描述
ImmutableType restores trust in local journalism through blockchain infrastructure on Flow EVM Mainnet.
The Problem: "Fog of war" between local community reality and mass media portrayals. Journalists lack portable identity. Sources aren't verifiable. Local news economics broken.
Our Solution:
Transferable Identity NFTs - Journalists own their reputation. Progressive verification (Tier 0-4) via multiple pathways. Create profiles with 3 FLOW or 100+ BUFFAFLOW tokens. Full ERC-721 transferability with personal data reset.
On-Chain Source Verification - Bookmark NFTs create immutable citation records. Chrome extension imports existing research. Every URL becomes timestamped proof. Foundation for upcoming article publishing with verifiable sources.
Community Engagement - FROTH Daily Comic tournaments using sold-out MoonBuffaFLOW NFT collection. 98% gas-optimized contracts. Skill-based competition with real economic stakes. Daily tournaments build community around local culture (authentic Buffalo vocabulary).
Production Ready - All features live on Flow EVM Mainnet. First tournament completed successfully. Real users creating profiles, minting bookmarks, entering tournaments.
Building critical infrastructure for 20,000 American towns to restore community journalism economics.
