Witness Chain protocol
Overview
Witness Chain is a decentralized verification and coordination layer for DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks). It provides foundational proof systems — Proof-of-Location and Proof-of-Bandwidth — to validate off-chain physical attributes and operates as an Actively Validated Service (AVS) on EigenLayer, enabling trustless verification of physical infrastructure and real-world claims.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Witness Chain connects to 5 tracked entities, most strongly to EigenLayer, Ethereum, EtherFi.

Frequently asked questions
What is Witness Chain?
Witness Chain is a decentralized verification layer and attention market for DePIN, providing a 'proof-of-anything' mechanism to validate off-chain data.
What chain does Witness Chain run on?
Witness Chain is deployed on Ethereum and operates as an Actively Validated Service (AVS) on EigenLayer.
What is Witness Chain connected to?
Witness Chain restakes on EigenLayer, backs the AVS EtherFi, and integrates with Near Protocol.
