Someone Out There Is Pretending to Be You

A verified badge proves you're real on one app. Impersonators don't stop at one app. UnaFonte is the one link your audience can check to know it's actually you - anywhere.

Someone Out There Is Pretending to Be You

Someone out there is pretending to be you

A fan gets a message. It's "you" — your photo, a handle one letter off from your real one, your exact tone of voice. There's a giveaway, an early-access drop, a "thanks for being a real one, here's a link just for you." They click. By the time you hear about it, the money's gone and so is some of the trust you spent years building.

This happens to creators every day. And the tools that are supposed to stop it mostly don't.

A verified badge stops at the edge of one app

A blue check tells someone you're real on a single platform. It says nothing about the dozen other places an impersonator can spin up your face and name in an afternoon — a copycat account, a lookalike Telegram channel, a "DM me on WhatsApp" scam, a fake you in someone's group chat.

The fakes don't live on one platform, so a per-platform badge was never going to win. What's missing is something that travels with you: one place your audience can check, no matter where they ran into "you."

That's what we built

UnaFonte is one link that proves a person, account, or message is actually you — anywhere.

You verify yourself once. We hand you a card that ties your real accounts together in a single source of truth. You put that link in your bios, your pinned posts, your email signature — wherever you want. When someone isn't sure whether they're talking to the real you, they check it.

Here's how it works:

  • Verify once. You confirm your identity with a government ID, handled securely by Stripe Identity. We never become the place your sensitive documents live.
  • Get your card. Your verified card links every account that's genuinely yours, so there's one canonical answer to "is this really them?"
  • Share it everywhere. The card is portable by design. It isn't tied to any single platform's rules, badges, or algorithm.

Active Ledger: say what's real, as it's happening

Scams move fast and lean on urgency. Active Ledger lets you get ahead of them. Post a real-time claim — "My only giveaway this week is on these two accounts" or "I will never DM you asking for crypto" — and it's there, timestamped, on a page your audience can trust. When a fan sees something suspicious, the truth is already published and waiting.

Trust Requests: when a fan isn't sure, they can just ask

Not every fan will track down your card on their own. Trust Requests flip it around: someone who's unsure about a message, an account, or a piece of content can send it in and get a clear, verified answer about whether it's really connected to you. It turns your most cautious fans into your best line of defense.

Built for an AI-native internet

More and more, it isn't a person checking whether you're real — it's an assistant doing it on their behalf. UnaFonte is built so AI assistants can verify authenticity directly through MCP, with public verification anyone can read and authenticated updates only you can write. As people lean on AI to filter what's real, your source of truth is already where they're looking.

The arms race you don't have to win

Watermarking, deepfake detection, fake-account whack-a-mole — these are races against tools that get better every month. UnaFonte takes the other path. Instead of trying to catch every fake, it gives the world one real thing to check against. That doesn't get easier to fake as the technology improves. It gets more valuable.
