TrueLens · Paid Certificate

A pay-per-seal protocol for photographers. Instead of a subscription, users pay only for 'Truth-as-a-Service,' generating a cryptographically verifiable 'Proof of Origin' receipt. Protect your IP and verify reality in an era of Deepfakes, one cent at a time. Paying 0.01 USDC over x402 returns a signed provenance certificate for the work.

The primitive.

One 0.01 USDC payment turns the image authenticity 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.

Why this primitiveLoading details…

Kernel
a 0.01 USDC payment over x402 that returns a relayer-signed provenance certificate over the WOTS+ head — a portable document anyone can verify without trusting the issuer
Drives the UI as
a certificate card with the signed fields, the issuing signer, and a 'recover signer' check that runs in the browser
