Preserving Proof - Integrating Decentralized Storage with Location Protocol in Proofmode
- 17 November 2025
Journalists documenting conflict zones need to prove where evidence was captured. Climate researchers tracking deforestation require verifiable location data. Communities establishing land rights depend on immutable geographic records. The capability to create “proofs” from captured media is front and center in Proofmode, an open-source mobile application that verifies the provenance of photos and videos. In Proofmode, media can be captured or analyzed using multiple layers of its immutable metadata. The integrity of the media is ascertained by generating “proof artifacts”. These artifacts include hardware fingerprinting, cryptographic signing, and third-party notaries, which are combined into a “proof” allowing anyone to verify the authenticity of the selected media.
