2025: The Year of Authenticity

A closer look at the key technological hurdles and milestones we are tackling in 2025.

Q1: The Security Layer

Our primary focus is the SHA-256 Hashing Engine. This isn't just a standard hash; it's integrated into the image processing pipeline to capture metadata at the exact moment of shutter release. This prevents "retrospective manipulation" where an image is altered before being hashed.

Q2: Mobile First

The Skeleton Key Mobile App is more than a wallet; it's a camera. By building our own camera interface, we can sign images with the device's unique hardware ID and the user's private key simultaneously. This creates a "Dual-Signature Proof" that is virtually impossible to forge.

Q3: Ecosystem Expansion

This phase focuses on growing the community and expanding creator tools. The Creator Dashboard will receive major upgrades with analytics, batch minting capabilities, and enhanced verification features.

Q4: Proof of Vision AI

In the final phase, we deploy our Curation AI. This AI doesn't just look for "pretty" photos; it analyzes the cryptographic signatures of millions of images to detect patterns of AI generation or deep-faking, providing a "Trust Score" for every creator on the platform.
