What does TideMark actually do?
TideMark takes public tide-gauge and sea-level readings, timestamps and hashes them on-chain, and opens the door for a global community to verify or flag anomalies — turning fragmented coastal data into one auditable feed anyone can check.
What is TMRK used for?
TMRK is the access credential for the verification market. You need it to submit a verification job or file a dispute on a flagged reading, and verifiers whose calls match consensus draw their share of a fixed task-reward pool paid in TMRK.
Where does the underlying tide data come from?
The indexer pulls from public tide-gauge and sea-level station feeds already published by national hydrographic offices and intergovernmental ocean-monitoring networks — open data sources, made checkable and permanent.
Who is this built for?
Coastal engineers, climate researchers, open-data builders, NGOs, and residents of coastal and island nations who want a fast, independent cross-check on the tide data that shapes flood planning and coastal safety decisions.
Do I need technical skills to verify a reading?
No. The dashboard presents each reading in plain view alongside its hash and timestamp, so anyone can compare it against the source feed, stake TMRK, and submit a confirm or flag call in a few clicks.
Can I see the verification history?
Yes. The anomaly log is downloadable and the full hashing and verification methodology is published for independent review, so every call made on the network is checkable by anyone, anywhere.
