Verifiedonkala offers a digital trust layer for recreational fishing by recording each catch in a timed, verifiable session and minting a unique FishCard as immutable proof. Anglers can log species, size, location, and conditions, which are then mapped in real time and stored on a blockchain‑like ledger, enabling authentic catch verification for personal records, competitions, and regulatory reporting.

Problem
Recreational anglers often rely on photos, personal estimates, and anecdotal stories to document their catches, which provides little verifiable evidence of species, size, location, or time. This lack of trustworthy records hampers personal bragging rights, tournament integrity, and data collection for the broader fishing community.
Solution
Kala offers a “Verified Fishing” platform that lets anglers start a timed session, log each catch, and mint a digital FishCard that records species, length, location, and timestamp. Each catch is anchored to a measurable standard and geotagged in real time, creating an immutable proof stored on the platform. The verified data are visualized on a live map and can be shared across the fishing ecosystem, providing anglers with credible records and enabling reliable data aggregation for tournaments and research.
Target Audience
Primary users are recreational anglers and tournament organizers who need trustworthy catch documentation, as well as fisheries researchers and conservation groups interested in reliable, geotagged catch data.
