Veris
A photo I took was real, and a lot of people decided it was AI. I had no way to prove them wrong. Veris is the camera I built so that never happens again: the proof is made inside the camera, at the moment of capture, instead of anyone trying to detect fakes afterwards.
- Capture to on-chain check
- under 1 second
- Prototypes
- 3 formsphone clip, hot-shoe module, standalone camera
- Google Solution Challenge 2026
- Top 14 of 85,000+ teams
- Proof system
- Groth16
- Token standard
- ERC-1155
How it works
- The camera takes the photo.
- A key rooted in the device's TPM signs it, so trust starts in the hardware.
- A Groth16 zero-knowledge proof anchors that signature on Ethereum as an ERC-1155.
- The evidence is stored on Filecoin and IPFS.
Speed
From capture to an on-chain check takes under a second.
Where it is
A working prototype in three forms: a clip that attaches to a phone, a hot-shoe module for cameras and a standalone camera. The code is public.
The standalone camera made the top 14 of 85,000+ teams at the Google Solution Challenge 2026.
I'm looking for pre-seed funding to take Veris further.
During my research internship at LPU I also contributed to a filed patent on hardware-anchored attestation for AI agent decisions.
