Introduction

Wakweli, in Swahili, means the “truthful” or “truthsayers”

As more aspects of our lives move online, fraud and scams are becoming increasingly common, targeting everything from digital assets and AI-generated content to online payments and personal identities. Wakweli was born to restore confidence in the digital ecosystem by creating a protocol that verifies and certifies the digital information.

At its core, Wakweli is a community-powered protocol that enables anyone to confirm the authenticity of digital information through a decentralized certification process. Whether it’s a social media profile, a news story, or a website, Wakweli ensures that the information we rely on is trustworthy and accurate.

By empowering individuals to request and validate certificates, Wakweli builds a collaborative ecosystem where truth thrives. Participants—electors, requesters, certifiers, and challengers—are rewarded for their role in maintaining honesty and fairness, creating a system built on collective responsibility and trust.
