Veris
Web3 camera hardware that proves a photo is real
Built by Aditya Dutt Pandey · veris.live
Veris is a Web3 camera system that proves a photo is real. Each camera carries a unique ed25519 identity derived from its own hardware, and signs every image at the moment of capture. The veris Anchor program on Solana verifies that signature on-chain — via a native ed25519 signature-verify instruction checked through instruction introspection — before minting a PhotoRecord, a PDA seeded by the image hash so the same image can never be recorded twice. Photos are stored permanently on Filecoin (via Lighthouse), and a QR-code claim flow lets people in the photo or event attendees mint capped editions straight to their own wallets — proof of authenticity, proof of attendance, and creator monetization in one device. Built by Aditya Dutt Pandey with Rust, Anchor, Python/Kivy on Raspberry Pi, and Node.js.
