Most CAPTCHA systems today are built around surveillance — tracking users, fingerprinting browsers, and collecting data in exchange for access. Cap rejects that model.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Cap is designed around a few core ideas:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Privacy by default** — no trackers, no third-party requests, no hidden profiling.
|
|||
|
|
- **Simplicity over complexity** — no image labeling, no click-the-fire-hydrant puzzles.
|
|||
|
|
- **Speed matters** — fast to render, fast to solve, fast to validate.
|
|||
|
|
- **User-first** — designed to be unintrusive and accessible, with invisible and floating modes.
|
|||
|
|
- **Self-hostable, not centralized** — you control the infra, tokens, and behavior.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
By using proof-of-work instead of user behavior analysis, Cap shifts the burden from identity to computation. That means anyone can prove they’re human — no cookies, no accounts, no friction.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Cap is what a CAPTCHA should’ve been all along: **simple, honest, and yours.**
