Provineer

Provineer is built to give all creatives the ability to authenticate the provenance of their work, anytime, anywhere, whether they share, sell or post it online.

Using the immutability of Flow blockchain and the ease of drag and drop, each Provineer asset is bundled with its working files, creating a transparent and verifiable workflow, authenticating the asset and tying it to the user via recorded metadata and e-signature.

Users can add additional versions to each asset, like a link in a chain, growing larger and more secure in the process. Think first, second and third drafts that come together to create a novel. 

Each Provineer asset is backed by a unique digital hash and live e-certificate which can be used for IRL and URL assets, linking back to the blockchain asset for easy verification.

Whether you are a designer looking to authenticate the provenance of your work for your audience, record and store the precise workflow files used to create an asset, communicate your design process for full transparency, protect your work before sharing, selling or posting online or simply recording it for posterity and later access, Provineer is built to handle all of the above. 

Current milestones: partnership with Flow blockchain, raising seed round via Flow Ecosystem Fund, MVP live on testnet, dev team in place, trademarks registering, self-funded and set to launch September 2022 with additional features in 2023.
