Building VYN — cryptographic proof your media is real, unaltered, and yours. For journalists, photographers, and artists.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

VYN anchors the provenance of photos, videos, and digital files to Algorand via dual ASA pairs. This gives journalists, creators, and artists a tamper-proof, publicly verifiable record of authorship and integrity that anyone can check themselves.

@AlgoFoundation @StaciW_DC @CFR_org It's all already built and free. Try it yourself and continue using it for free whenever you want.

@AlgoFoundation @StaciW_DC @CFR_org Algorand is poised to become the leader in digital asset security. It's the fastest, most reliable, and quantum-secure way to embed immutable cryptographic proof of ownership in any digital asset before making it public. A game changer for legal documents and OSINT.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

VYN gives you mathematically provable, legally defensible evidence of ownership and authenticity of any digital asset. If you think there's any chance that will ever become an issue, use VYN for free to secure your proof before you make the asset public.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@FlippedRay Building free, provable proof of authenticity for any digital asset.

For artists this mean you can prove you created it. For lawyers it means you can prove when legal documents were created and that they haven't changed.

@RoundtableSpace A way for lawyers to prove legal documents were created at an exact timestamp and the files and metadata haven't changed in any way since.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

For lawyers, one key benefit you can offer clients is an independently verifiable way to prove their legal documents haven't changed. With VYN they can prove the exact timestamp of the document and that not a byte of data has changed since then. And it's free.

@Cryptofly777 happy birthday, Linda!

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@i_mika_el My goal is to make it for artists first mainly just because I want to support the art community. But in terms of where it's most useful to have indelible timestamped proof, that might be OSINT journalism and the legal profession - wills, contracts, notarized documents.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

Adobe's Content Credentials live in your file. Strip the file, lose the proof. VYN puts your proof on the Algorand blockchain AND in the file. Two layers. One is convenient. The other is indestructible.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@_Vin_Artist_ I love these, you have such a unique style

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@i_mika_el very good points - I think the key thing Adobe doesn't do is tying the cryptography to a blockchain record so that there's an immutable timestamp. Without that someone else can copy the work, change the metadata and make their own Adobe CP2A version and you can't compare dates.

@FlippedRay I like connecting with real people. But sometimes marketing feels like "selling", which I don't like.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@a1111ac011d0 these are beautiful!

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@anupamrjp A free provenance tool for artists where they can also promote their work and connect with other artists. Not trying to monetize it, just trying to solve a real world problem.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

If you know artists who want a free provenance solution for their work, let me know. I'm happy to set them up and help them promote their gallery.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@aka_nuc Incredible detail! That's truly amazing work!

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@DanielSmidstrup Right now it's very difficult to prove you created any digital asset. And even if you can, nobody who finds the asset online can be sure the data or metadata hasn't been modified. VYN solves both of these.

[Brian @ VYN @vynproof]

@pmitu Simple, secure, free proof of ownership of any digital asset. Digital receipts embedded in your files, and secured by dual layer blockchain records, allow anyone who gets them to verify they are yours and that nothing has changed since you made them.
