The problem

Truth is now a premium commodity

Generative AI, deepfakes, and centralized platforms have made "what existed, when" genuinely hard to prove — and harder to trust.

🎭

Deepfakes

Content can be fabricated, altered, or denied. Timestamps matter more, not less.

⚖️

Slow notarization

Traditional notaries are slow, expensive, and paper-era.

🏦

Centralized vaults

DocuSign & co. demand your confidential files, on a subscription, on their say-so.

The solution

Proof becomes math on Bitcoin

🔒

1 · We can't see it

Your file never leaves your device. Only a SHA-256 fingerprint is stamped — locally, in your browser.

🛡️

2 · You can check us

Every claim carries a proof you verify yourself with open tools. No account. No KYC.

⛓️

3 · It outlives us

A portable .ots receipt anchored to Bitcoin proof-of-work verifies forever.

Your document. Your hash. Bitcoin's permanence.

How it works · zero-knowledge

Five steps to immutable proof

1️⃣

Hash

Your browser computes the fingerprint. The original bytes never leave your device.

2️⃣

Stamp

Only the 64-char hash goes to three independent OpenTimestamps calendars.

3️⃣

Anchor

Calendars merge hashes into a Merkle tree, committed to Bitcoin.

4️⃣

Confirm

~10 minutes later, a Bitcoin block permanently seals the commitment.

5️⃣

Prove

Download the .ots. Verify with open tools + a block explorer — forever.

🧾

No trust required

The security comes from Bitcoin's proof-of-work — not from any company.

The architecture

A sovereign stack, four planes deep

Higher planes evolve without ever invalidating the proofs beneath them.

Market opportunity

A first-mover in an exploding category

Notarization & legal attestation ~$5B+/yr (still paper-era) · Legal tech ~$27B+ · AI provenance & deepfake defense: brand-new greenfield. Bitcoin-anchored zero-trust proofs have <1% penetration.

The next chapter · proof of authorship

Prove it existed.
Prove you made it.

Add your private key to an OpenTimestamps anchor and "this file existed" becomes "this file existed, and I am the one who created it."

🔑

Key-held

Non-custodial — the signature lives on your key, never our server.

🔓

Trustless

Verifiable by anyone, forever — no notary, no company, no permission.
