Cryptographic Image Provenance and Authenticity Layer

C6/10April 21, 2026
WhatAn embeddable SDK and browser extension that cryptographically signs images at capture time and verifies provenance, letting publishers and platforms distinguish real photographs from AI-generated content.
SignalCommenters acknowledge that AI-generated images are now terrifyingly realistic and that watermarking schemes like SynthID are insufficient — the consensus is that 'seeing is no longer believing' and no one has solved the trust problem from the capture side.
Why NowImage generation quality has crossed the photorealism threshold with GPT Image 2 and competitors, making deepfake detection urgent for media, legal evidence, and insurance claims — and C2PA/content credentials standards are just reaching adoption maturity.
MarketNews organizations, social platforms, legal/insurance firms, and governments; TAM is multi-billion as digital trust infrastructure. Competitors include C2PA consortium efforts and Truepic, but adoption is still nascent and fragmented.
MoatNetwork effects — the more cameras, devices, and platforms that adopt the signing standard, the more valuable verification becomes, creating a winner-take-most dynamic.
