Brian @ VYN

VYN anchors the provenance of photos, videos, and digital files to Algorand via dual ASA pairs. This gives journalists, creators, and artists a tamper-proof, publicly verifiable record of authorship and integrity that anyone can check themselves.

@i_mika_el My goal is to make it for artists first mainly just because I want to support the art community. But in terms of where it's most useful to have indelible timestamped proof, that might be OSINT journalism and the legal profession - wills, contracts, notarized documents.

@vynproof yes, the explanation makes total sense. who is you customer?

Adobe's Content Credentials live in your file. Strip the file, lose the proof. VYN puts your proof on the Algorand blockchain AND in the file. Two layers. One is convenient. The other is indestructible.

@_Vin_Artist_ I love these, you have such a unique style

Created these two pieces and am very pleased with them🤍

@i_mika_el very good points - I think the key thing Adobe doesn't do is tying the cryptography to a blockchain record so that there's an immutable timestamp. Without that someone else can copy the work, change the metadata and make their own Adobe CP2A version and you can't compare dates.

looks clean n polished, dark with good hierarchy, and the verified example card makes it feel concrete. the message leads with a feeling tho, takes a paragraph to get that its tamper-proof proof for media, and the target's mixed, tweet says artists but site says journalists/creators. solid idea n timely, real need, but adobe etc already here so it's down to distribution. the free + community angle is a smart way in.

@FlippedRay I like connecting with real people. But sometimes marketing feels like "selling", which I don't like.

As a founder do you actually enjoy marketing? - yes - absolutely not

@a1111ac011d0 these are beautiful!

@anupamrjp A free provenance tool for artists where they can also promote their work and connect with other artists. Not trying to monetize it, just trying to solve a real world problem. vynverify.com

Show me what you've been working on when nobody was watching. >Startup. >SaaS. >AI tool. >Side project. Let's see it 👇🚀

If you know artists who want a free provenance solution for their work, let me know. I'm happy to set them up and help them promote their gallery.

@aka_nuc Incredible detail! That's truly amazing work!

2時間10分くらいでマリーゴールドを描いたよ。

@DanielSmidstrup Right now it's very difficult to prove you created any digital asset. And even if you can, nobody who finds the asset online can be sure the data or metadata hasn't been modified. VYN solves both of these.

what painful problem does your product actually fix?

@pmitu Simple, secure, free proof of ownership of any digital asset. Digital receipts embedded in your files, and secured by dual layer blockchain records, allow anyone who gets them to verify they are yours and that nothing has changed since you made them. vynverify.com

Builders, pitch your product 👇 (a lot of smart VCs read my threads)

@mysteriouskat Maybe the things that set us apart as human need to be hard or else they wouldn't do so.

Why is writing so hard?

In addition to simple, secure provenance VYN offers you free cloud storage in your own private vault a public creator's pages for sharing your work. Prove the authenticity of your art, meet other artists, and promote your own gallery on VYN.

@AlgoFoundation Digital provenance backed by two-layer cryptographic seal on-chain Algorand is the most secure way to prove digital ownership of files
