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.

However, two defects recur in multiple places: (1) a factual error claiming 'Ripple paid a $50 million settlement' in the SEC litigation, when in fact Judge Torres rejected the proposed $50 million reduction and the original $125,035,150 penalty stands unmodified -- this appears in both the Parent Company Legal History section and the Aug 22, 2025 timeline entry; and (2) a reserve-attestation figure mislabeled as a 'July 16, 2026' snapshot when the cited source and the closest matching figures actually describe the February 2026 Deloitte attestation -- this also appears in both a section and a timeline entry. Two further timeline entries (Aug 2024 beta, Oct 2024 exchange partnerships) are factually accurate but cite the wrong underlying article. A stablecoin/cryptocurrency ranking claim for July 2026 could not be independently reproduced and is marked unverifiable rather than disputed given tracker-methodology variance.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
