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.

No unhedged allegations were found -- the page appropriately frames ongoing terror-financing and security-failure investigations as 'alleged' and 'probe' rather than as established fact, and correctly attributes the underlying terror-financing concern to a specific customer's alleged conduct rather than to WazirX. Weaknesses are narrower: one cited source (coinpedia, for the Feb 2025 FIU/ED item) is dead (404), two 2022-era ED raid/unfreeze claims could not be independently re-verified in this pass due to source access errors (403/429), and the 2026 futures-launch date lacks any citation. Section body content was entirely empty in this snapshot, so only the summary and timeline could be fact-checked.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
