Look again: the cast is now diamonds.

The first Cast has been /witnessed in its raw form to serve as an onchain verifiable attestation. No data transformation required.

In addition to being more efficient architecturally, this opens up the ability for anyone to retroactively make any cast - past or future - function as an onchain verifiable attestation.

This model extends to making any cryptographically verifiable data (whether web2 or web3) retroactively verifiable onchain under any schema.

Don’t trust me, you can verify it onchain!

I know @osprey is adding more tooling for how to visualize. Maybe you could point us to the latest way to do so?

We are using the cast hash as the UID posted to @witness and then reference it back in our /eas  attestation to make it easy to find later

Yup, great question! We asked similar before concluding this is a durable design

It’s similar to ipfs in that as long as one person hosts a copy, it can be recovered. 

And because we witness them, its provenance can also be verified onchain

random thought that came to mind as I talk about this in my newsletter. What happens when the cast starts disappearing because people arent buying more storage? do we lose the attestation due to pruning?
