In an era where generative AI and sophisticated digital manipulation tools have made content falsification increasingly accessible, the need for reliable verification mechanisms has never been more critical. ProofLayer addresses this growing challenge by providing a decentralized, cryptographic verification protocol that enables trustworthy authentication of digital content without relying on centralized authorities.
This white paper presents ProofLayer's technical architecture, use cases, and implementation strategy. By leveraging blockchain technology, IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), and cryptographic hashing, ProofLayer creates an immutable record of digital content that can be verified independently of platform, jurisdiction, or central authority.
ProofLayer is positioned as essential digital infrastructure for an AI-native world, enabling organizations and individuals to establish and verify the provenance, authenticity, and integrity of any digital asset.
