The PoM app helps verify the trustworthiness of the devices we use daily. It allows users to create a unique device attestation, which is recorded on the blockchain.
A device attestation is a digital proof that confirms the authenticity and integrity of a specific device.
Attestation confirms that the device is uncompromised, its properties are legitimate, and its security state is up-to-date.
To create a device attestation, open the app, and follow the prompts to attest your device. If you have not downloaded the app, please do so through the App Store or Play Store first.
Users can create an attestation by scanning a QR code from any application that uses Automata's Proof of Machinehood. This attestation will be recorded onchain through the app.
Users can revoke an attestation at any time through the app. Once revoked, the device is no longer considered authenticated and must undergo the attestation process again.
Introducing attestations into your workflow allows anyone to gain confidence that all devices interacting with a network or system are verified. In short, they create open systems. Because attestations are recorded on the blockchain, they are also publicly verifiable.
Absolutely. Services that leverage Proof of Machinehood allow for trusted device interactions. For example, deploying DePIN networks with real-time attestations builds trust in the physical infrastructure of the service providers.
