Stop asking "Is this fake?" Ask the right question "Is this verified?"

Every week there’s a new viral photo or video , and every week the same question follows it around:
“Wait, Is this even real?”
AI generation tools have gotten good enough that - visual proof the thing we’ve relied on for over a century isn’t proof of anything anymore.
The industry’s answer to this has mostly been deepfake detection: they build a model that scans content and tried to guess whether it’s fake. We think this approach has a structural flaw- it’s permanent arms race. Everytime detection gets better, generation gets better to beat it. You’re always one step behind.

I am excited to share @Vastavik with you today.
Vastavik starts from different approach, instead to asking “Is this Fake?”, we think the right question is “Is this verified?”
Rather than analyzing the content whether it’s fake or original. Vastavik let’s creator validate their content at the point of creation or upload, establishing an independent, tamper-evident record that the content is what the creator says it is, from that moment forward. It's proof of provenance, not a fraud-detection guess.
We're launching on Product Hunt soon. Following this thread gets you notified the moment we're live .

Would love to hear how this problem shows up for you, whether you're a creator, journalist, or just someone tired of not trusting what you see.
