identity verification
— just the worst version of it.
Trustmark is the formalization: one credential, ID-backed, that travels with you across every platform your fans find you on. Stop pinning “this is my only account.” Stop chasing takedowns that spawn faster than you can file them.
THE PROBLEM
The problem isn't piracy. It's impersonation.
Reposts can drive traffic. Impersonation can't — and platforms treat them the same anyway. The categorical harm isn't someone re-uploading your clip; it's not having control of what narratives or products your image is being used to endorse.
The daily reality
Fake accounts DM your fans pretending to be you. Voice clones endorse scams in your name. Stream clips get reposted under a different handle and shipped to a different audience. Each one of these is a separate breach of the same thing — your identity — and none of the platforms can tell which account is actually you.
The current cope
File takedowns. Pin a disclaimer to every post. Record “I did not do that” clips and hope the algorithm shows them to the right people. Maintain a notes-app list of every “official” handle, hand it out one fan at a time, and re-do the work on every new platform you join.
Why it stays broken
Dupes spawn faster than takedowns process. Platforms are playing whack-a-mole; you're the one carrying the damage. And it's not random — there are server centers full of bots specifically targeting creators in the growth phase. Too big to be invisible. Too small to have legal teams.
THE SCALE
75M1
AI-generated face-spoof attempts blocked in corporate hiring flows by one vendor in 2024 alone.
8M2
deepfakes projected shared across social media in 2025 — up from ~500K in 2023.
$1.16B3
lost to romance scams in the US in the first nine months of 2025, reported to the FTC.
THE FIX
Verify once. Travel everywhere.
One credential, anchored to a real person. The same standard of identity verification your bank uses for high-value transactions — applied to your online identity, and portable across every platform you work on.
DIGITAL
Government ID + liveness
Submit a government-issued ID and pass a real-time liveness check. We authenticate the document, match the face, then permanently delete the raw images. What lives on your public credential page is a cryptographic proof of verification — no name, no DOB, no ID number ever displayed.

NOTARY
In-person notarization
A licensed notary — an officer of the court — verifies your identity in person and co-signs your credential. The same standard of identity check used for real-estate closings and bank-account openings, applied to your online presence. The highest-trust signal in the consumer identity stack, and one a uniqueness-only system structurally can't replicate.

VALIDATION
What creators are already doing — manually.
You're not waiting for permission to verify yourself. You've been doing it for years — inefficiently, per-platform, and at your own cost.
- Pinning “my only socials are X and Y” to every post
- Filing DMCA takedowns that spawn faster than they process
- Running weekly Google Alerts and reverse-image searches
- Recording disclaimer clips (“this isn't really me”)
- Maintaining manual lists of “official” handles in a notes app
All of this is identity verification — in a worse form.
Trustmark is the formalization.
VS. THE ALTERNATIVES
Why not just use Worldcoin?
World (formerly Worldcoin) is the most direct alternative in the “verified human” category. Worth being explicit about how the two differ.
UNIQUENESS VS. IDENTITY
Worldcoin verifies uniqueness — you exist as one human in the system. Trustmark verifies identity — who you actually are. For impersonation, those are different problems with different fixes.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Worldcoin requires a crypto wallet and an eyeball scan at a physical orb. Trustmark uses the same identity infrastructure your bank already uses — government ID, liveness, optional notary — with no token to hold and no orb to find.
JURISDICTION
Worldcoin is banned or under regulatory review in multiple countries. Trustmark works on the existing legal identity stack — the same one already trusted everywhere documents are trusted.
The in-person notary tier — which a uniqueness-only system structurally can't replicate — is the highest-trust signal in the consumer identity stack.
FROM THE COMMUNITIES
From the threads where creators talk honestly.
“Your digital likeness is like physical property. You should have control over how it's used.”
“The harm isn't the reposts. It's not having control of what narratives or products your image is being used to endorse.”
