Terciv

The Terciv blockchain platform was designed to tackle the global epidemic of fake news and purposeful misinformation. With the use of blockchain technology, Terciv will create a way to authenticate the origin of news articles and other forms of published content on the web, so that the consumers of that information can have a way to verify the veracity of the information. Our goals are multifold, with the long term vision being * Protect the public and ensure that we have an informed population by decreasing the amount of misinformation being spread on the web. * Protect legitimate content publishers by providing a platform for content creators/publishers to protect their brand by giving them a way to certify which articles they've published. * Protect the content disseminators (e.g. Facebook and Google) from spreading false information, by creating a public ledger that will allow for the verification of content source/creation in a way that will allow for dissemination channels to certify the origin of the content. At our core, Terciv is designed to create a system that will bring about the validation of news articles distributed online. Terciv uses blockchain technology in a distributed ledger fashion along with machine learning for pattern recognition to properly index articles from confirmed reputable sources into a white list, while blacklisting purposely deceitful articles via the use of pattern recognition algorithms. The solution being offered by Terciv, will not only assist, but will combat this problem through a multi-level approach that will assist in ensuring that news articles consumed online are curated and forever imprinted into the public distributed ledger.
