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 single disputed claim is a material mischaracterization: the page attributes the 'don't care' operator quote to a cocaine laundering inquiry, whereas multiple sources indicate this response was given to a question about scam/stolen Bitcoin — the cocaine inquiry received a different response. Additionally, the commission rate (page states 3-10%, DOJ documents apparently state 'up to 5%') and the service start year (2021 per DOJ/Chainalysis vs 2022 per Europol/BleepingComputer) are areas where sources conflict and the page represents one side without noting the discrepancy. The 'Verified' darknet marketplace claim in Section 3 could not be confirmed from any primary blockchain analysis source.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
