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, claim_findings[12] contains a material factual error: the page states CZ's four-month sentence was 'the minimum requested by defense counsel,' when CNBC and Fortune (both Tier 1) confirm that defense counsel sought zero prison time (house arrest or probation), not four months. This mischaracterizes a high-profile legal outcome in a way that understates the sentence's severity relative to defense hopes. Additional issues include a timeline date error on the AMF PSAN registration (January vs. May 2022, claim_findings[9]), France presented as a confirmed next jurisdiction when Binance made no official statement (claim_findings[8]), and two high-priority coverage gaps — on-chain verification of the Iran transaction figures and the post-pardon status of Binance's corporate compliance monitorship — that represent significant open questions for a page covering active regulatory risk.","score_delta":-7,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
