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.

The claim that Eddy Petion is 'named alongside her in all major regulatory actions' is contradicted by the page's own cited Ontario Tribunal decisions, which name only Cynthia Petion and NovaTech Ltd. The page's characterization of the SEC litigation as simply 'pending' with 'no final judgment' is stale: a Clerk's Entry of Default was entered against all three principal defendants on March 10, 2026, predating the page's own source archive timestamps. The 'three jurisdictions' framing in the summary is technically accurate for the three actions detailed but materially undercounts the at least six additional regulatory actions documented in the SEC's own complaint and independent state filings.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
