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.

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}
