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 page's central claim -- that USDG is issued by Paxos Digital Singapore under MAS supervision -- is confirmed precisely, and its treatment of the NYDFS consent order, the yield-sharing business model, and the attestation-vs-audit distinction all hold up (claim_findings[0], [5], [9], [12], [18]-[20]). However, the page has three separate year-level date errors, each contradicted by its own cited sources: the EU/MiCA launch is dated 2026 instead of 1 July 2025 (claim_findings[2]), the SEC's closure of its BUSD investigation is dated 2023 instead of 9 July 2024 (claim_findings[17]), and an OKX listing is dated June 2026 instead of June 2025 (claim_findings[25]). It also names the wrong accounting firm for USDG's current attestations -- Marcum instead of KPMG, per the page's own cited transparency source (claim_findings[6]) -- and compresses two distinct February 2023 regulatory events into a single incorrect date (claim_findings[16]). None of these disputed items overturn a core allegation; they are date and named-entity errors layered on top of an otherwise well-sourced page, but their number and the fact each is directly contradicted by the page's own citations point to a systematic sourcing/dating problem rather than isolated typos. Two additional findings are classified stale rather than disputed and sit outside the numerator, but weigh toward the higher end of this band: a market-cap figure presented without an as-of date understates USDG's size by 15-25% as of publication, and the page's description of Paxos Trust Company as NYDFS-supervised is superseded by its December 2025 conversion to OCC national trust status. A high-priority coverage gap -- the EU/MiCA claim was never checked against a regulator's own register -- reinforces the revise verdict already indicated by disputed_pct, rather than changing the verdict category. Reviewer confidence (0.80) is solid, supporting a standard rather than softened penalty within the band.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
