Inspiration
We kept asking a simple question: why is trust still manual in a digital world?
Resumes can be faked. Sustainability claims can be exaggerated. Impact reports can be edited.
In a world where AI can recognize faces, detect diseases, and drive cars, we still rely on self-reported proof for the most important things — skills, impact, and integrity.
VERIXA was inspired by this gap. We imagined a future where actions speak louder than documents, where AI verifies reality, and where blockchain preserves truth. Not another app — but a trust infrastructure for the digital age.
What it does
VERIXA is an AI + Blockchain platform that verifies real-world actions and converts them into immutable digital proof.
Users submit actions such as completing a skill task or demonstrating a sustainability activity. AI models verify the authenticity and confidence of the action. Once verified, the proof is recorded on blockchain as an Impact NFT, contributing to a dynamic Impact Score that expires and revalidates over time.
If AI can’t verify it, VERIXA doesn’t record it.
How we built it
We designed VERIXA as a modular, scalable platform:
- Frontend: React-based interface with a clean, trust-focused UX
- Backend: Python + FastAPI for verification workflows
- AI Layer: Computer vision and evaluation models for action verification
- Blockchain: Smart contracts on testnet to mint Impact NFTs
- Storage: IPFS for immutable metadata
- Cloud: Deployed using scalable cloud infrastructure
Every component was built with startup-readiness and clarity in mind.
Challenges we ran into
- Designing AI verification that feels credible, not gimmicky
- Balancing technical depth with a simple demo judges could instantly understand
- Connecting AI outputs meaningfully to blockchain proofs
- Creating a system that avoids one-time “proof farming” by introducing expiry and revalidation
Each challenge pushed us to simplify without losing substance.
Accomplishments that we’re proud of
- Built a functional end-to-end verification flow
- Successfully linked AI confidence scores to on-chain proof
- Designed a dynamic Impact Score instead of static credentials
- Created a demo that clearly shows real-world scalability
- Delivered a product that feels like a startup, not a prototype
What we learned
- Trust systems must be transparent, not complex
- AI is most powerful when it verifies, not just generates
- Blockchain works best when it records facts, not opinions
- Judges and users value clarity of impact over feature overload
Most importantly, we learned that verification is the missing layer of the digital world.
What’s next for VERIXA
- Expand verification modules for ESG, education, and government use cases
- Introduce DAO based governance for validation standards
- Launch APIs for enterprises and institutions
- Integrate real-time data sources and IoT inputs
- Move toward mainnet deployment and pilot partnerships
VERIXA aims to become the default trust layer for real-world impact.
