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.

Four claims are disputed: claim_findings[29] and [30] contain compounded errors in the regulatory section, citing the wrong press release (jy0768, which covers Blender.io) for the Tornado Cash sanction and incorrectly labeling Tornado Cash as the 'first-ever' sanctioned mixer when Blender.io held that distinction. Additionally, claim_findings[31] presents the Tornado Cash OFAC sanctions as currently operative when they were lifted in March 2025 following the Fifth Circuit ruling — a material stale error. Claim_findings[35] misattributes the 'institutional pace' laundering commentary to Bybit CEO Ben Zhou; the CyberScoop source attributes it to TRM Labs analyst Ari Redbord. The -12 modifier reflects that these errors are isolated to the regulatory and contextual sections and do not undermine the primary threat-intelligence value of the page.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
