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 significant factual issue is a recurring mischaracterization of the Alameda Research transfer as '6,000 ETH' when the page's own cited sources describe it as 'around $6,000 in ETH' (a dollar-value figure), a distinction of potentially millions of dollars. A secondary concern is the claim of a CZ 'public endorsement,' which sources characterize as a casual social media reply rather than an endorsement. One Lookonchain citation is placed in a '2026' context when the post dates to June 2025, and the exact quote attributed to Wynn about 'effectively gambling' could not be independently verified verbatim.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
