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
- 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. - 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.
- 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.

On disputed content alone this page would clear review. However, the page's most prominent material -- the proposed Tether/Twenty One Capital/Strike merger and the framing of Jack Mallers holding CEO roles at both companies (claim_findings[10], claim_findings[11]) -- describes a situation that no longer exists: the merger was cancelled and Mallers resigned from Twenty One Capital in July 2026, weeks before this review, and the page gives no indication of this. Combined with a high-priority structural gap (all six page sections have empty headings and content, leaving only a summary and timeline as substantive text), the page is sent back for revision rather than approved outright, even though no individual claim was found to be false.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
