Launched as an evolution of the VIDT DAO project, our mission is to combat misinformation, deepfakes, and data tampering by providing immutable timestamping and verification tools powered by blockchain technology.

Our Core Technology

At the heart of VIDT Truth Machine is a seamless integration of cryptographic hashing (SHA-256) and the Solana blockchain, combined with AI-driven automation for content scraping and verification. Key features include:

• Manual and Automated Timestamping: Users can submit URLs for webpages, news articles, audit trails, legal documents, or social media posts. Our AI system also proactively scrapes the internet for noteworthy content, generating server-side PDFs and screenshots to capture unaltered publisher versions.

• Immutable Anchoring: Every piece of content is hashed and timestamped on Solana for high-speed, low-cost verification. For added resilience, we will implement periodic batch anchoring on alternative blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Dogecoin using Merkle roots.

• Social Media Integration: Tag @vidt_dao in X posts to trigger automatic timestamping, with replies containing verification links and hashes.

• API for Developers: A RESTful API will allow external platforms to integrate timestamping and verification services effortlessly.

• Community-Driven Accountability: Inspired by community notes systems, we empower users to promote transparency and hold publishers accountable.

This platform is the result of rigorous research and development, as detailed in our scientific paper "The VIDT Truth Machine: Ensuring Data Authenticity through SHA-256 Hashing and Solana Blockchain" (May 27, 2025).
