Why Base?

Why Base?
Base is a Layer 2 that offers cheap and fast transactions

Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 built by Coinbase that offers fast, cheap, and secure transactions. Trueshot uses Base to make photo verification accessible to everyone, not just crypto natives.

As AI-generated content explodes, the demand for proving a photo is real is growing fast. NFTs are the mechanism, but the use case goes far beyond digital art collecting.

Why Base specifically?

Security - Base inherits Ethereum's security model while handling transactions at a fraction of the cost.

Low fees - Minting a Trueshot costs virtually nothing. No barrier to entry.

Ecosystem - Base has strong developer tools and a growing user base, making it the right foundation to scale on.

Trueshot on Base

Trueshot addresses a specific problem: proving a photo hasn't been tampered with. By minting verified photos as NFTs on Base, we create permanent, on-chain proof of authenticity with fast confirmation times and minimal cost.

Beyond crypto

Most people don't care about NFTs as collectibles. But they do care about trust. Journalists, insurers, legal professionals, and everyday people all need ways to prove an image is real. Trueshot on Base makes that possible without requiring users to understand blockchain at all.
