ProofMode at DWebCamp 2023: Camp Navarro Baseline Challenge
20 June 2023
This year at DWebCamp 2023, we are excited to bring our ProofCorps Baseline effort into the stream of fun and interesting activities. Through the Camp Navarro Baseline Challenge, we will be exploring the ideas of decentralized provenance and authentication in visual documentation. Participants will use the ProofMode app to take pictures and videos documentation the natural and human-inspired beauty of the camp and surrounding nature. Once the “proof” is captured, it can be shared locally to an off-grid ButterBox microserver. Most importantly, there will be prizes.
Keep an eye out for the cards, signs, and stickers shown below, and find the ProofMode team (Carrie, Jack, John and Tiff!) at camp.
Pause to document the ever-changing natural majesty of Camp Navarro. Capture verifiable proof of all things big and small. The feeling of majesty and fascination of the intricate details of nature and the history of human creativity.
Submit your 10 best shots taken this week in the redwoods.
All photos must be verifiable. Use the ProofMode app to take your pictures.
- Two awards will be given.
- Most beautiful verified photo
- Most unlikely to be found in a Google search
- All photos must be verified
How to submit your photos
Upload them to IPFS through a Butter Box. Once you’ve captured your shots with ProofMode, upload them to one of the Butter Boxes located around the camp with a Story Challenge poster next to it.
