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.

Problems are narrower: the summary's 'most of it into Monero' is stronger than Crypto Briefing ('portions') and CoinDesk (no mention); the ChangeNOW freeze is media-reported and ChangeNOW itself declines to confirm it; one timeline source_url (Crypto Briefing) does not contain the details in the event text; the PYMNTS archive_url points to an unrelated article; and the 1inch/vanity-wallet details were not found in sources I read. Corporate background and the industry statistics could not be verified because the sources were blocked.
