Elevator Pitch

Deepfaked voices and video calls are making fraud explode, and every trust signal assumed faking a human was expensive. Rebuild the internet's trust layer: verify a real human is on the other end, ideally without giving up privacy.

Full Description

In one case a finance worker wired out $25 million after a video call where everyone else was a deepfake.

The problem: Seeing a face or hearing a voice is no longer proof. We need a way to know there is a verified human behind a call, message or transaction, ideally one that preserves privacy.

Why it's big: Beyond stopping scams: social feeds without bots, dating apps where every match is real, reviews from real buyers. Whoever builds it becomes the layer every bank, app and video call checks before trusting anyone.
