Provenant Research focuses on tech that enables humans to interact verifiably. We think that clear data provenance (knowing the origin of data) is critical for such verification – settling for intermediary “attestations” from centralized providers inherently undercuts the premise of decentralization. Unfortunately, data verified not at the origin but by a non-transparent trusted attester is the only verification style that exists in production in the zk space right now. We support projects that provide more privacy and intimacy in our internet lives, either by securely storing and selectively revealing personal data.
