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.

However, the review identified three specific, checkable errors: the state injunction is misdated (page says obtained in May 2024; the court order itself shows March 22, 2024), the NUME token/NumisMe ownership is over-attributed to Galani and Anisha Abidi when the court's own stipulated facts assign sole ownership to Misam Abidi, and the timeline incorrectly implies Abidi appears on the August 2026 primary ballot when Tennessee independents only appear on the November general-election ballot. The page consistently and correctly labels federal allegations as allegations and correctly avoids naming Anisha Abidi or Galani as federal co-defendants.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
