The Death of Paid Moderation: Why We Open-Sourced Our AI Infrastructure

The crypto ecosystem has a subscription problem.

Launch a token, and you’re immediately besieged by service providers. Buy bots ($50/mo), moderation bots ($30/mo), engagement bots ($100/mo). Before you’ve even minted your supply, you’re bleeding operational capital on tools that should be basic infrastructure.

At Aritect, we refuse to play that game.

We built Consul because we needed it. We open-sourced it because you need it.

The Problem: “Rent-Seeking” Software

Most community tools in Web3 are “rent-seekers.” They gate basic functionality-like banning spammers or showing price charts-behind monthly paywalls. They insert their own ads into your community (“Powered by X Bot”). They hold your data hostage.

We faced this when building the Aritect community. We wanted:

AI-driven moderation that understands context, not just keywords.
Clean buy notifications without gambling ads attached.
Daily summaries so our devs didn’t have to read 5,000 messages to catch up.

The existing solutions were either expensive, ad-heavy, or closed-source. So we built our own.

Introducing Consul

Consul is an AI-powered community assistant. It’s not a SaaS product we’re trying to sell you. It’s a piece of infrastructure we’re giving you.

It is:

Open Source: MIT License. The code is yours.
Self-Hostable: Deploy it on a $5 VPS or a free tier Railway instance.
AI-Native: Uses LLMs (like Llama or OpenAI) to summarize chats and answer user questions.

It is NOT:

A subscription service.
An ad platform.
A black box.

Why We Are Doing This

“If you’re good at something, never do it for free.” — The Joker. “If you want to become a standard, give it away.” — Open Source Philosophy.

Aritect’s business model is Risk Intelligence. We sell premium data APIs and enterprise-grade risk scoring to institutions and pro traders. We do not make money by charging DAO admins $20 a month for a ban-hammer.

By open-sourcing Consul, we achieve two things:

We raise the bar. Moderation tools should be free and transparent.
We build trust. When you use Consul, you see the quality of engineering that goes into everything Aritect builds.

Features at a Glance

1. The “Anti-FUD” AI

Consul doesn’t just match keywords. It understands context.

User: “Is this a scam?”
Old Bot: [Bans user for word “scam”].
Consul: “This project is audited by X and liquidity is locked. Here is the proof…” (Checks context and responds intelligently).

2. Context-Aware Summaries

Your community generates noise. Consul extracts signal. Run /summary and get a bullet-point breakdown of the last 100 messages. What are people worried about? What features are they asking for?

3. Aritect Risk Integration (Coming Soon)

Consul comes with native integration to Aritect’s Risk Engine. Run /check [CA] and instantly get a Liquidity Health Index (LHI) score for any token. Keep your community safe from copy-cat scams without lifting a finger.

How to Get It

You don’t need to talk to sales. You don’t need a credit card. Go to Github and deploy it yourself.

For those who want a managed solution, we offer a hosted version for $ARITECT token holders. But the code will always be free.

Stop renting your infrastructure. Own it.
