Prove the survey. Keep the map.

- Exact coordinates and the flight path
- The identity of the capturing device
- Raw imagery and sensor data
- Who bought which slice, and when
- The region covered
- The month of capture
- The resolution, as an upper bound
- That the verifier's verdict passed, designed to be verified in-circuit
The problem, as they feel it
A buyer of aerial survey data needs to know what was captured, when, at what resolution, and by a device that was not tampered with. The owner of that data does not want to hand over the flight path, the exact coordinates or the raw imagery to prove it. And neither side wants a permanent record of who bought which slice.

The approach, as designed: acquire, accredit, prove
- 01Signed at captureThe device's secure element signs every byte as it is captured. A tampered pixel breaks the seal.
- 02Verified once, then anchoredAn attestation-gated verifier runs every check off-chain and compresses the result into one verdict the chain can verify.
- 03Proved on MidnightThe owner produces one selective-disclosure proof carrying the public record and nothing else.
- 04Bought without a traceBuyers hold no account. Each purchase is a fresh shielded coin and a fresh secret.
Each step is done by the party best placed to do it, and each leaves behind something the next step can check without repeating the work. The expensive verification happens once, off-chain; the chain only checks a verdict, and a buyer only sees a card.
What a buyer receives
The card. Region, month of capture, resolution as an upper bound, and the fact that every check passed. Coordinates and the device stay shielded and stay provable: the buyer can verify the claim without ever seeing what backs it. Reveal only a card. Negotiate the rest.
Where it stands
Presented at the cohort's pitch day and live at zkyproof.eddalabs.io, not yet wired to Midnight. The mockup lists a storm-damage roof survey with its public record on paper and everything else shielded; the same design carries any survey where the buyer needs certainty and the owner needs to keep the map. The build is the next step.

The first step is a conversation, and often a spec and a mockup for your case before anything is built.
