Fact-check findings

The reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. This is a lead, not a ruling that the claim is false.

1. #1[disputed][awaiting moderator]in the summary

   “Crossmint is a New York-based web3 infrastructure company founded in 2022 by Alfonso Gómez-Jordana Mañas and Rodrigo Fernández Touza.”

   reviewerCrossmint is headquartered in New YorkNo cited source supports a New York headquarters. Crossmint's own LinkedIn page and third-party company databases (Tracxn, ZoomInfo, LeadIQ) consistently list Miami, Florida as headquarters; the company does appear to maintain a New York office alongside Miami per job postings.
   Proposed correction (not yet applied)

   Crossmint is a Miami-based web3 infrastructure company founded in 2022 by Alfonso Gómez-Jordana Mañas and Rodrigo Fernández Touza.

   reviewerCrossmint, Inc. was incorporated in 2022 and is headquartered in New YorkSame underlying error as the summary claim; none of the three cited news sources specify an HQ location, and available company records point to Miami rather than New York.

   “No publicly reported hacks, exploits, or data breaches involving Crossmint's infrastructure have been identified.”

   reviewerNo publicly reported hacks, exploits, or data breaches involving Crossmint's infrastructure have been identifiedNo breach reports were found, but this is a negative claim about absence of an incident, which cannot be affirmatively confirmed rather than merely not contradicted.

The claim was accurate when written but events since have overtaken it.

   “The company's GOAT SDK (Great Onchain Agent Toolkit) is an MIT-licensed open-source library enabling AI agents to interact with over 200 onchain tools across agent frameworks including Langchain, Vercel AI SDK, and Eliza.”

   reviewerGOAT SDK is an MIT-licensed open-source library enabling AI agents to interact with over 200 onchain tools across Langchain, Vercel AI SDK, and ElizaThe page describes GOAT SDK in the present tense as an actively developed open-source library, but the very repository it cites is now archived/unmaintained. Some individual npm packages under the goat-sdk org remain published, so the underlying integration may still function, but the 'open-source library' framing is outdated.
