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.

Two disputed claims (claim_findings[22] and claim_findings[28]) share the same root error: the FTC's $1 billion / 46,000-victim aggregate is misattributed to the May 2021 FTC data spotlight, when those figures were published in the June 2022 FTC report; the May 2021 report covered approximately $80 million in losses across roughly 7,000 people. This error appears in both the section body and the timeline entry. A third disputed claim (claim_findings[27]) is the Robinhood section heading, which reads '(2024)' when the incident occurred in June–July 2025, confirmed by CNBC and Bloomingbit. The October 2024 event is also twice mislabeled as a 'Falcon 9 booster catch test' when it was the Starship IFT-5 Super Heavy catch, confirmed by Al Jazeera as a partially-supported finding. None of these errors affect the investigation's core conclusions about the existence and mechanics of SpaceX-branded crypto fraud, which are strongly corroborated by Tier 1 sources including Tenable, Bleeping Computer, Popular Science, FTC, Trend Micro, CNBC, and Decrypt.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
