Notes on Location Proofs
A survey of proof-of-location systems -- technical implementations, privacy implications, and potential applications -- published as a note on this site.
Purpose
Before designing how evidence composes, we needed a wide view of what proof-of-location systems exist and what each can and cannot promise.
Approach
A survey note covering technical implementations, privacy implications, and potential applications of proof-of-location systems.
Status
Published note on this site.

Astral SDK
ActiveThe Astral SDK is a TypeScript library for creating and verifying location attestations -- signed records that bind location data to a signer and a time, off-chain or on-chain via the Ethereum Attestation Service.
Towards Harder Location Proofs
ActiveThis forum post asks what it takes for location proofs to hold up when the prover is motivated to deceive, and where current techniques fall short.
zkMaps
HistoricalzkMaps proves that a user is inside a region without revealing their exact coordinates, using circom circuits and on-chain verifier contracts.
