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.

However, a systematic date error propagates through sections[2] and the timeline: the FinCEN/U.S. Treasury designation of Huione Group is placed at 'May 2024' throughout (claim_findings[14], [15], [16], and timeline entry dated 2024-05-01), when the actual NPRM date is May 1, 2025 per FinCEN.gov. This one-year error misframes the post-guilty-plea compliance narrative — the article implies $161 million flowed into OKX after a 2024 designation, whereas the designation was contemporaneous with the February 2025 guilty plea. The summary also describes OKX as 'founded in 2017 by Star Xu' (claim_findings[0]) while the body sections correctly identify 2013 as the Okcoin founding date, creating an internal inconsistency visible in the highest-traffic part of the page. These issues require targeted corrections before the page is accurate; no other findings are of comparable severity.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
