What is Proof of Location

A decentralized proof of geolocation that validates the geographical location of devices connected to the Internet without requiring trust in centralized authorities.

Decentralized Verification

Location claims are verified through a distributed network of EigenLayer operators using Witness Chain's Proof of Location protocol.

Cryptographic Security

Tamper-proof location attestations using advanced cryptographic techniques and blockchain technology for immutable records.

Crypto-economic Security

EigenLayer operators stake to ensure honest behavior. False location claims incur slashing, ensuring a robust, trust-minimized system via cryptoeconomic guarantees.

How Proof of Location Works

Our decentralized challenge system ensures trust-free location verification through a multi-step process involving smart contracts, challenge coordinators, and distributed challengers.

Challenge Process Flow

The complete lifecycle of a Proof of Location challenge from initiation to completion

Proof of Location Challenge Process Flow Diagram
1

Challenge Initiation

User submits location challenge request to smart contract, which generates a unique challenge ID

2

Challenger Selection

Challenge coordinator selects distributed challengers from the pool and initiates the verification process

3

Ping & Response

Prover sends pings to selected challengers, who respond with timing data for distance calculation

4

Result Aggregation

Estimator service processes delay data and calculates final location verification results
