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.

Two specific factual errors were identified: the SEC complaint's court venue is misstated as the Southern District of New York when multiple independent sources place it in the Eastern District of New York, and the defamation-suit section incorrectly attributes the filing to 'entities associated with Arshad Assofi' when independent sources identify GIBF GP, Inc. and Donald Basile as the plaintiffs. A handful of secondary claims (an event-date conflation around the Quavo/GENESIS gala, an unqualified 'precious metals' backing detail, and an outdated Hellmuth bracelet count) show minor imprecision but do not undermine the page's overall reliability.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
