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 primary issue requiring revision is stale adoption data: claim_findings[2] and claim_findings[17] both identify that the '~20% of validators' and '207 of 992 validators' figures originate from October 2025 BlockEden data, while the page presents them as current 'May 2026' or 'early 2026' status; live tracker wenfiredancer.com as of June 1, 2026 shows 87 of 754 validators at 15.11% stake. Additionally, claim_findings[3] notes the summary uses the word 'manipulation' for the Tai Mo Shan SEC matter while the SEC's actual finding was 'negligently misleading' — a legally meaningful distinction the page itself corrects in the detailed section. Two high-priority coverage gaps (live adoption tracker linkage; possible Firedancer 1.0 announcement at Solana Accelerate May 2026) also indicate the page requires updating rather than denial.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
