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.

The page appropriately hedges allegations with presumption-of-innocence language throughout. The most substantive issue found is that the page's framing of the May 6, 2024 state injunction as the moment assets were 'obtained'/frozen omits that the same freeze actually began via a temporary restraining order roughly five months earlier (December 11, 2023), per the page's own cited court filing — a timing gap that recurs in both the narrative section and the timeline entry. A small number of secondary details (Satori's Bartlett, Tennessee location versus a BBB-listed Arkansas address; the 'Nusime LLC' spelling variant; and the candidate's claimed 1997 immigration from Lahore, Pakistan) could not be independently verified. The page would benefit from covering more recent developments: the apparent ongoing Nashville chancery litigation and the current status of the federal criminal case, neither of which is reflected despite being material to the investigation's currency.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
