VlogProof · x402

An instant proof-of-authenticity engine for mobile videographers. Instead of bulk minting, creators pay 0.01 USDC to cryptographically timestamp and anchor a video hash to Base at the moment of capture. This generates a verifiable 'Proof of Origin' badge, turning every shot into a tamper-proof asset that prevents unauthorized AI cloning or deepfake re-uploads. Payment is the trigger for truth.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the content authenticity engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so videographers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveBy moving from high-friction NFT minting to a 0.01 USDC x402 micro-transaction, the app scales with the volume of raw footage. It transforms metadata anchoring into a high-utility commodity for journalists and high-stakes creators.
