Why We Built This
In an era where AI can generate photorealistic video from a text prompt, how do you prove a moment actually happened? The GNARS1 camcorder embeds a secure element chip directly into the recording pipeline, cryptographically signing your frames at the point of capture.
No post-processing. 100% gnarly. Trustless, tamper-proof footage anyone can verify on-chain ⌐◨-◨.
