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.

Disputed_pct lands at 12.9%, squarely in the minor-issues band. Two things push the penalty toward the upper end of that band rather than the low end: the page states BitMart's full closure by January 31, 2027 as settled fact, but BitMart itself announced on August 21-22, 2026 -- before this review -- that it may pursue a restructuring with partial resumption and creditor payouts instead (claim_findings[1], reinforced by coverage_gaps[0] and coverage_gaps[1], both flagged high priority); and the page states BitMart 'lost' UK regulatory authorization in October 2023, when the FCA's own record shows BitMart never held that authorization and the actual FCA actions were standard unauthorized-firm warnings issued later, in September 2024 and July 2025 (claim_findings[22]). A separate misattribution -- crediting CoinDesk with 'over 30' failed crypto projects in 2026 when CoinDesk's own reporting cites 63 and later 100+ -- understates rather than inflates the industry-decline narrative and is a lower-severity sourcing error (claim_findings[27]). One remediation-related gap works in the subject's favor: the page omits that BitMart's 2021 reimbursement pledge left some token holders, notably SAFEMOON holders, unpaid for at least a month (claim_findings[19]), meaning the page is arguably too generous on that point.","score_delta":-13,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
