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.

By the disputed_pct formula (disputed + unverifiable) / total, that is 3/31 = 9.68%, which falls just under the 10% threshold for approval rather than at the reviewer's rounded 10% figure. No claim was found to be disputed by a contradicting credible source. The two categories of concern that were checked most closely for a page naming an individual under federal indictment both came back clean: all four direct quotations attributed to the defendant and his fiancée, plus the defense's 'business failure is not a crime' statement, were independently confirmed as accurately attributed (claim_findings[15], [16], [11]), and personal liability is consistently kept separate from the company's corporate conduct throughout, including in the Risk Factors section (claim_findings[27]). Two partially supported findings show the page compresses the FAR token's roughly year-long decline into language suggesting an immediate post-launch collapse (claim_findings[8], [23]) -- a real overstatement of pace, though not a fabricated outcome, since the token did in fact end up worthless. One unverifiable finding is an uncited editorial line calling SDNY 'one of the most aggressive federal venues,' presented inside a section framed as 'confirmed by federal indictment' (claim_findings[26]) -- this is the page's own voice, not a sourcing gap, and should be corrected or clearly attributed as commentary. The other two unverifiable findings are artifacts of blocked/erroring fetches (a 403 on the DOJ release, a 503 on CoinMarketCap) rather than substantive contradictions. None of the five coverage gaps are marked high priority, so per the review bands they support future expansion rather than a lower verdict.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
