Why Carmentis: Restoring trust in the digital economy

With digital transactions becoming increasingly vulnerable to manipulation, the global demand for secure, decentralized and verifiable solutions is critical. Carmentis meets this need by offering a platform that ensures data integrity and privacy. The World Economic Forum ranks digital fraud as a top global risk, with deepfake fraud attempts increasing 31-fold in 2023 alone. The Carmentis platform targets sectors heavily impacted by data fraud, including finance, logistics, and digital content, representing a multi-billion-dollar market.

Solution: Proofkeeping made easy

Carmentis is a blockchain-based data integrity solution that digitally fingerprints data sources and securely records them on a private, permissioned ledger (micro-blockchain) as authenticated proof of origin, providing verifiable data integrity proof for all parties in transactions.

Whether it be digital records, videos, files, social media posts, communications or payment records, Carmentis definitively proves the existence of the data in its original form and cannot be tampered with or altered after the fact.

Service operating companies pay transaction fees (in CMTS) to use the platform, while Carmentis validator nodes earn these fees through a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) distribution model. Validators must stake CMTS to operate.

Each ledger record is anchored in the blockchain, either publicly or privately. Public records are openly verifiable, while private records are accessible only by authorised parties, with privacy ensured through end-to-end encryption.

Carmentis open infrastructure to connects multiple sources of truth called oracles to certify the existence and authenticity of original data (ID bank records,...) that can be used by operating companies in their data workflow.

Getting started

Discover Carmentis demo application as a user

Download your wallet and discover our plateform using our demo applications.

Discover Carmentis as a service operator or an application developer

Note: You need to install and configure your wallet before you run the tutorials.

For a smooth landing, Carmentis provides an already-configured environment called a sandbox. It as a development environment managed by Carmentis, which is useful to develop your own application in the development phase. In the first tutorial, we guide you to create your first sandbox sandbox, containing a pre-configured demo application.

Once you are ready to develop your own application and put it in production, you will need to run your own self-sovereign service operator. To guide you through this crucial step, we provide you a second tutorial to link your freshly written and ready-to-deploy application with your service operator.

Participate in the Carmentis network as a token holder or a node validator

As any blockchain-based solution, Carmentis is built over a distributed ledger, whose the security depends on the number of participants in the network. Be part of the Carmentis network by deploying a replication node in a minute, by following our guide, and turn your node as validator node to be remunerated!
