How WITNESS works

  1. 01

    Create or discover a case

    Submit a suspicious claim, image, or video. It becomes a public case file with an ID and deadline.

  2. 02

    Community funding

    Support an investigation with SOL or $WITNESS. Holding the token is never required to participate.

  3. 03

    Evidence contributions

    Researchers trace origins, find earlier uploads, match images and archive sources on a public timeline.

  4. 04

    Solana verification

    Evidence hashes can be anchored on Solana. This proves record integrity and timing — not truth by itself.

  5. 05

    Rewards or refunds

    If solved, verified contributors split the full reward pool. If unsolved by the deadline, community funders can claim refunds.

  6. 06

    48-hour fee boosts

    Every 48 hours, 75% of $WITNESS creator fees go to the top trending eligible case. 25% supports platform operations.
