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 most serious error is a two-entry mistake naming Dmytro Shentsev as the person who lost Ukrainian citizenship by 2023 presidential decree, when the documented decree names his son, Mykyta Shentsev (claim_findings[21], [58]). Reviewers also found a citation mismatch on the S&P index count (the page says 'five' indices but names only four, while its own cited press release lists the fifth) (claim_findings[15]), date errors on the Four Dragons hack, a Ukrainian law-enforcement investigation, and the token's all-time-high price (claim_findings[59], [65], [66]), and an outdated Regulatory Status section that discusses an unresolved Lithuania licensing transition without mentioning WhiteBIT's subsequent MiCA authorization via Austria (claim_findings[43]). The page's central allegations — the disputed ownership structure, the exchange hacks, the Ukrainian criminal investigation, and Russia's 'undesirable organization' designation — held up under review; most of the disputed and unverifiable items are precision, attribution, or sourcing problems rather than fabricated claims. Given that mix, and a reviewer confidence of 0.72, the page is being sent back for revision and placed under review rather than delisted.","score_delta":-20,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
