GoKawiilStartup CAIM1 builds prototype camera that cryptographically verifies photos
Camera maker CAIM1, founded by Josh Cowell, has built a prototype camera that embeds cryptographic proof of authenticity into each image using an internal chip from supplier Tropic Square. The chip generates a silicon fingerprint recording when, where, and with which device a photo was taken, linked to an anonymous blockchain signature for verification. CAIM1 expects to release a flagship version of the camera in the first quarter of 2027.
