Numbers Protocol is a decentralized network designed to establish trust and authenticity in digital media. Its primary mission is to address the challenges of misinformation and copyright infringement by creating a verifiable record of content provenance from creation to publication. It provides a transparent and immutable history for digital assets, including images, videos, and audio files.
At its core, Numbers Protocol offers a suite of tools and services for creators and developers. This includes the "Capture App," which allows users to register their digital creations, embedding them with unique identifiers and contextual metadata. The "Numbers Blockchain" serves as a specialized distributed ledger for indexing these assets and their histories. The protocol also features a "Verify Engine," a reverse-image search tool enhanced with AI, enabling users to trace the origin and modification history of digital media.
By leveraging blockchain technology and decentralized storage, including the Hedera blockchain network, Numbers Protocol enables users to create on-chain proof of their digital media, secure ownership, and track usage.

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.
