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.

All major claims — OFAC designation date and authority, TRM Labs transaction flow figures, OCCRP findings on fictitious directorship, UK dissolution proceedings, FinCEN alert details, and Zanjani's biographical record — are confirmed by tier-1 and tier-2 sources. The six partially_supported findings are minor: a possible discrepancy in the OFAC-designated TRON address count (5-7 depending on source), the Israeli seizure order number (ASO-41/25 vs. ASO-43/25 across sources), a timeline date for Zanjani's arrest that is technically correct for year but uses January 1 as a placeholder rather than the actual December 30 date, a two-day date discrepancy on the Israeli Zedcex designation, and the $344M USDT freeze being attributed to Zedcex/Zedxion enforcement when it was actually a separate Central Bank of Iran action. No claims are disputed or unverifiable.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
