Octet

Verify reality by turning movement into truth.

[Alex Pruden @apruden08]

Congrats to the @OctetProof team!

In a world of increasingly sophisticated adversaries, ironclad authentication factors (like proof-of-location) are going to become not just a nice-to-have, but a need-to-have for robust security, starting with high-value applications e.g. fintech/blockchains.

@dcbuilder ohhhh this is so cool,
people underestimate how many applications and QoL this can bring

I hope Apple integrates something like Secure Enclave attested locations.

@ottnaj @wschwab_ no beacons, so no infrastructure to deploy. The phone builds up an understanding of where it is from the signals already around it and then signs that into a proof. All that compute runs on-device.

1/ Today we’re launching Octet. We've been able to prove when something happened since the 1950s. We've not been able to prove where. Apps ask for location two trillion times a day and trust whatever the phone says. Octet is proof of where.

[Alien @alienorg]

@OctetProof we figured out proof of when in the 1950s, proof of where just showed up

@0xmigi Today the SDK proves presence in a given US state or a given country. The open-source policies cover common screens: ex-US, ex-Singapore, sanctioned jurisdictions. Resolution tightens in upcoming releases.

Provable location is a new primitive.

Privacy-preserving proof of where a device is—not just IP address.

What's the first product you'd build?

- Regulated trading (prediction markets, crypto)
- Proof of observation (real-world data collection)
- Location-based games
- Something else?

(@octetproof just shipped an SDK for iOS and Android: https://t.co/mHK01ZHkNx)

@wschwab_ love what FOAM built. Octet is a new project. Our SDK runs on your phone, does compute locally to learn from a wide variety of signals, and ships a proof.

8/ Every era trades trust for proof. HTTP became HTTPS, the magnetic stripe became the EMV chip, the passport got a chip, and each time fraud got expensive the friction fell away. Location is next, because you can only be in one place at a time. SDK live for iOS and Android, verifier open source so anyone can check a proof without asking us. Build with ground truth → https://t.co/3bjY25Ats3

7/ Fraud is the same shape. Tie the withdrawal, the transfer, the trade to a proof of the right device in the right place. The attacker is on another machine in another city, so the proof doesn't form. The credential still checks out. The location doesn't.

Are you hype, or do you do hype? Prove it.

Octet is hiring a founding hype lead. Someone to wake people up.

The digital world is adrift in its own self-service loop. Pixels proving pixels. Trust broke. Fraud filled the vacuum. Trillions gone.

Enough.

Octet brings skin and ground back into the system. Real-world verification. On-device. Cryptographic.

The foundation for DeFi, prediction markets and everything slower, dumber and more fragile because it's impossible to get down to ground-truth.

This is narrative warfare. Lenin built a vanguard before he built a state. We're building ours.

We're Marina Abramović, not paint by numbers.

Build obsession. Catalyze revolution. Forge alliances.

London. £45–60K + meaningful equity.

Reply with the post you'd write to launch us.

Hammer your stake into the ground. Provoke the people. Be dangerous.

Where are you? #proveit

You can only be in one place.
