fidemark 0.2.1

Fidemark Protocol, Python SDK

fidemark

Prove it's real. Prove it's AI. Prove it on-chain.

Official Python SDK for Fidemark, a permissionless, tokenless content-provenance protocol built on Ethereum Attestation Service on Base (L2). Use it to attest human authorship or AI-generated output, verify those attestations on chain, and walk provenance chains.

• Two complementary attestation flows on one EAS foundation: Human Proof and AI Proof.
• Permissionless, no allowlist, no consortium, no protocol token.
• Verifiable without trust: every attestation is a public on-chain record.
• Deployed network addresses + schema UIDs ship inside the wheel, so get_network("base-sepolia") just works.

Install

pip install fidemark

Requires Python 3.11 or newer. Server-side only.

Quickstart

import os
from fidemark import AttestHumanInput, Fidemark, get_network, hash_content

fidemark = Fidemark(
    network=get_network("base-sepolia"),     # or "base"
    private_key=os.environ["PRIVATE_KEY"],
)

# 1. Attest authored content
result = fidemark.attest_human(AttestHumanInput(
    content="An essay I wrote myself.",
    content_type="text/article",
))
print(result.verify_url)                     # https://verify.fidemark.dev/0x...

# 2. Verify any attestation by UID, no signer required
att = fidemark.verify(result.uid)
print(att.attester, att.content_hash)

# 3. Find every attestation on a piece of content
matches = fidemark.verify_by_hash(hash_content(my_article))

A standalone read-only client (no private_key) is enough for verification:

reader = Fidemark(network=get_network("base"))
att = reader.verify(uid)

What you can do

Capability	Method
Attest authored content	attest_human(AttestHumanInput(...))
Attest AI output (model + prompt hash)	attest_ai(AttestAIInput(...))
ENS-verified Human Proof	attest_human_with_ens(AttestHumanInput(...))
Multi-party (N-of-N) co-attestation	attest_multi_party(AttestMultiPartyInput(...))
Verified-human (Worldcoin PoP)	attest_human_with_pop(AttestHumanWithPoPInput(...))
Off-chain EIP-712 envelopes (zero gas)	attest_human_offchain, attest_ai_offchain, verify_offchain
Bring an off-chain envelope on-chain	publish_offchain(envelope) (anyone with funds can publish)
Verify a UID	verify(uid)
Find every attestation on a content hash	verify_by_hash(content_hash)
Walk a provenance chain	verify_chain(uid)
Revoke (only the original attester)	revoke(uid)
Inspect without raising	inspect(uid) returns {"ok": True, "attestation"} or {"ok": False, "reason"}

Trust layers (proof_method) supported today: wallet-signed (L0), ens-verified (L1), multi-party (L2), pop-verified-worldid (L4). See Trust layers for the full design.

Networks

Network	Argument	Notes
Base Sepolia	get_network("base-sepolia")	testnet (chainId 84532)
Base mainnet	get_network("base")	(chainId 8453)

The published wheel bundles each network's deployment artifact (resolver address + schema UIDs) inside fidemark/deployments/. If you call get_network(name) against a network this version of fidemark predates, the call raises NETWORK_NOT_DEPLOYED. Upgrade the package or wait for the next release.

Errors

Every failure surfaces a FidemarkError with a stable code string so you can branch on it without parsing messages:

from fidemark import FidemarkError

try:
    fidemark.revoke(uid)
except FidemarkError as err:
    if err.code == "VALIDATION_REJECTED":
        # Only the original attester can revoke.
        ...

Codes: INVALID_INPUT, NETWORK_NOT_DEPLOYED, ATTESTATION_NOT_FOUND, ATTESTATION_REVOKED, UNKNOWN_SCHEMA, INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS, VALIDATION_REJECTED, USER_REJECTED, RPC_ERROR, NOT_YET_IMPLEMENTED, UNKNOWN.

Configuration

Fidemark(
    network,                # required: NetworkConfig
    private_key=...,        # for write ops
    provider_url=...,       # override the default Base RPC
    ens_provider_url=...,   # Ethereum mainnet RPC for ENS-verified attestations
    verify_url_base=...,    # override the verify-URL host (default: https://verify.fidemark.dev)
    indexer=...,            # "events" (default), "graphql", or "auto"
    indexer_url=...,        # EAS GraphQL endpoint for verify_by_hash on busy mainnet RPCs
)

Versioning

Semantic versioning. The bundled deployment artifacts are versioned alongside the package: pinning to a specific fidemark version pins to a specific snapshot of resolver addresses + schema UIDs, so you can audit exactly which contracts an installed version routes to.
