Local Proof Cards
Screenshot-native catalysts: small cards that set an ask, an offer, a pledge, a reference, or a decision moving. Read a card, or scroll the rooms.
A Local Proof Card is a small, readable record you can keep, and its work is less to prove than to catalyze: it gets the next move started. It can describe what someone needs, what someone offers, what a group agreed to, what a project is asking for, or what insight should be remembered. Its strongest form binds four things: the claim or input, the conditions and prior state, the evidence for what changed, and the next authorized state, which is the part that sets things moving.
The card stays useful as a screenshot, a copied seed, a link, or a later archived record. No wallet required. No platform lock-in required. The first version is local, readable, and shareable. The screenshot matters because it freezes a state without pretending the process is over.
a claim, ask, offer, scene note, funding request, or learning milestone needs a durable handle.
context, authorship, sequence, and the difference between “someone said this” and “this is true.”
a screenshot, prompt packet, membership artifact, consensus record, RPG recap seed, or research citation. It can also become a prompt for the next pass through the work.

Back the film's season
A feature-length film is due in 2027, and I'm doing its marketing. Through the production season, October to New Year, that means a little promo every day. Backing it keeps the daily part daily. Choose a shape, say what being part of it would mean to you, and send the message the card writes.

Money amounts are starting points, not a price list, and nothing moves until we have talked. What credit fits is agreed together, case by case.
Collaborate on lore.land
lore.land is a show that is also a book, and a pantry for homebrew campaigns. If you want to add to the pantry, choose what you'd bring, name the world or piece, and send the message the card writes. Finished work may be offered as a credited reference entry when it fits the world.

A reference entry is offered, not owed: it goes in when it fits the world and you want it there, with your name on it.
What A Card Does
A card makes a claim and binds it to a visible state. A screenshot preserves it. Evidence records the declared consequence. A URL or seed lets someone revisit it. A later version can supersede it. Between those states is where a lot of useful understanding happens.
These are NFT-like in the narrow sense that each card is a distinct object with its own context. They are not speculative assets. They are local records first.
Keep The Record Honest
A card is not proof that a claim is true. It is proof that a claim was made in a readable form at a specific moment. A verification receipt may support the relation or refuse it; evidence for a nearby proxy should not be used to rescue the wrong claim.
If a card changes, make a new version. Do not silently overwrite the record.
Screenshot To Consensus
Consensus does not mean everyone agrees forever. It means the group has a visible reference point for what is being proposed, supported, questioned, blocked, revised, or archived.
Draft
A proposal exists. No agreement yet.
Supported
Enough people support moving forward.
Concerned
People agree partly but have notes.
Blocked
Someone names a concrete reason not to proceed.
Revised
A new version replaces the old one.
Archived
No longer active, but preserved.
Screenshot the card before the conversation spreads out. The card gives the group one thing to point at.
