Witness · Paid Certificate

A pay-per-view lens for high-stakes reportage. No subscriptions or ads—just a direct, metered relationship between the witness and the audience. Privy handles the seamless signing; QUIP handles the instant attribution. Every 'look' is a transaction that funds the front lines. Paying 0.01 USDC over x402 returns a signed provenance certificate for the work.

One 0.01 USDC payment turns the photojournalism record into a signed certificate photographers can email, attach or archive — and the page proves who signed it without asking anyone to trust the server.
