Smell Fraud? This Telegram App Was Built to Reward Whistleblowers

In brief

AlphaTON Capital and the Midnight Foundation introduced Vera Report, an anonymous reporting app integrated with Telegram’s ecosystem.
The app leverages technology like zero-knowledge proofs to preserve information provided by would-be whistleblowers, among features like scrubbing metadata.
Vera Report draws on CEO Brittany Kaiser’s experiences as a whistleblower, including outreach from “hundreds of people” wanting to make an impact against fraud.

AlphaTON CEO Brittany Kaiser views the Telegram-focused tech firm’s latest contribution to the messaging platform’s ecosystem as deeply personal. Since she blew the whistle on Cambridge Analytica’s internal practices in 2018, which involved the misuse of personal data and its role in influencing elections through psychological profiling, she told Decrypt that swaths of people have reached out yearning to follow in her footsteps. “I’ve had hundreds of people reach out to me from all over the world to ask about how they go through this,” she said. “Certainly, it was not straightforward for me.” Earlier this week, AlphaTON introduced a Telegram app called Vera Report alongside the Midnight Foundation, the organization stewarding a network oriented around privacy and data protection, a vision led by <a href="https://decrypt.co/resources/cardano" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 bJsyml" rel="noopener">Cardano</a> founder Charles Hoskinson. <div class="relative w-full"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet mx-auto"> <a href="https://twitter.com/AlphaTONCapital?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@AlphaTONCapital</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ATON&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$ATON</a> announces Vera Report : a whistleblower app on Telegram that protects your identity and, if applicable, facilitates getting you paid. The DOJ recovered $6.8B under the False Claims Act in FY2025 alone. $5.3B came from whistleblowers. 1,297 new cases filed… <a href="https://t.co/bblAgS67qV" data-wpel-link="internal">pic.twitter.com/bblAgS67qV</a> — AlphaTON Capital 💎 🚀 (@AlphaTONCapital) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlphaTONCapital/status/2028869869119193253?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March 3, 2026</a> </blockquote> </div> Vera Report functions as an anonymous reporting platform, enabling would-be whistleblowers to submit data to government agencies and law firms willing to represent them in potential lawsuits. But that information can’t be accessed without the permission of the person who provided it. That’s due to Vera Report’s use of so-called confidential computing and <a href="https://decrypt.co/resources/zero-knowledge-proofs-explained-learn-guide" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 bJsyml" rel="noopener">zero-knowledge proofs</a>, among other features like scrubbing metadata from documents, according to a press release. “There are very many different privacy features on here to make sure that people can fully anonymously submit evidence,” Kaiser said. “We’ve actually open-sourced the data so that everybody can contribute on what they actually need to see in this, either for whistleblowers to feel more comfortable or for different government agencies to actually make use of it.” <iframe style="border:0" src="https://myriad.markets/embed/market/will-the-iranian-regime-fall-before-october" width="100%" height="415px">
