Winner of

Ethereum Foundation - Best use of ZK on Mopro 3rd place

Project Description

Every photo you take becomes a tamper-proof capsule of truth — packed with cryptographic claims about its origin. Share just the image, or the full story. Reveal nothing, a little, or everything. Now or later. With Proov, truth is built-in, private by design, and verifiable at scale.

"Why Now" ? The current landscape creates unprecedented demand for verifiable visual content:

AI content explosion → Real images now need proof to stand out AI is making it easier than ever to fake reality — but harder than ever to trust the real thing Misinformation risk → News, journalism, citizen reports demand source integrity Privates, Companies, Institutions → All need verifiable visual data, not unreliable files Zero-trust internet → Verifiable content becomes UX layer, not backend tool Post-platform future → Our capsules work everywhere, from IG stories to DAO governance

✨ Unique Selling Proposition Zero-trust internet → Verifiable content becomes UX layer, not another faceless backend tool Post-platform future → Our capsules work everywhere, from IG stories to DAO governance

✨ Killer Features 📸 One-tap proof generation — photo and cryptographic capsule created instantly One-tap proof generation — no waiting, no manual steps Selective privacy — share content, location, time, device, identity, or keep them sealed ⏳ Future disclosure — unlock more claims later without breaking the proof 🤖 Fake-resistant content — every photo becomes machine-verifiable, even against AI generation Hardware integration — works with all smartphones and trusted camera devices Proofs embedded into QR capsules — post them anywhere: Instagram, X, Telegram 🧳 Portable everywhere — works on Instagram, Twitter, Telegram — no platform lock-in 🧠 AI-generated image descriptions — embedded summaries for visual privacy or text-first sharing

How it's Made

Core Technology Stack

Frontend & Mobile React Native - Cross-platform mobile app development for iOS and Android Enables single codebase for both platforms while maintaining native performance Handles camera integration, UI/UX, and cryptographic proof generation on-device

Backend Infrastructure Node.js servers - Handle API endpoints, proof verification, and business logic Manages user authentication, metadata processing, and integration with partner services Scalable architecture for handling cryptographic operations and data routing

Zero-Knowledge Proofs Circom - Domain-specific language for writing arithmetic circuits Circuit Multiplier 2 - Custom circuit implementation for efficient proof generation Enables privacy-preserving verification of photo authenticity without revealing sensitive metadata
