ProofSnap puts our credo, human truth, machine proof, into action. Every shot is sealed at capture, so better data powers better AI and turns proof of origin into proof of values. The program, funded by NUM, rewards verifiable truth and helps frontline storytellers secure trust at speed.
Reality on the ground
False visuals spread in seconds. During the recent United States-Israel-Iran standoff, social feeds filled with AI-generated missile clips long before reporters verified anything. Originals are hijacked; street photographers and citizen witnesses see their footage copied, altered, or dismissed as fake. Trust fractures quickly when reposts strip metadata, turning authentic files into questionable claims.
Speed beats forensics
Traditional checks such as reverse-image searches, desk reviews, and forensic labs arrive too late for the twenty-four-hour news cycle. Proof must leave the camera the moment the shutter closes.
How ProofSnap closes the gap
• C2PA credentials embed GPS, timestamp, and device data inside every file.
• A cryptographic hash anchors each file to the Numbers Jade Mainnet via an ERC 7053 commit. Any subsequent edit is visible instantly.
• Capture Dashboard tools let verified creators license authentic footage directly to newsrooms.
Needs and responses
• Rapid uptake in conflict zones – free sealing credits, priority onboarding, direct email support for journalists, NGO workers, and citizen reporters.
• Broader cultural adoption – three-month ProofSnap Basic plan, structured feedback loop, and NUM-denominated micro-grants that feed the ecosystem catalyst flywheel.
How the program advances the mission
- Shrinks the misinformation window, letting verified files circulate while rumors are still forming.
- Protects creator equity by converting fleeting posts into on-chain digital property.
- Strengthens the Numbers ecosystem as each authenticated asset increases overall trust.
- Drives continuous improvement through bi-weekly feedback that informs our roadmap.
- Turns proof of origin into proof of values: each sealed file earns NUM-backed credibility that future AI models can trust.
Who should apply
• Freelance and staff journalists operating in conflict or disaster areas.
• Local activists and NGO observers documenting human-rights conditions.
• Residents who want phone footage that can withstand scrutiny.
