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.

The core regulatory timeline (NYDFS, SEC, CFTC enforcement actions), IPO financials, and post-IPO restructuring claims are all well-supported by credible primary and secondary sources. Key issues include: (1) the founding year is described as '2015' in the summary but the company was founded in 2014 and launched in 2015; (2) the claim that Earn investors received 100% by 'late 2025' is inaccurate — full recovery was announced May 2024; (3) the '2.5x the prevailing Bitcoin market price' characterization for the Winklevoss Capital investment is misleading (the premium was over GEMI's stock price, not over Bitcoin's market price); (4) the NY AG $50M settlement (June 2024) is omitted entirely. No sources appear to be dead links, though SEC press releases returned 403 errors during direct fetching.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
