ChronoSnaps
Ephemeral content, while fun, leaves no lasting impression or verifiable record. Historical accuracy is easily distorted online due to manipulated images and fabricated narratives.

6 monthsAd-supported platform displaying location-relevant ads on expired Snaps, premium ChronoSnap storage and longer "lock" durations for users, and a 'ChronoToken' which allows users to unlock early access to snaps or 'boost' their snap to make it more visible.

The Solution

ChronoSnaps allows users to create location-tagged photos and short videos, but with a twist: each "Snap" is cryptographically timestamped on a decentralized ledger and "locked" after a predetermined duration chosen by the user (ranging from days to decades). Once locked, the Snap becomes immutable and publicly viewable only after the timer expires, providing a verifiable snapshot of a place in time.

Confidential Investment MemoAmerican Visionary

"Look, the metaverse isn't just about VR headsets; it's about building a living, breathing, and VERIFIABLE history of the physical world! ChronoSnaps is essentially creating a decentralized, crowd-sourced Library of Alexandria, but with photos and videos! We're talking about a multi-billion dollar TAM, capturing the essence of human experience, and leaving a legacy for future generations. Think about it - the future of historical archives is in the hands of everyday people. I'm in!"
