Catch-and-release fishing competitions, no scale needed.
RíoRank turns every catch into verifiable proof: the fish is measured on a rigid ruler, photographed with the in-app camera and its release is recorded on video. The fish goes back to the river and the ranking stays fair.
The CPVR protocol
How a catch gets validated, step by step.
