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 most significant factual error is a recurring misstatement across two sections (claim_findings[12] and claim_findings[29]): the page states that a wallet attributed to Wynn 'received 6,000 ETH from Alameda Research,' while the page's own primary cited sources describe the amount as 'around $6,000 in ETH' — a dollar-value figure. At late-2020 ETH prices, 6,000 ETH tokens would be worth approximately $2–3 million, versus a transfer of roughly $6,000 USD; the distinction is material to the seeding narrative. Additionally, the Denials and Rebuttals section (claim_findings[26]) incorrectly characterizes a casual social media exchange with Changpeng Zhao as a 'public endorsement,' which three independent sources contradict. A Lookonchain citation placed in a mid-2026 narrative context (claim_findings[30]) appears to date from June 2025. The core risk narrative — extreme leverage use, liquidation history, memecoin promotion allegations, and WORLD token controversy — is broadly confirmed across credible outlets and is not materially affected by these errors. Revision is warranted to correct the ETH denomination error, reframe the CZ interaction accurately, and fix the timeline placement of the wallet-loss citation.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
