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 review's 13% disputed rate is driven primarily by one confirmed factual error and one unverifiable claim: claim_findings[23] shows the OpenSea NFT trading volume is stated as approximately $7 million on the page, but Tier 1 and Tier 2 sources (Decrypt, Vice, CoinTelegraph) consistently report approximately $4 million — this should be corrected. Additionally, claim_findings[33] on MiCA-driven European delistings in September 2024 lacks any corroborating evidence and may conflate separate regulatory events; this claim should be removed or sourced. Minor issues include a one-word quote transcription discrepancy in claim_findings[21], unverifiable social media aliases in claim_findings[19], and two performance figures (900% initial gain, 1,900% 2024 rally) that are directionally plausible but lack direct sourcing. Three high-priority coverage gaps — on-chain verification of the promised 10 trillion token burn, chain-of-custody tracing of the stolen tokens, and current SEC enforcement status for the Wallace Wells Notice — are significant and should be addressed in the next revision.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
