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.

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}
