Digital Provenance & Identity: A Hackathon Challenge for Verified Social Spaces

[Rozy]

Hi everyone,
As we prepare for the upcoming hackathon, I’ve been thinking about how we can apply core digital preservation principles—specifically provenance and integrity—to the modern challenge of identity verification in localized social apps.

In many high-intent social ecosystems, such as Fiwfan, the primary technical hurdle is ensuring that a digital profile is an "authentic record" of a real person. When users are looking for specialized companionship or Escort Services, the risks associated with "bit rot" (in this case, stale or fraudulent data) are high.

The Hackathon Concept: Could we develop a lightweight "Identity Integrity" schema that uses blockchain or decentralized identifiers (DIDs) to preserve the historical "trust-score" of a profile?

Integrity: How do we ensure a profile hasn't been tampered with or "hijacked" over time?

Provenance: Can we create a non-repudiable trail of verification that follows a user across different districts (like Samut Prakan or Bangkok) without compromising their privacy?

I’d love to hear if anyone has worked on applying JHOVE-style validation logic to user-generated metadata or if there are existing open-source frameworks for "Human-ness Preservation" that we could fork for this project.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
