Anyone can make a new account.
Nobody can make an old one.

Patina reads the history you already have, from accounts you already own, and turns it into proof that a real person has been here for years. Nothing is stored. You approve exactly what it sees, and you can take it back whenever you want.

The one thing that cannot be bought

Followers can be bought. Posts can be bulk uploaded. Time cannot.

Somebody running a thousand fake accounts can buy every signal the internet normally uses to decide whether you are real. Followers, activity, a filled-in profile. All of it is for sale.

What they cannot buy is a decade. So Patina scores the things that only exist because time passed, and treats everything else as nearly worthless until there is real history sitting underneath it.

Age

34

The oldest date we can prove across everything you connect. A YouTube account opened in 2013 is thirteen years you cannot go back and manufacture.

Continuity

26

How many separate months your history actually touches. A real life leaves marks scattered across years. A farmed account is built in one afternoon, and it shows.

Depth

18

The things you actually made. Posts, videos, repositories. Tedious to fake at volume, so it counts, but it counts less than time.

Standing

10

Other people and organisations treating you as real. Weighted lowest on purpose, because followers are the easiest thing on this list to buy.

Breadth

12

Independent accounts telling the same story. Faking one is easy. Faking four, each with its own decade behind it, is a different job entirely.

How it works

01

Connect one account

Sign in with Google, Apple or an email code. No wallet, no download, no seed phrase. Start with one source and add more if you want a higher score.

02

We read only what you approve

Your data lives in your own store, not ours. You approve a specific list, we read it once, and you can revoke it at any time. We never see a password.

03

You get a number, and it travels

A score out of a hundred, broken down so you can argue with it. Other apps can check it without you doing any of this again.

Why there is money in it

Half of anything Patina wins goes back to the people who made it happen.

Patina is competing in the Vana Cup, a public contest scored on a live leaderboard. If it places, half the winnings are split among the top 50 people by Patina score. Everyone eligible gets one share, and every real person you bring gets you another.

Paid in VANA by 31 August 2026.

Being straight with you: second place pays a tenth of first, and if Patina finishes sixth there is nothing to split at all. The leaderboard is public, so you can check where it stands whenever you like. This is a thing we either pull off together or we do not.

If Patina wins

about $62

~50 VANA per share

If Patina is 2nd to 5th

about $6

~5 VANA per share

The full rules

Read the terms

Including how it can go wrong

Dollar figures assume 50 shares and a VANA price of $1.23 on 28 July 2026. The reward is paid in VANA and its price moves, so treat these as a sense of scale rather than a quote.

What Patina cannot do

It cannot prove you are a person

It reports how much real history it can see. A high score means a long, messy, human-looking trail. That is evidence, not a certificate, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.

A low score is not an accusation

If you are nineteen, or you keep your accounts private, or you simply do not post much, you will score low and you are not doing anything wrong. Absence of evidence is exactly that.

Someone could buy an old account

Aged accounts do get sold. That costs real money, and the price climbs with age, which is rather the point. It turns a free attack into an expensive one. It does not make it impossible.
