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.

The review did find that the page states Travis Ford was sentenced on November 14, 2025 in three separate places (summary, Criminal Conviction section, and timeline), when both the DOJ's own case docket and the CFTC's press release place the sentencing one day earlier, on November 13, 2025 (claim_findings[1,7,32]). A second, separate date error appears in the timeline, where the CFTC's alleged fraud end date is given as December 24, 2024 instead of the complaint's actual December 10, 2024 (claim_findings[31]). The review also flagged that the page's '3,000+ participants' figure overstates the precision of the CFTC complaint, which counts 3,376 unique digital wallets rather than a confirmed headcount of people (claim_findings[4,17,20]). None of these issues touch the substance of the conviction, the dollar amounts, or the penalties, and the reviewer's overall confidence in its findings was high, so the page should be corrected rather than escalated or removed.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
