Abstract
SECforSTREAM introduces a revolutionary blockchain-based verification system for livestream content, addressing the escalating crisis of deepfake technology and AI-powered impersonation in the streaming industry. By combining cryptographic token staking, real-time human verification challenges, and transparent trust scoring, SECforSTREAM provides creators, viewers, and brands with verifiable proof of authenticity.
This whitepaper outlines the technical architecture, economic model, and implementation strategy for the SECforSTREAM token ($SECS) and verification protocol.
1. Introduction
1.1 Background
The livestreaming industry has grown exponentially, with over $10 billion in creator revenue in 2025. However, this growth has attracted malicious actors leveraging AI technology to create convincing deepfakes, leading to:
- $2+ billion in fraud losses (2025)
- Destroyed creator reputations
- Eroded viewer trust
- Brand sponsorship hesitation
- Platform liability concerns
1.2 Vision
SECforSTREAM envisions a future where livestream authenticity is verifiable, transparent, and incentivized. By leveraging blockchain technology and cryptoeconomic incentives, we create a self-sustaining ecosystem where creators can prove their authenticity, viewers can trust what they watch, brands can sponsor with confidence, and platforms can reduce liability.
2. The Problem
2.1 The Deepfake Crisis
Modern AI can now clone voices in real-time with 95%+ accuracy, generate photorealistic facial animations, mimic mannerisms and speech patterns, and operate with sub-second latency. Current detection methods fail because they are reactive, centralized, lack economic incentives, use opaque processes, and are platform-specific.
| Stakeholder | Problem | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Creators | Reputation damage, impersonation, lost sponsorships | $800M+ |
| Brands | Fraudulent endorsements, brand safety risks | $1.2B+ |
| Platforms | Liability, moderation costs, user churn | $500M+ |
| Viewers | Misinformation, scams, loss of trust | Incalculable |

5. Token Economics
5.1 Token Overview
5.2 Token Distribution
| Allocation | % | Amount | Vesting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team | 35% | 350,000,000 | 12-month cliff, 24-month linear vest |
| Verification Rewards | 30% | 300,000,000 | Released via protocol over 48 months |
| Streamer Staking Pool | 20% | 200,000,000 | Available at launch |
| Community Treasury | 10% | 100,000,000 | Governed by DAO |
| Liquidity | 5% | 50,000,000 | Locked in DEX pools |
5.3 Staking Tiers
| Tier | Stake Required | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 1,000 SECS | Basic verification |
| Silver | 5,000 SECS | Priority support, advanced challenges |
| Gold | 10,000 SECS | Custom challenges, API access |
| Platinum | 25,000 SECS | Branded verification, analytics |
5.4 Reward Formula
Reward = BaseReward × DifficultyMultiplier × StreakBonus × SpeedBonus Where: - BaseReward = 10 SECS per challenge - DifficultyMultiplier = 1.0 (easy), 1.5 (medium), 2.0 (hard) - StreakBonus = 1 + (0.1 × ConsecutiveSuccesses) [max 2.0x] - SpeedBonus = 1.0 (slow), 1.2 (fast), 1.5 (very fast)
5.5 Value Accrual & Sustainability
Value Drivers
- • Network Effects: More streamers attract more viewers
- • Staking Lock-up: Reduces circulating supply
- • Burn Mechanism: 1% of rewards burned
- • Utility Expansion: New features require SECS
Revenue Sources
- • Platform integration fees (5% of premium)
- • Brand verification services (enterprise pricing)
- • API access fees (for platforms)
- • NFT marketplace fees (verification badges)
6. Verification Protocol
6.1 Proof-of-Human Protocol (PoHP)
Phase 1: Initiation
- 1. Streamer stakes minimum required SECS
- 2. Smart contract locks stake with 24-hour cooldown
- 3. Verification session activated
- 4. Initial trust score calculated or retrieved
Phase 2: Challenge Generation
- 5. Protocol selects challenge type based on stream context, previous challenges, difficulty tier, and random seed
Phase 3: Execution
- 6. Challenge displayed to streamer via overlay/prompt
- 7. Streamer performs challenge on camera
- 8. Viewer participants submit verification
- 9. Timer enforces response deadline
Phase 4: Validation
- 10. Smart contract aggregates viewer responses
- 11. Consensus mechanism determines pass/fail
- 12. Rewards distributed to successful participants
- 13. Trust score updated
Phase 5: Completion
- 14. Verification event recorded on-chain
- 15. Trust score badge updated
- 16. Stake released or held for next challenge
- 17. Evidence archived to IPFS
6.2 Challenge Design Principles
| Category | Example Challenge | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Contextual | "Show me something red in your room" | Requires real environment |
| Temporal | "What's the weather outside your window?" | Needs current, local info |
| Creative | "Rhyme using: blockchain, stream, dream" | Requires improvisation |
| Physical | "Touch your nose with left thumb" | Specific, uncommon gesture |
| Cognitive | "Name 3 capital cities starting with M in 5s" | Timed pressure test |
6.3 Consensus Mechanism
- Minimum 5 viewer responses required
- 70% agreement threshold for pass
- Outlier responses flagged and investigated
- Malicious validators lose reputation
Challenge: "Show something blue in your room" Responses: [Yes, Yes, Yes, No, Yes] (4/5 = 80% pass) Result: Challenge PASSED Streamer: +10 trust points Voters (Yes): +5 SECS each Voter (No): -2 reputation (flagged for review)
7. Trust Score System
7.1 Score Calculation
TrustScore = min(100, ∑ ComponentScores) 1. Challenge Success Rate (40 pts max) = (Successful / Total) × 40 2. Verification Frequency (20 pts max) = (Recent / Expected) × 20 3. Streak Bonus (25 pts max) = min(25, ConsecutiveDays × 2.5) 4. Community Endorsement (15 pts max) = (PositiveVotes / TotalVotes) × 15
7.2 Trust Tiers
| Score | Tier | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100 | Elite | Highest credibility, verified consistently |
| 75-89 | High | Strong track record, trusted |
| 60-74 | Good | Established authenticity |
| 40-59 | Moderate | Building reputation |
| 20-39 | Low | Unproven or inconsistent |
| 0-19 | Risk | Flagged, requires investigation |
7.3 Score Decay & Penalties
Decay Rules
- • Weekly: 2% decay of current score
- • No verification in 7 days: -10 points
- • No verification in 30 days: 50% reduction
Penalties
- • Failed challenge: -5 points
- • Streak broken: -10 points
- • Community flag: -20 points
- • Verified deepfake: Reset to 0
