Preserving the Human Truth: How Numbers Protocol Secure Stories That Matter

Posted in:

Ecosystem

In the streets of Taiwan, life unfolds in its quiet, everyday rhythm. While in Myanmar, the shadows of conflict stretch long over communities fighting for their future. Across these vastly different landscapes, photojournalists capture the human truth—stories of struggle, resilience, and identity that define our time.

In an era dominated by AI-generated content, true human stories remain the most powerful form of storytelling. Yet, as misinformation spreads and digital manipulation erases historical truth, how do we ensure these narratives are protected, preserved, and credited to their rightful creators?

This question is at the heart of our recent collaboration with Pyro Image, showcased at a powerful event dedicated to visual storytelling. More than a presentation, this gathering was a witness to history—a moment to reflect on the role of provenance in preserving authenticity in an age of digital uncertainty.

Capturing Hope, Loss, and Resilience: The Work of Evan Su

From the war-torn landscapes of Myanmar, photojournalist Evan Su has documented stories of survival. His lens has captured moments that might have otherwise been lost:
🔹 The resilience of communities amidst ongoing conflict
🔹 The unseen realities of daily life under military rule
🔹 The quiet moments of hope and humanity amid destruction

Evan’s work does more than capture history—it cements it in truth. Thanks to on-chain registration through Capture, his images remain undeniably his. Recently, a major news outlet licensed his photos, ensuring that his work is both seen and properly credited.

"Family Portrait": A Story Beyond the Frame

In 全家福 (Family Portrait), photographer Tsai Ting Bang documents the evolving dynamics of his family, challenging stereotypes surrounding Vietnamese brides in Taiwan. Through intimate portraits, he captures his mother’s journey from hardship to empowerment, highlighting her shift into the role of the family’s primary provider and the redefining of traditional family roles.

To protect these deeply personal images, Tsai turned to Capture by Numbers Protocol. By registering his work on-chain, he guarantees that each photograph remains tamper-proof, permanently verifiable, and accessible for generations to come.

His award-winning book “Born from the Same Root” earned the 2024 Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Award, marking him as the first Taiwanese photographer to receive this honor. But beyond the accolade, Tsai’s work stands as a testament to the power of storytelling in preserving family history.

By registering his content to Capture, Tsai ensures his deeply personal work remains verifiably authentic, accessible, and protected in the AI era.

Why This Matters

In the age of rapid digital transformation, some stories are buried, rewritten, or erased. The work of Pyro Image and photographers like Evan and Tsai fights against this—ensuring that powerful images remain unaltered, protected, and preserved for generations.

Provenance is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity. Every story, from the frontlines of war to the quiet intimacy of family life, deserves an unbreakable digital record. With Capture, human history finds its forever home.

Empowering Creators in the AI Economy

Beyond preservation, blockchain enables creators to take full control of their work—from licensing to monetization. Numbers Protocol empowers visual storytellers with:

✅ Tiered Licensing – Allowing flexible usage rights for different media and buyers

This isn’t just about protecting content; it’s about ensuring creators can thrive in the AI-driven digital landscape.
