Betat

A child born today will grow up in a world where it is increasingly impossible to tell whether something was created by a human being — or generated by a machine. Betat is an open framework for preserving the provenance of human-originated content: verified by communities of real people, tagged HI — Human Intelligence — and permanently findable by anyone, free, forever.

We do not chase the fake. We prove the real.


What do you want to do?

Find a community

A Betat community archives a specific type of human knowledge — scientific observations, oral traditions, creative works, field research. If your knowledge belongs to a record, find the community that preserves it.

Join a community

Your community is already using Betat. You want to become a Provenancier — a verified human contributor — and add your knowledge to the permanent record.

Start a community

Your community’s knowledge deserves a permanent, verified record, and no Betat community exists for it yet. You are ready to create one.


For builders and contributors

For Builders — the architecture, the community framework, and the provenance record specification. Where Contributors start.

The Project — how to contribute, the code of conduct, and the license.

The project lives at github.com/Sylva-AF/betat-repo — issues, pull requests, and code all happen there.


“Betat” — from the Bamileke language of the Bantu people, Cameroon. It means “the other person” — humanhood.

Betat. The human record, for the other person.
