Proof of Deeds Rules

Purpose

Proof of Deeds exists to create a transparent record of verified real-world actions that create positive impact. The goal is not recognition of individuals. The goal is preserving trustworthy records of actions that help communities.

Core Principle

Proof of Deeds verifies actions, not people. A person's worth is never determined by the number of deeds they submit. The system exists only to verify that a claimed action occurred.

What Qualifies as a Deed?

Examples of qualifying deeds include:

Helping individuals or families in need
Community service
Donations of supplies or resources
Environmental cleanup efforts
Supporting verified community programs
Acts that create measurable positive impact

What Does Not Qualify?

Claims without supporting evidence
Actions submitted only for personal promotion
False or misleading information
Political advertising disguised as charity
Content unrelated to real-world impact

Evidence Requirements

A deed submission may require supporting evidence depending on the type of action.

Receipts or records
Organization confirmations
Witness verification
Photos or documentation when appropriate

Evidence exists to support the claim, not to expose private information.

Image Safety Rules

Images submitted as evidence must only be used for verification purposes.

No nudity or sexual content
No explicit images
No inappropriate images involving any person
No graphic or disturbing content
No private documents or sensitive personal information
No images unrelated to the submitted deed

Submitted images may be reviewed before becoming part of the public record.

Verification Philosophy

Validators do not decide whether someone is a good person. Validators answer one question:

"Does the evidence support that this action happened?"

Privacy

Proof of Deeds focuses on impact, not recognition. Participants may remain anonymous. The system records verified actions while respecting personal privacy.

Anti-Fraud Commitment

Trust is the foundation of Proof of Deeds. False claims, manipulated evidence, and abuse of the system damage the entire community. Verification standards exist to protect the integrity of every verified deed.
