It looks like Ethos is about to go mainstream! A user is currently SlashCZ @cz_binance! The stake is 212 points, and if successful, CZ's reputation score will directly drop to that of a regular user! Slash is similar to a public trial assembly. When someone strongly dislikes another person, they can initiate a citizen trial through this method, allowing all Ethos users to vote on whether the accused party is "guilty." Since that's the case, the mock court is now in session! The following content is purely for fun and aims to showcase the gameplay of @ethos_network. Please don't take it seriously! Especially, CZ, please don't actually bring this into a courtroom scenario. This is merely a Web3 reputation system gameplay—just treat it as entertainment! Let's begin! Plaintiff: @chadstrdaumus0 Current reputation score: 1703 Defendant: @cz_binance Current reputation score: 1569 Plaintiff's statement (translated): ======================== "Fraudster, shady dealings, no longer trustworthy." It is becoming increasingly evident that CZ is turning into a problematic figure in the crypto space! First, the situation with @dingalingts and the recent "Boop FUD" is unacceptable: @dingalingts has maintained close ties with Binance in various capacities, which is well-documented and easily searchable; CZ himself admitted this in past interviews. Now, he publicly distances himself and throws @dingalingts under the bus. We will not tolerate such actions. @dingalingts is one of the most respected figures in the crypto world and one of our heroes. Spreading misinformation or lies about him is unforgivable. Not to mention the broccoli... ======================== Defendant's actions: In one reply, CZ disclosed Binance's internal management structure and specifically mentioned "former employees fired for insider trading, years later claiming to be founders, CXOs..." This was widely interpreted by the public as an insinuation about @dingalingts's personal profile and quickly gained traction, garnering nearly 300,000 views and gradually fermenting in the English-speaking community. Since CZ stated the story was fictional and not to be taken literally, the insinuation logic remains ambiguous for now. ========================= Then there's the opinion of the temporary judge @0x5f_eth: "I think this lawsuit lacks a lot of background information. It would be better if more details could be provided." Since @0x5f_eth is the founder of Ethos and the person with the highest reputation in the entire community, he has a very objective judgment of the entire reputation mechanism. Therefore, his opinion is currently the most neutral, making him suitable to act as the temporary judge. ========================= Finally, the jury's opinions (translated): @LeoxCrane: "He called this reply purely fictional to avoid legal disputes. Maybe this co-founder engaged in insider trading, but no one knows the specifics. I just think Slash is correct. For continued growth, Binance started listing a lot of junk tokens last year. And they let the tokens drop just to attack Hyperliquid. Now it has escalated to discussing Ding. So for me, based on the timeline of events, Slash is quite reasonable!" @bread_treats: "I don't like CZ, but this time I vote in his favor. I don't see any motive for him to lie, and Dingaling would clearly benefit if he lied. Also, the whole notion of Dingaling being a 'hero' is a bit odd... Whose hero? This guy ran a few Ponzi scheme websites; what's the big deal? If we are to hold CZ accountable, please provide some real information instead of fabricating fan fiction about a junk token developer." @RestlessHavoc: "This is just venting and not worth blaming, as most of what's here is mere speculation." @thisissmooth: "From what I currently understand, this is just a bunch of overinterpreted information without any clear evidence! Is this really worth being Slashed? We're discussing something someone once said in an interview, then vaguely repeated in a tweet without naming names. This is easily overinterpreted, and they might be referring to several different people! Here are the facts: CZ's statements: Contradict the claims here: Assuming, for argument's sake, that he was referring to Dingaling in both instances. To me, this is complete nonsense. I don't think there's enough evidence to support a trial at this point!" ========================= Current case status: A total of 16 people have participated in the judgment, with 12 voting to Slash and 4 voting to support CZ! The proportion supporting Slash accounts for nearly 80%! However, this citizen assembly still has more than 40 hours to go, so during this time, public opinion will continue to shift. Perhaps CZ just needs to remain silent, and Binance supporters will launch a counterattack; Or @dingalingts supporters will fight harder and ultimately succeed in reducing CZ's reputation score... Either way, this is the most likely day for Ethos to gain widespread attention since its release. After all, everything happening here is also taking place on-chain. Whether it's a simple comment or a mere like, it could be permanently recorded on-chain. This indirectly sends a message to founders, project teams, and KOLs in the entire cryptocurrency community: don't do evil! The eyes of the masses are sharp! Finally, I hope CZ receives a fair judgment. I strongly hope to avoid emotional, angry voting or the appearance of large numbers of bots! I just hope everyone expresses their opinions truthfully and objectively, without being blinded by anger, bowing to the powerful, or engaging in pure personal attacks. Please be a rational observer! Thank you!
