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.

Because all 6 sections have empty heading/content and the top-level sources_used array is empty, the only checkable material is the summary and the 9-entry timeline; every 'confirmed' verdict here reflects independent verification against outside sources, not agreement with citations the page itself supplies. Of 13 atomic claims, 7 were independently confirmed, 4 were partially supported (accurate substance but mis-cited source, or dates/quantities off by days to weeks), and 2 concerning the April 2026 Tether/Twenty One Capital/Strike/Elektron merger and Mallers' dual CEO role are now stale: the merger was canceled and Mallers resigned as Twenty One Capital's CEO on 2026-07-21, a development the page does not reflect. No claims were found disputed or unverifiable, and no link rot was found among the URLs successfully fetched, though two CoinDesk URLs and one strike.me URL could not be directly fetched (429/403) and were instead corroborated via secondary sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
