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
- 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. - 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.
- 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.

However, 3 of 9 claims (33%) could not be verified: Muhammad's date of birth, address and passport numbers (claim_findings[1]), the two TRON wallet strings (claim_findings[5]) and the European-diaspora characterization of Spider and Alkaram (claim_findings[6]). Several other claims go beyond their sources, including the 'front company' wording, the $10 million figure that is TRM's attribution rather than an OFAC allegation, and the individual count that repeats an inconsistency in Treasury's release. The high-priority gap, citing the SDN entries for the identifiers and wallet addresses, pushes the penalty toward the lower-middle of the band.","reviewer_def_hash":"3839668b232611e5b26db72079d64745f8e57e919b8a379e79b44ba4a52c845b","score_delta":-18,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
