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 computed disputed_pct of 9.3% sits just below the approve threshold, but seven findings require correction before the page is clean. The most significant factual error is claim_findings[5]: Alameda Research was co-founded by SBF and Tara Mac Aulay, not Caroline Ellison — a claim disputed by two independent Tier 2 sources including a direct quote from Mac Aulay. A materially stale legal status appears in claim_findings[28]: the page states both the appeal and new trial motion 'remained pending as of mid-2026,' but the new trial motion was withdrawn by SBF and denied with prejudice by Judge Kaplan in April 2026. Additional minor inaccuracies include the Binance initial investment price (disputed across sources at $18.3M–$100M), the First Step Act '18 years' claim (legally uncertain per Protos reporting with no citation on the page), Caroline Ellison's release date (January 22 not January 1), and the SBF appeal filing date (unverifiable at April 11, 2024). These errors are all peripheral to the core fraud allegations and correctable without narrative revision.","score_delta":-7,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
