The trust layer for media
on the internet
California SB 942, EU AI Act and the India AI Act now require AI content disclosure. Verda binds
source and identity to every photo, video, and voice — compliant by default, verifiable anywhere.
Trust has collapsed.
Regulators are mandating provenance.
California SB 942 and the EU AI Act go into effect August 2. Both require durable, machine-readable marks in AI-generated media. Metadata is not enough — Verda's signal-level watermark fulfills the requirements.
Three lines of code to integrate.
3% of global revenue if you don't.
Don't get caught off guard. Most teams don't yet realize these mandates already apply to them — and the deadline is closing fast. Learn what it means for your business.

When AI can make anything, origin matters more than ever
AI models can generate convincing text, image, audio, and video in seconds. That power is exciting and also makes it harder to know what is real.
Synthetic media will be impossible to detect
Anyone can create a counter narrative. Synthetic screenshots, tweets, cloned voices, and AI-generated posts can look almost identical to genuine content.
Your brand is easy to spoof
Bad actors can copy your name, photo, and style. Without stronger signals, your followers have no simple way to distinguish between content originating from you versus content originating from your imposters.
Platforms sit in the middle
Social networks and media platforms face growing pressure to moderate harmful or misleading content without the tools to trace where it came from.
Trust erodes for everyone
If there is no trust, there is no value. As doubt spreads, audiences become sceptical even of authentic creators, journalists, and brands.
Verda is the identity layer for your content anywhere on the internet
Verda links verified identity to media using an imperceptible, secure watermark, that can be instantly verified by anyone. Our watermark is invisible and designed to survive sharing on different platforms, recompression, and editing.
How Verda works
Verda combines identity, secure watermarks, and content fingerprints into a simple end-to-end flow built for the realities of an AI-driven media landscape.
Verify the source
A person, brand, or organization completes a secure identity verification flow. Verda confirms their identity and creates a trusted digital profile.
Connect your channels
Link your social accounts, websites, newsletters, or channels so that Verda knows which profiles and content belong to you.
Watermark and fingerprint
When you publish through Verda, an imperceptible, secure watermark is added to your media linking it to your identity. An optional visible copyrighted V-mark is added, and content fingerprints are stored for future verification.
Validate from anywhere
Platforms, partners, and your audience can paste a link or upload media to Verda to confirm if it is genuinely from you. Verda reports a match only if we detect a Verda watermark and there is no evidence of tampering.
Verda for different stakeholders
For public figures and media accounts
Protect your reputation
Make it harder for impersonators and edited fakes to pass as you or your content in an AI-saturated feed.
Give your audience a clear signal
The presence of Verda watermark lets your audience quickly check if a post, audio soundtrack, image, or video is genuinely yours, and it is not tampered with.
Create a verifiable archive
Lock in a traceable record of key posts, announcements, and releases for future reference.
A new era of AI regulations,
stay ahead with Verda
AI media is accelerating fast and California's SB 942 is the first major law requiring AI companies to watermark all synthetic media in a durable and verifiable way.
What SB 942 requires
SB 942 mandates that AI-generated images, audios, and videos must include watermarking that is
Persistent
Survives sharing, editing, and re-encoding
Detectable
Verifiable by platforms, regulators, and users
Difficult to remove
Resilient to manipulation
Publicly verifiable
Not a proprietary or hidden signal

Compliance laws
Deepfakes, voice-clone fraud, and synthetic disinformation have outpaced every tool built to catch them. Governments responded the only way that scales — by requiring provenance to live inside the media itself. Here's what's enforceable now, and what's next.
SB 942
In effect · Aug 2, 2026Large GenAI providers must embed a hidden, permanent watermark in AI-generated image, audio, and video — and run a free public detection tool.
Compliance as a service
Embed a durable watermark, register it in a central provenance registry, and verify any file anywhere. Verda delivers the whole compliance stack as a service — three API calls, not a six-month project.
Sign at creation
A unique identifier is embedded into the media at creation — imperceptible to humans, resilient to modification.
Record the origin
Verda assigns and stores the registry record: owner, timestamp, integration, file hash, and any metadata you attach.
Verify anywhere
Submit any suspect file. Verda extracts the watermark and returns the full provenance chain — owner, time, and method.
Survives everything
Compression. Cropping. Re-encoding. Screenshots. Format conversion. Inside the media, not alongside it — the watermark persists across every transformation the open internet throws at it.
C2PA-compatible
Reads and writes C2PA manifests on input and output. Our durable watermark is the resilient layer that persists when metadata gets stripped.
Identity-bound
Every watermark maps to a verified owner and a full provenance chain — from creation to detection. The trust hierarchy behind "Verified by Verda."
Production-ready
Designed for production pipelines. Minimal overhead — light enough to co-locate with any model, at any scale.
Not sure what the law requires of you?
Beyond the API, our team maps your product to SB 942, the EU AI Act, and what's coming next — then shows you exactly what to implement. Full-fledged compliance consulting, included.
Built for resilience, security, and neutrality
Resilient watermarks
Verda's imperceptible watermarking technology is designed to persist through common changes like recompression, resizing, and multi-repost workflows, so that validation remains meaningful over time.
Strong identity, backed by rigorous checks
Every verified identity is carefully checked, then securely linked to their content's watermark and fingerprints.
Privacy by design
Sensitive documents and identity data stay encrypted and are never exposed to the public. Public verification shows only what needs to be known: who the content is attributed to and whether it matches the original content, nothing more.
Neutral infrastructure layer
Verda does not label content as "True" or "False". We provide verifiable signals about the origin and authorship of content, so that platforms, organisations, and people can make better decisions in an AI-saturated world.
