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.

However, there is a significant systematic date error in the ICIJ Coin Laundry section and timeline: the page places the U.S. Treasury's FinCEN designation of Huione Group in 'May 2024' when the actual NPRM date is May 1, 2025, and the analysis window for the $226 million Huione flows begins February 24, 2025 (not February 2024), which misrepresents the post-guilty-plea compliance narrative. Additionally, the summary describes OKX as 'founded in 2017 by Star Xu' while the body sections correctly identify 2013 as the Okcoin founding date, creating internal inconsistency; Star Xu is also more accurately described as a co-founder in multiple sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":1,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
