PROOF OF PROCESS (PoP) PROTOCOLA cryptographic standard that converts real physical signals
into verifiable, immutable digital proofs.Real Work ➝ Real Signal ➝ Real ProofWHY PoP MATTERSHuman life, industry, creativity, and memory all share one foundation:
process.Every real moment in the physical world is a process.
Every process emits a signal.
Every signal carries structure, energy, intention, and context.Until now, these moments disappeared the instant they occurred.
They were impossible to verify, impossible to preserve,
and impossible to anchor in a trustless digital system.Proof of Process (PoP) changes this.PoP establishes a new category of verifiable data:
a cryptographic proof that a real physical moment occurred.A PoP has value because:- it originates from a real event,
- it cannot be recreated synthetically,
- it carries the physical signature of that exact moment,
- it cannot be forged or manipulated,
- it is permanently verifiable through hash and CID,
- it is authenticated through secure hardware (HSM).PoP does not store a picture, a sound, or a memory.
PoP stores the moment itself, mathematically encoded.This creates a new frontier of digital authenticity,
where mechanical actions, biological signals, artistic gestures,
daily life and industrial work can be captured, verified, preserved,
and shared — without trust, without interpretation,
and without intermediaries.PoP represents a fundamental shift:
from verifying information
to verifying reality.HOW PoP WORKSThe Proof of Process protocol operates through a six-stage
verification pipeline:1. Physical Process
A real physical event occurs.
Any measurable signal qualifies — motion, heat, touch, vibration,
mechanical activity, electrical waveform, acoustic energy,
or any analog process.2. Signal Capture
The raw physical signal is captured using any compliant
real-time data acquisition device.### 3. Mathematical Transformation
The recorded signal is normalized, structured, and transformed
into its canonical mathematical representation known as ARC-FIELD.4. PoP RAW ➝ HASH ➝ CID
The original data (PoP RAW) is hashed and stored via
content-addressed storage, producing a verifiable CID.5. Hardware Signature (HSM)
A secure hardware module signs the PoP MasterJSON,
providing tamper-proof cryptographic authentication.6. On-Chain Publication
The completed PoP artifact is written on-chain
as immutable evidence of a real physical moment.PoP SECURITY MODELPoP is unforgeable due to three independent layers of security:1. Physical Security
A PoP originates from real physical conditions.
No synthetic process can replicate the micro-structure
of genuine physical signals.2. Cryptographic Security
PoP RAW and ARC-FIELD are hashed and stored using
content-addressed data.
Any attempt to alter even a single bit invalidates verification.3. Hardware Security
The PoP MasterJSON is authenticated with a hardware signing module (HSM),
ensuring that the source, moment, and data cannot be tampered with.The combination of physics, cryptography, and hardware
makes PoP impossible to fake and permanent by design.PoP is currently in pre-release.
Full documentation and open-source reference modules are coming soon.
