HARDWARE-ATTESTED PROTOCOL

Proof of Effort

Imagine a fitness competition with 1 million+ participants where no one can cheat — no cameras, no expensive TV sets, no referees. Just your Apple Watch and cryptographic proof.

Four Layers of Trust

Cross-validated verification where no layer can be compromised without detection by the others

🌐

Proof of Humanity

World ID ZK-proofs ensure each account maps to a unique human, eliminating Sybil attacks and bot farms

⌚

Proof of Life

Apple Watch sensors validate real-time physiological data (HR, HRV) from a biological body

📸

Proof of Identity

Computer vision correlates silhouette and body proportions to confirm the registered user is exercising

🎥

Proof of Presence

Timestamp sync across Apple Watch, iPhone video, and backend prevents pre-recorded or injected data

Proof Epochs

The minimum unit of trust: a 256-byte data packet generated every 60 seconds during a workout.

  • Secure Enclave — Private keys generated inside Apple Watch's isolated coprocessor. The key never leaves the hardware.
  • ECDSA-P256 — Each epoch is signed with ECDSA-P256. Backend verifies with the registered public key.
  • 256-byte payload — Biometric hash, accelerometer FFT vector, geolocation, timestamp, monotonic sequence number (replay-attack proof).

On-Device AI

Privacy-first edge computing. All heavy processing runs on the user's device.

  • Gait Analysis (ResNet) — Neural network identifies movement fingerprint via 100Hz accelerometer data.
  • YOLO-World + DeepHeightWeight — iPhone neural engine runs real-time body estimation: height ±3cm, weight ±2kg.
  • HR-Motion Correlation — Validates that accelerometer intensity matches heart rate response, detecting mechanical shakers.

Dual-Chain Architecture

Optimized for cost, speed, and identity integrity.

World Chain Identity Layer 1 human = 1 account ZK-Proof
  • Solana — Sub-second finality, $0.00025/tx. SPL token ($EFFORT) reward distribution layer.
  • World Chain — Identity layer preventing multi-account operation by the same person.
  • Deflationary Burns — Enterprises (insurers, pharma) buy verified data access, burning tokens per query.

Privacy & Compliance

GDPR & HIPAA compliant by design. No raw biometric data stored on servers.

AES-256-GCM Data at rest
TLS 1.3 Data in transit
ZK-Proof Identity without exposure
No raw data Hashes only on server
  • AES-256-GCM — Data at rest encryption. Only hashes and attestation certificates stored server-side.
  • TLS 1.3 — All data in transit encrypted with latest transport security standard.
  • Zero-Knowledge — World ID proves humanity without revealing personal identity. Full privacy preservation.

TECHNICAL WHITEPAPER

Protocol Overview

A deep dive into the architecture behind Proof of Effort

01

The Problem

Move-to-earn collapsed because of Sybil attacks, GPS spoofing, and Ponzi tokenomics. Beast Games spent $100M+ on physical verification. There's no scalable anti-cheat for fitness.

02

Architecture

Four cryptographic layers — World ID (humanity), Secure Enclave (life), body photo correlation (identity), and video tracking (presence) — compose a single Proof Epoch signed on-device.

03

DePIN Model

Unlike STEPN's reflexive loop, $EFFORT is backed by real enterprise demand: corporate wellness, insurance providers, and competition platforms pay for verified fitness data.

04

Anti-Cheat

Hardware-signed biometrics from Apple Watch Secure Enclave make data spoofing computationally infeasible. Each workout generates a cryptographic proof verifiable on-chain.
