In today’s increasingly digital world, critical historical and scientific data are at risk of being lost or questioned due to a lack of trust and suitable verification systems. The Data History Museum by MakerX uses the Algorand blockchain to create a permanent, verifiable digital record of natural phenomena like earthquakes, with a design that can be applied broadly to other historical events.
"We've all become sensitive to [the question]: is what I'm looking at actually the truth? Is that actually what happened? And I think having a backbone of trust frees us up to look at the world in new and interesting ways. Algorand is particularly well-placed to be the backbone, the infrastructure that maintains and provides that comfort, that source of truth."
- Jess Panni, Chief Product Officer, MakerX
