Family,
Four good things to share with you, and the first is a tool you can use today.
Our Chrome extension, NPC Verify, is live in the Chrome Web Store. We made a short film to introduce it:
Open NPC Verify from your toolbar, pick an image on the page, and press Check. It checks the image against our signed registry, runs a set of checks on the image file itself, right on your device, and offers an AI generation check when you ask for one. You get 10 free checks to start. Checking the same image again does not use another free check. Install it here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/npc-verify/obmponafhkmmopoicfoonaaokmmlhboc
If you try it, I want to hear from you. What did you check? What was clear, and what was confusing? Reply to this post or write to hello@npclabs.xyz. Real feedback from real people is how this gets better.
Second, some recognition for our work. NPC Labs is a finalist in the TechFinitive Awards 2026, in Emerging Technology Excellence. The category drew over 100 submissions, and the judges put us on the shortlist of five. Part of the decision is a public vote, worth 5% of the outcome. If you would like to support us, go to the article page, select NPC Labs in the voting form, and add your email: https://www.techfinitive.com/techfinitive-awards-2026-emerging-technology-excellence/
Third, NPC Labs is now a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program, NVIDIA's program for startups building with its technology. The member badge is live on our site, npclabs.xyz. We are putting it to work on the verified agent and verified goods infrastructure we are building.
And last, a conversation. I sat down with Steve Cross on Success Stories to talk about NPC Labs and the question underneath our work: in an age when AI can make almost anything, how do we prove what is real? The episode is called "Can Blockchain Help Prove What's Real in the Age of AI?" and it is live now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS-kkK9QHB0
Thank you for following the build and for standing with us.
Bayo Okusanya
Founder, NPC Labs
