About Sootru

Helping people prove their media is real

Our Mission

Sootru was built for a simple reason: too much of what people see online has been faked, edited, or taken out of context. We want to give ordinary people the power to prove their media is real.

Whether you're a journalist documenting an event, a lawyer collecting evidence, or a content creator who wants their audience to trust what they share; Sootru gives you proof that holds up.

Organizations, from newsrooms and insurers to legal teams and NGOs, use the Sootru dashboard to receive verified media straight into a review queue, with a full chain of custody on every file. Contributors can even stream a recording live, so footage survives even if the phone is lost or seized. It turns "we think this is real" into proof anyone can check.

How It Works

1. Capture with Sootru App

Take a photo or video using the Sootru app. Each capture is cryptographically signed using your device's secure hardware. No extra steps needed.

2. Blockchain Anchoring

The cryptographic signature is anchored on the Bitcoin blockchain, creating a permanent, public timestamp that anyone can verify independently.

3. Verify Anywhere

Anyone, a journalist, a lawyer, or just a curious person, can use this website to check whether a piece of media is genuine and unedited. Works even after sharing on TikTok, Instagram, or WhatsApp.
