Proofmode vs Real.Photos

Proofmode is a system that enables authentication and verification of multimedia content, particularly captured on a smartphone, from point of capture at the source to viewing by a recipient. It utilizes enhanced sensor-driven metadata, hardware fingerprinting, cryptographic signing, and third-party notaries to enable a pseudonymous, decentralized approach to the need for chain-of-custody and “proof” by both activists and everyday people alike. ProofMode is currently available as specifications, developer libraries and applications. We seek to expand its support for notarization and sharing of proof through decentralized storage technology. We believe in a future, where every camera will have a “Proof Mode” that can be enabled and every viewer an ability to trust what they are seeing. ProofMode supports the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authentication (C2PA) standard, Content Credentials and the Content Authenticity Initiative.

Real.Photos mobile app is the easiest way for photographers to take photos, mint them as nfts, and list them for sale. We've built an app exclusively for photographers. You take photos that are verified as real, not AI, at the point of capture. Each photo is certified with a 'proof of reality' stamp in the metadata along with the location and timestamp. Once minted, you can list photos for sale in the Real.Photos marketplace. Humanity is less than 2 years away from not being able to tell which photos are real and which aren't. And soon there will be be more AI generated content than human generated. Real.Photos is a way to push back against the blurring of reality that's coming. We hope you like it.
