Turn 'Real' intoYour Digital Asset
In an era flooded with AI-generated content. A next-generation marketplace that proves 'reality' with C2PA hardware signatures and establishes unique 'digital ownership' and 'liquidity' on the blockchain.
The 'Crisis of Trust' in the AI Era and the Fading 'Value of Reality'
In 2024, the explosive spread of generative AI has made it possible for anyone to create 'lifelike' images in seconds. However, this has caused a serious problem: 'indistinguishability between reality and AI'.
Ironically, what is now becoming most valuable is 'unprocessed reality truly captured by a camera'.
RootLens combines hardware signatures from C2PA-compliant cameras with blockchain to properly evaluate and monetize this 'value of reality'.
Fusion of Two Technologies
Proof of authenticity with 'C2PA', management of rights and liquidity with 'Blockchain'. By combining their strengths, we build a complete foundation of trust.

Marketplace for Hardware Proof
The first place where value is found in 'being taken by a person who was really there' and compensation can be paid. For journalism, AI training data, legal evidence, etc.
Visualization and Liquidity of Ownership
By linking digital data ownership to a wallet, the location of rights is clarified. Furthermore, by turning it into an NFT, proven content can be traded as an asset.
