Legal Evidence
Provides a timestamped, tamper-evident record that can support a chain of custody.
The Challenge
Legal teams struggle with video evidence admissibility. Courts need proof that videos haven't been tampered with, and establishing chain of custody is complex and time-consuming.
- •Proving video authenticity in court
- •Establishing chain of custody
- •Preventing video manipulation
- •Time-stamp verification
How Verity Helps
Verity provides a blockchain-anchored, tamper-evident record of each video. Every video is tamper-evident from upload: its SHA-256 hash is anchored permanently on the Soneium blockchain (location and device data stay off-chain).
- Blockchain-immutable proof
- Cryptographic timestamp verification
- Location and device data kept off-chain (opt-in)
- Timestamped record that can support a chain of custody
- Anyone can check it independently (admissibility is up to the court)
Use Cases
Crime Scene Documentation
Record crime scenes with blockchain verification. The on-chain record shows when the file was uploaded and that it hasn't been edited since upload.
Witness Testimony
Record witness statements with cryptographic proof. The on-chain hash shows the file is unchanged since it was uploaded.
Accident Documentation
Document accidents and incidents with a tamper-evident record. Insurance companies and courts can check the file is unchanged since upload.
Deposition Recording
Record depositions with blockchain proof. Any later tampering with the file is detectable; admissibility is up to the court.
