a16z March 2022 article URL as its source, a citation mismatch; (3) two cited URLs are inaccessible (FindLaw 403, Unchained Crypto 403); (4) the page slightly conflates Q3 2024 operator count data with CSM launch timing, since CSM launched in Q4 2024. No claims are factually disputed by more credible current sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
