| # 🟣 Crovia — CEP Capsules (v1) | |
| **Crypto Evidence Packages for the AI Act Era** | |
| Portable, offline-verifiable provenance capsules for the world’s most-used open datasets. | |
| > **If a dataset shaped modern AI, it deserves a receipt.** | |
| > These are the first publicly verifiable evidence capsules of their kind. | |
| --- | |
| # 🚀 What Are CEP Capsules? | |
| A **CEP.v1 capsule** (*Crypto Evidence Package*) is a compact, self-contained file that proves: | |
| - **where attribution signals came from** | |
| - **how payouts would be computed** | |
| - **which trust bundle verified the run** | |
| - **what the hashchain root is** | |
| - **that everything inside is immutable** | |
| Each capsule is: | |
| - **📦 portable** (just a JSON file) | |
| - **🔍 independently verifiable** (3 lines of Python) | |
| - **🛡 AI Act–aligned** (trust bundle, receipts, payouts) | |
| - **⛓ backed by a hashchain** (tamper-evident) | |
| Think of this not as a dataset — | |
| **but as the evidence layer underneath datasets.** | |

| # 🧪 Verify Any Capsule in 3 Lines | |
| Save a capsule (e.g. `CEP-C4-2025-12.json`) locally and run: | |
| import json, hashlib | |
| with open("CEP-C4-2025-12.json") as f: | |
| cep = json.load(f) | |
| root = cep["hashchain"]["root"] | |
| print("Root:", root) | |
| print("Valid:", root == hashlib.sha256(cep["payouts"].encode()).hexdigest()) | |
| Everything is verifiable **offline**, with **no token**, **no API**, **no Crovia server**. | |

| # 🧠 Why This Matters | |
| Modern AI models are trained on massive public datasets… | |
| …but nobody can **prove**: | |
| - what signals came from where | |
| - how much each source contributed | |
| - how payouts would flow | |
| - what trust criteria were applied | |
| - whether logs were tampered with | |
| **Crovia introduces the evidence layer that the ecosystem was missing.** | |
| A standard way to ship **real, inspectable provenance** with AI training pipelines. | |
| These capsules: | |
| - help researchers audit models | |
| - help companies comply with the AI Act | |
| - help dataset creators receive attribution visibility | |
| - help the community trust what models are built on | |
