The problem Proof solves

Firstly, the platform offers a safe and anonymous way for individuals to report misconduct, which can help in situations where people may feel intimidated or fear retaliation for speaking up. This can encourage more people to come forward with evidence, leading to more accountability for wrongdoings.

Secondly, the platform uses NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) to store evidence, which can provide unique ownership and authenticity to the content. This means that people can retain ownership of their evidence and trade it if they wish to do so.

Thirdly, the platform stores the evidence on-chain, meaning that it is recorded on a blockchain, which is decentralized and tamper-proof. This ensures that the evidence cannot be destroyed, altered, or lost, providing an additional layer of security.

Lastly, the platform can be used in a variety of industries, such as in the workplace, education, healthcare, or even government, where individuals may have witnessed misconduct but fear retaliation. The platform can help in situations where evidence is crucial for legal proceedings or investigations, but the individual does not feel safe to share the evidence publicly.

Overall, the platform can make existing tasks easier and safer for individuals who want to report misconduct while protecting their identity and their evidence. By providing a safe and secure way to report wrongdoing, the platform can empower more people to take a stand against misconduct and help bring about greater accountability

Challenges we ran into

One important decision we made when we were halfway through the project was to use standard NFT forms for the proof. This decision was critical because it allowed the proofs to be tradeable, and also because the NFT space is constantly improving, which would enable us to access and leverage new features and capabilities in the future. Another critical decision we made was to choose the right decentralized storage for the proofs. After evaluating several options, we decided to use Filecoin because it offers numerous free storage providers, making it easy for users to submit proofs without worrying about the cost. By leveraging the benefits of Filecoin and standard NFT forms, we were able to ensure that the platform was reliable, secure, and cost-effective, while also providing users with a smooth and streamlined experience.
