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.

Two defects stand out: the summary incorrectly implies the Diem IP write-down happened simultaneously with Silvergate's March 2023 collapse when it was actually reported roughly two months earlier (Q4 2022 results, January 2023), and both the timeline and prose overstate the Novi wallet's shutdown as complete in July 2022 when independent reporting places full discontinuation on September 1, 2022 (July was only the announcement). A cited CNN URL used in three places (a section, a timeline entry, and the top-level source list) returned HTTP 451 on direct fetch and could not be mirrored via Wayback Machine with available tools, though the facts it supports are redundantly covered by other working citations in the same section. One quote (Levey's 'new day' remark attributed to CNBC) could not be independently confirmed due to CNBC blocking automated access, and is marked unverifiable rather than disputed.
