False Positive | arweave.net

[Jonny-Ringo]

What are the subjects of the false-positive (domains, URLs, or IPs)?

arweave.net

Why do you believe this is a false-positive?

Hello,

I’m reaching out regarding what appears to be a false positive security flag being applied to arweave.net, which is preventing users from accessing content served through this domain.

Arweave.net is an official public gateway for the Arweave decentralized storage network. It functions as neutral infrastructure, similar to a cloud provider or ISP, allowing browsers to retrieve publicly stored data from the Arweave blockchain over HTTPS. The gateway does not create, own, or control the content it serves. It simply provides standard web access to data that exists on a decentralized network.

Because Arweave is permissionless, any individual can upload content — just as they can on other decentralized or cloud-based platforms. Flagging the gateway domain itself as malicious impacts legitimate websites, applications, and users who rely on it for normal operations.

We respectfully request a review of the classification applied to arweave.net so that legitimate access to this public infrastructure can be restored.

Please let me know if any additional technical documentation or clarification would be helpful.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Jon “Jonny Ringo” Williams
