Starling Lab for Data Integrity is an academic research center that operates at the intersection of cryptography, decentralized web protocols, and the humanities. A joint initiative between the USC Shoah Foundation and Stanford University's Department of Electrical Engineering, the lab's mission is to develop and prototype tools and principles to establish trust in digital records. In an era of rampant misinformation and AI-generated content, Starling Lab is pioneering new methods to securely capture, store, and verify digital media.
The core of their work is the Starling Framework for Data Integrity, a comprehensive, open-source methodology for authenticating digital content. This framework is built on three pillars: Capture, which involves creating a chain of custody from the moment a photo or video is taken, Store, which uses decentralized networks like IPFS and Filecoin to securely distribute and preserve content, and Verify, which leverages immutable ledgers to register and audit the provenance of digital assets. This end-to-end approach has been applied in various real-world scenarios, from documenting the 78 days of the 2020 U.S. presidential transition with Reuters to preserving the USC Shoah Foundation's archive of 55,000 holocaust testimonies.

Tolam Earth is a Web3 marketplace and data utility platform engineered to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and credibility of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). Launched as a joint venture with backing from the HBAR Foundation, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Object Computing, Tolam directly addresses critical market challenges such as price opacity, illiquidity, and concerns over the integrity of carbon credits.
Built on the Hedera network, the platform provides a marketplace for corporate buyers and carbon project developers to transact in Digital Environmental Assets (DEAs). It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to represent carbon credits as unique tokens and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a publicly verifiable and immutable audit trail for all transactions and credit retirements. This ensures a high degree of trust and transparency for all participants.
A core component of the platform is its "mitigation engine," which employs sophisticated matching algorithms. This engine helps corporate buyers discover and purchase carbon offsets that align precisely with their specific Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, considering factors like project type, geographical location, and additional community or biodiversity co-benefits.
