Prism is a new verifiable authentication standard allowing users to directly verify the authenticity of cryptographic materials without a trusted intermediary.
Why Prism?
The Trust Problem
We browse countless websites and send encrypted messages daily, trusting we're connecting to legitimate sources. But without proper verification, malicious actors can secretly intercept your sensitive data.
Split-World Vulnerability
This security flaw affects billions of daily internet interactions - from basic web browsing to private messaging - making it one of the most fundamental security challenges of our digital infrastructure.
How Does
It Work?
Trust Minimized
User applications embed a light node that downloads and verifies this proof directly from the Celestia network, without any intermediaries or RPCs - your app is a node in the network.
Direct Verification
To eliminate the need for centralized key directories, Prism cryptographically verifies the identity behind every interaction by pairing validity proofs of the key directory and the corresponding roots to a high-throughput, shared data layer as the first based rollup on Celestia.
Unstoppable PKI
Prism enables a new generation of applications built on verifiable public key infrastructure. Developers can now create systems where users directly verify cryptographic materials without trusting central authorities. Build authentication that just works—backed by cryptographic proofs, not promises.
