What we're building

A living archive the world can search, and the community defends.

Not another timeline. Not another blog. This is history with receipts — submissions, reviews, provenance, and accountability, all visible.

Searchable
Verified
Provenance-tracked
Community-governed
Search first, not buried in menus
Type a name, place, event, or tag. Results show media, context, and full provenance at a glance.
Community review decides what enters the archive
Artifacts arrive as proposals. Members vote during a 7-day window. Approved items go to expert review, then become public.
Experts verify with on-chain proof
Expert approval triggers IPFS pinning and blockchain anchoring. The artifact becomes permanent and tamper-proof.
Flags keep it honest
Members can flag misinformation or copyright issues. Flagged items are reviewed and hidden if the concern is upheld.

People discover something, add context, verify it, and link it to more history. The archive grows fast, but stays trusted.

Trust you can inspect

Every result comes with provenance, not vibes.

The archive shows where an artifact came from, how it was approved, and what changed over time. If something is wrong, the community can flag it for review.

Governance & roles

The archive is public. The power is distributed.

Contributors submit. Members vote. Experts verify. No single gatekeeper controls what enters the archive.

Contributor
Submits artifacts through proposals. More approvals build reputation.
Member
Searches the archive, votes on proposals, and can flag questionable entries.
Expert
Verified by the DAO. Reviews artifacts and triggers on-chain verification.
Admin
Manages roles, oversees the archive, and can manually trigger pinning or anchoring.
MVP focus
Governance is lightweight for now: proposal creation, community voting, expert review, and flag resolution. Token-weighted governance comes later.

Help preserve history that deserves to be permanent.

Explore the archive, contribute new artifacts, or help verify the stories that shape our shared history.
