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 reviewer identified five partially-supported findings and four unverifiable claims, none of which concern core allegations of fraud, misconduct, or regulatory action. The most significant issues are two correctable timeline errors: claim_findings[25] dates the Jito Foundation Q&A to April 2024 when the article was published May 2023, and claim_findings[27] incorrectly states that Roadmap 2.0 outlined Citrus, which does not appear in the source document. Charity donation figures in claim_findings[23] are also slightly understated and two named charities are not confirmed by the cited source. These are editing-grade corrections, not grounds for revise or deny. A -5 score modifier is applied to flag the factual timeline inaccuracies for remediation.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
