what's Trustless Media?
Trustless Media is a blockchain-based media project pioneering "staked media," where creators and communities use staking mechanisms and cryptographic proofs to verify content authenticity in an era of AI-generated misinformation. It emphasizes self-sovereign, decentralized media ownership, moving away from centralized trust models toward transparent, tamper-proof systems. The project features community-owned outlets like Coinage Media, with membership NFTs granting access, participation, and potential governance. By integrating staking, it incentivizes truthful reporting through economic alignment, slashing stakes for falsehoods, and rewarding verified contributions on-chain.
