Obsero Protocol Overview

Obsero is a decentralized observability protocol ensuring verifiable monitoring of Web2 and Web3 infrastructures through cryptographic proofs.

Core Principles

• Decentralization of monitoring
• Verifiable and immutable proofs
• Independence from centralized providers
• Transparency and auditability

Flow Overview

1. Probe executes a service observation (e.g., HTTP ping).
2. JSON proof is generated.
3. Proof is hashed (SHA256) and signed (ECDSA).
4. Proof is uploaded to IPFS.
5. Hash, CID, and timestamp are submitted to a smart contract on Base blockchain.
