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 content is accurate and stands as published. This is a severity-calibration adjudication: the current score of 35 is modestly below where the evidence warrants within the WARNING band. The DOJ SDNY guilty plea (claim_findings[0]) and the pattern of multi-jurisdictional AML failures (claim_findings[1]) constitute affirmative misconduct by OKX's own staff and clearly anchor placement in the WARNING band. However, measurable remediation steps documented in claim_findings[3] and claim_findings[4] — specifically ICE's $200M strategic investment at a $25B valuation, full MiCA licensure across all 30 EEA states, and the court-supervised external compliance monitor through February 2027 — support a marginal upward adjustment to 44, keeping the page firmly in WARNING while crediting verifiable progress. The Lazarus Group/Bybit laundering incident (claim_findings[2]) applies only a partial own-negligence penalty as it is primarily third-party abuse of OKX's DEX aggregator. A score_modifier_delta of +9 moves the score from 35 to the reviewer-recommended 44, consistent with the WARNING band and proportionate to the severity of the criminal conviction.","score_delta":9,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
