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 core facts — the 3AC loan composition, bankruptcy date and venue, regulatory actions by FDIC, Fed, FTC, and CFTC, and the creditor distribution figures — are confirmed by primary government sources or tier-1 journalism. Four claims are partially supported due to minor issues: the exact breakdown of the Alameda bailout ($200M/$300M split unverifiable), the crypto market cap peak figure ($2.9T vs. the commonly cited $2.8-3.0T range), the timeline conflation of FTX's November bankruptcy with SBF's December arrest, and the characterization of state regulatory actions as uniform cease-and-desist orders when Indiana is omitted and action types varied. No claims are disputed or fabricated. The principal coverage gaps are the absence of civil litigation history, celebrity endorsement details, and VGX token conduct.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":1,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
