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.

A handful of claims are only partially supported (imprecise incorporation date, an editorial 'single point of failure' framing, and an unattributed 'first ever' superlative) and two are inherently unverifiable negative claims (absence of government contact, absence of an established precedent) rather than sourcing failures. No disputed or contradicted claims and no link rot were found among the sources actually reachable, though several URLs (dailyhodl.com, bitrss.com, cryip.co, bsc.news) returned HTTP 403/402 on direct fetch and had to be corroborated via independent search-indexed content instead.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
