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.
