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.

The four partially-supported findings (claim_findings[1], [16], [19], [33]) reflect evolving figures between the February 2026 criminal complaint and the May 2026 forfeiture filings rather than errors: the page's $328 million / 2,000+ investor figures are accurate to the criminal complaint but do not acknowledge the higher $400 million / 1,000+ investor figures in the later forfeiture filing. The forfeiture total is also understated at '$18 million' when documented values sum to approximately $21.97 million (claim_findings[16]). One claim — that Goliath Capital is a 'legally distinct and unrelated entity' — is unverifiable because that entity's website lacks credible regulatory documentation (claim_findings[33]). Two high-priority coverage gaps (indictment status with a June 26, 2026 deadline, and absence of on-chain analysis of the $123 million Coinbase transfers) are material enough to warrant revision before the page is treated as current.","score_delta":-7,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
