Activity and Proof of Capture

A set of rules will govern which missions are created and the specifications of that mission, the rewards associated with it, and instructions for the proof of capture uploading process. Pilots will interact with the activity protocol when performing missions, receiving rewards, and using tokens for potential features like mission reservation. This protocol will mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs) indicating submission, verification, and approval. Various applications, including third-party apps, can facilitate this interaction.

Blockchain technology underpins LayerDrone’s data verification system, ensuring that all captured imagery is authentic, traceable, and timestamped. Each image undergoes a proof of capture process, the results of which are verified against image metadata, time, and GPS location, which are stored immutably on the blockchain. This ensures data integrity and builds trust among buyers, who can be confident in the accuracy and reliability of the imagery they purchase from the LayerDrone Network.

When a pilot submits data, an on-chain receipt records a hash of metadata directly from the drone, including a timestamp of capture, a GPS location, and a file size that is taken directly from the capture app(s) that was directing the drone. These metadata are used to verify the actual image files submitted, to ensure pilots are not uploading invalid imagery.
