How this works

1

Stored on Arweave

The proof data is uploaded to Arweave, a permanent storage network. Once there, it cannot be changed or deleted by anyone - not even CrazyTOS.

2

Registered on AO Computer

Each verification is also registered on AO, a decentralized computer built on Arweave. Think of it as a public ledger: every verified clause gets an entry that anyone can check, creating a tamper-proof chain of records independent of any single company.

3

Why it matters

Companies change their terms all the time. This system creates a permanent, public record of what they said and when. If a clause disappears tomorrow, the proof still exists.
