Capture the Scene.
Prove the Truth.

Vehicle damage documentation and accident scene capture with blockchain-verified evidence that eliminates disputes.

The Problem

Auto Evidence Is Unreliable

Standard phone photos of vehicle damage can be edited, staged, or taken long after the incident. Disputes drag on for weeks.

Insurance Fraud

Staged accidents and inflated damage claims cost the auto industry billions. Edited photos and fabricated evidence are difficult to detect.

🔧

Pre/Post Repair Disputes

Workshops and owners disagree on vehicle condition before and after repairs. Without trusted records, liability becomes a guessing game.

🚨

Accident Scene Tampering

Critical evidence can be moved, altered, or lost before investigators arrive. Unsecured scene photos carry no weight in disputes.

The Solution

How Kura Solves This

Four steps from roadside to resolution — no special hardware, no workflow changes.

1

Capture

Photograph the vehicle damage, accident scene, and road conditions using Kura's web app. Each photo is hashed instantly at the point of capture.

2

Certify

The SHA-256 hash, claimed GPS location, and your identity are anchored to the Internet Computer blockchain via consensus.

3

Encrypt & Store

The original media is encrypted with vetKeys and stored on-chain. Only you and authorised parties — insurers, solicitors, repair shops — can decrypt.

4

Verify

Share a single verification link with your insurer or the other party. Anyone can independently confirm the photo's authenticity and timestamp.

Features

Built for Vehicle Documentation

📷

Roadside Capture

Photograph damage and scene conditions the moment an incident occurs — hashed before the photo leaves your device.

Consensus Timestamp

Blockchain consensus provides an immutable timestamp proving exactly when the photo was taken — not a device clock or editable EXIF field.

📍

Claimed GPS Location

Record the claimed location of the accident scene alongside each capture, creating a spatial record tied to the blockchain certificate.

🔒

Encrypted Evidence

vetKeys encryption ensures sensitive vehicle photos are only visible to authorised parties — drivers, insurers, and legal representatives.

🔄

Pre & Post Repair Records

Document vehicle condition before drop-off and after collection. Timestamped records eliminate workshop liability disputes.

🔗

Shareable Verification

Send a single verification link to insurers, solicitors, or the other party. No account needed to confirm authenticity.

Real-World Scenario

Roundabout Collision — Dispute Resolved

Case Study

A driver is involved in a minor collision at a roundabout. They immediately photograph both vehicles, the road conditions, and any visible damage using Kura.

Each photo is instantly hashed, timestamped by blockchain consensus, and linked to the driver's verified identity. The claimed GPS confirms they're at the roundabout location.

Result: When the other driver later claims whiplash and extensive damage, the blockchain-timestamped photos prove the impact was minimal and the other vehicle had pre-existing damage. The fraudulent claim is dismissed within days, not months.

Without Kura, the dispute would have dragged on for weeks — relying on conflicting statements, questionable photos, and expensive expert assessments.
