Etherum + PoV

Ethereum secures the network. EDMA secures the truth.

EDMA does not replace Ethereum’s Proof of Stake (PoS) — it builds on top of it. Validators still stake ETH, propose and attest to blocks, and provide the censorship resistance and data availability that give the chain its foundation. This is the trust layer that ensures every transaction is permanent and every audit trail is tamper-proof.

On top of that base, EDMA introduces Proof of Verification (PoV). Where Ethereum’s PoS orders blocks, PoV decides what is allowed into state. Nothing can mint, settle, or unlock access until it passes the verification gate.

That gate enforces three rules:

• Attestor quorum: independent verifiers must sign the same evidence.

• Equality check: all attestations must match the same evidence hash.

• One-claim exclusivity: a single event can be finalized only once across all markets.

If any rule fails, the transaction fails. If evidence is later revoked, dependent assets are automatically flagged and frozen until rectified.

This combination — Ethereum PoS for block security, PoV for state admissibility — creates a settlement system where money only moves on independently verified facts. No evidence, no action.
