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.

Core claims about the July 2025 $27M supply-chain hack, ZachXBT's pig-butchering allegations, the 2018 Hacken wash-trading investigation, Trustpilot/TradersUnion scores, and leadership identities are all independently confirmed. The two notable weaknesses are: (1) Roger Ver's claimed backer/publicist role cannot be confirmed in any currently accessible source; and (2) the regulatory section materially omits BigONE's Kazakhstan AFSA FinTech Lab license, creating a false impression of zero regulatory engagement. Two cited URLs (CoinTelegraph and Hacken.io) returned 404 or similar errors, though the underlying claims they were cited for are confirmed by other sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
