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 single disputed claim (claim_findings[1]) is a one-day error in a timeline entry for Executive Order 13810 (September 21 vs. the correct September 20, 2017), which does not affect the substance of the investigation. Three unverifiable claims are limited to institutional background detail (claim_findings[22], [23]) relying on an inaccessible 38 North PDF, and an unsupported superlative (claim_findings[24]) that lacks citation. A $800 million IT worker revenue figure (claim_findings[9]) is misattributed to the November 2025 OFAC action when evidence indicates it originates from a separate March 2026 Treasury action; this is the most significant accuracy concern but does not bear on the central designation narrative. Link rot is confined to those non-critical background citations. A small score penalty is applied for the misattributed statistic and inaccessible sourcing on institutional history.","score_delta":-3,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
