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, the review also flags a high-priority coverage gap tied to claim_findings[21]: the page states as settled fact that the token-to-equity conversion plan 'has no established precedent in U.S. bankruptcy jurisprudence,' while its own cited sources only describe the arrangement as 'rarely seen.' This appears in the page's highest-severity section, covering the central risk facing token holders, so the overstatement is corrected rather than waved through as a mere expansion opportunity. Two smaller issues reinforce a light revision rather than a deeper one: claim_findings[29] disputes BitMart's reported user count (page says over nine million; BitMart's own reporting says over 13 million), a peripheral fact about a third party rather than Storj itself, and claim_findings[12] found a $20M trading-volume figure that could not be traced to either cited source, though the accompanying market-cap figure checked out.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
