Happy to announce we've been accepted to the Consumer Crypto Grants by Thrive Polygon at Polygon Labs . Just getting started... ▓▓??????????? Follow us for more updates! X: https://lnkd.in/gsduAtw4

?? 1/5 We’re thrilled to announce the release of the Maya Protocol litepaper. Let’s dive into our vision for the authenticity layer of the Internet ?? Litepaper: https://lnkd.in/g9mr9Z3E ?? 2/6 It has become increasingly difficult to verify the authenticity of media content. Existing solutions like AI detection are often unreliable and cryptographic attestations rely too heavily on the reputation of the signer. We need a better way to ensure trust in digital content ?? ?? 3/6 Maya Protocol tackles the problem of distinguishing real from synthetic media. Combining advanced cryptographic techniques and a reputation-based system, the protocol provides trustless media verification ?? ?? 4/6 Our integration with Eigen Labs AVS and a custom rollup chain on Ethereum creates a robust infrastructure for internet-scale media verification. ZK provides verifiable integrity, while protocol participants have an on-chain reputation score cryptographically linked to an off-chain provable identity (such as X IDs) ?? ?? 5/6 From safeguarding creators’ reputations to ensuring legal compliance for AI systems, Maya Protocol addresses the evolving needs of the digital age. It offers a robust foundation for combating AI-deepfakes, ensuring every story told, every picture shared and every voice heard is genuine. ?? ?? 6/6 Read the litepaper and let us know your thoughts!

Thank you Ed Frost for the spotlight on #AbsolutelyZeroKnowledge! Abhishek Kumar (xenowits.eth) and Dhruv Bodani did a fantastic job explaining how the Maya Protocol uses #zkp to fight misinformation and AI-Generated Content. We're excited to see more users join our Testnet (https://lnkd.in/gSKgapN2) and contribute to a trustworthy digital future. Together, let’s ensure that every story told, every picture shared, and every voice heard is genuine. Let's make a difference together! #MayaProtocol #MediaAuthenticity

1/ We're thrilled to introduce the Maya ZK Editor, an innovative tool designed to authenticate and verify digital media with unparalleled precision. ????This launch marks the beginning of our first testnet program, Pratham ?? Dive into our thread to discover how we’re reshaping the future of digital content integrity and combating AI-generated deepfakes! ????? 2/ What exactly is the Maya ZK Editor??? It's our latest prototype, a media editor that leverages Zero Knowledge proofs to ensure the authenticity of your digital content. Starting with images and soon expanding to audio, it demonstrates how ZK technology can secure media authenticity by allowing you to certify your content. ??????? 3/ Step 1: Register an Image ??? Begin by registering your image with the Maya protocol. This adds a unique, verifiable signature that confirms your content's authenticity and secures your ownership right from the start. ??Secure and simple ? 4/ Step 2: Trusted Edits ?? Each edit you make, be it cropping or applying filters, generates a Zero Knowledge proof ???. These proofs can be quickly verified to guarantee the authenticity of each modification, tracing all changes back to the original. ???? 5/ Step 3: Share with Assurance Post-editing, generate a verification link for your final edited image ??. This allows anyone, including your friends and followers, to verify its authenticity through a simple click—perfect for sharing on social media or professional galleries. ???? 6/ A huge shoutout to Sindri for providing the robust ZK proving infrastructure that powers our ZK editor. Watch this space—support for audio files is on the way! ???? Want to be part of our testnet? Fill out this form: https://lnkd.in/gSKgapN2. We'll review submissions and keep you posted. ???? Meanwhile, join the conversation on our Discord: https://lnkd.in/gC6dTqAV ????? Twitter announcement post: https://lnkd.in/gKUJvUsE Onward ???? #MayaProtocol #DigitalAuthenticity #zk #C2PA

The Maya team had an amazing time at #zksummit in the beautiful city of Athens, Greece ???? ??? Here are some key takeaways from our discussions: Hardware ? It is clear that hardware acceleration is crucial for scaling ZKPs for media authenticity ? We discussed how we could enhance our ZK-Prover by using Ingonyama - Zero Knowledge Proof Hardware Acceleration 's hardware acceleration libraries to significantly improve our generation of ZK-Proofs for image transformations ? A talk by Hamid Salehi from AMD highlighted developments in building FPGAs for further acceleration Privacy Preserving ? Privacy is an important feature of the Maya Protocol, as users often prefer not to reveal the original media (e.g; images) ? We discussed potential solutions with various teams, including using TEEs (@MarlinProtocol ) and MPC (@TACEO_IO ). ? FHE (Zama ) could also be an alternative, however it would be prohibitively expensive Client Side Proving ? Client-side proving was also a topic of discussion as we explored what it would take to generate proofs on consumer hardware, including mobile devices and browsers. ? Polygon Labs is working on Polygon Miden and StarkWare also released their new STWO proof system ZKML ? Additionally, techniques in #zkML can also be quite useful for Maya as #zkML systems handle floating-point operations and compute privacy efficiently And, that’s a wrap! Thank you all for sharing ideas and feedback; we really appreciate it. See you folks next time! #MayaProtocol #MediaAuthenticity #ZKP #zk Event: ZK Summit (https://www.zksummit.com/)

Absolutely thrilled to share that we have been accepted as a member of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) ! This marks a significant milestone in our journey towards redefining digital media authenticity. ?? At Maya Labs, we're pioneering a decentralized protocol to ensure the authenticity of digital media content to combat misinformation and AI-generated deepfakes. Leveraging the power of advanced cryptographic techniques like Zero Knowledge Proofs, we aim to establish a new standard in content trustworthiness. ???? We want to set the stage for a future where authenticity of media is transparent, verifiable, and openly accessible. ???? #ContentAuthenticity #MayaProtocol #Deepfakes

One step at a time ?? Really proud to announce this partnership Onward!

We are excited to join the Content Authenticity Initiative ?? Our goal is to revolutionize digital media authenticity with the Maya Protocol using advanced cryptographic primitives like Zero Knowledge (ZK) proofs. Together, we're setting new standards for trust and transparency in the digital world. Let's make the digital ecosystem a safer place for all. #DigitalTrust #MayaProtocol #Authenticity

?? Excited to share our latest insights on Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and their pivotal role in securing digital media authenticity in the age of AI and deepfakes. ZKPs offer a promising solution to ensure the integrity of media content from capture to edits, all while prioritizing privacy. ?? Dive deeper into our full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/gyjEqhCM ?? Key Highlights: Privacy First: ZKPs allow for authenticity verification without exposing the original content. Trustless Verification: Say goodbye to third-party dependencies for proving authenticity. ?? While ZKPs mark a significant advancement in securing digital media, challenges remain, especially in optimizing performance for large images and extending these proofs to video content. ?? We're committed to fostering a future where distinguishing between genuine and fabricated content is straightforward. We welcome your insights and feedback to drive this vision forward! #ZeroKnowledge #MediaAuthenticity #AI #AIxCrypto #ZKPs
