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.

This is a peripheral procedural date, not a core legal allegation, and does not undermine the factual integrity of the page. Four partially-supported claims involve minor editorial imprecisions — a one-month discrepancy in the citizenship renunciation timeline entry, a defensible but slightly ambiguous BCH fork block height, an imprecise characterisation of the CoinFLEX settlement as Ver 'winning' a $100 million award, and a condensed DOJ quote — none of which misrepresent material facts. All core legal events are confirmed by primary government sources (DOJ, IRS). A high-priority coverage gap flags an unaddressed ProPublica investigation into the DPA negotiation process; this warrants future expansion but does not make existing content inaccurate.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
