Protect your work. Prove your document creation without handing it to anyone.

When someone copies your work, the case comes down to who had it first. And your own files cannot prove that. Get a dated record anyone can verify, without the file ever leaving your browser.

  • Your file is never uploaded
  • Recorded on Ethereum
  • Verifiable without us
Blockchain timestamping and digital notary service on Ethereum

Before you file

A patent or a registration takes months and costs thousands. Fix the date on the work while you are still deciding whether to file at all.

Before you pitch

The riskiest thing you do is show good work to someone who has not signed anything yet. Record what you sent, and when.

Before you hand it over

An NDA creates an obligation. It does not record what was inside the envelope. A timestamp fixes the contents and the date.

How it works

How to protect intellectual property in seconds.

1. Submit your file or information

Provide any file or information you want to timestamp. We never see your file — only its SHA-256 hash, computed in your browser.

2. We record it on the blockchain

We create a permanent blockchain record of your data using its unique hash.

3. Receive a lifetime certificate

You get a certificate containing everything needed to securely prove the timestamp of your data.

Protect your IPs

Three rights you already hold. Each one turns, in a dispute, on a date you can show someone else.

Your copyright

Copyright is yours the moment you create the work — no registration needed. What you cannot show is when. That is the part a dispute actually turns on.

Existence vs authorship

Your trade secrets

A secret only counts as one if you took reasonable steps to keep it and can say what it was. A dated fingerprint evidences both without revealing the contents.

Prove a secret without disclosing it

Your right to use your own work

Where prior use rights exist, earlier possession lets you keep using what you built even if someone else files first. Without a dated record you may be licensing back your own work.

Prior use rights

Why blockchain timestamping

No authority to trust, nothing to renew, nothing that can be altered.

We never see your file

The SHA-256 fingerprint is computed in your browser with the Web Crypto API. There is no endpoint that accepts the file itself. Open the hash tool and watch your network tab.

You do not need us to prove it

Each certificate points at one Ethereum transaction, with the payload hash written into the input data as readable text. If we shut down tomorrow, your certificate still verifies.

No subscription, no renewal

Buy the certificates when you need them. Every comparable service bills monthly whether you timestamp anything or not.

Why not just register it, or send it to a notary?

Every conventional option starts by asking for a copy of your document.

OptionThe catch
Copyright registrationRequires a deposit copy, costs more, and takes months.
A notaryHas to see the document, and charges per visit.
DocuSign and e-signature toolsKeep the file on their servers.
Emailing it to yourselfTrivially disputed, and repeatedly rejected in court.
BlockchainSignNever receives the file at all.Verifiable on the blockchain, even if we shut down.

Frequently asked questions

Do you keep my files on your side?
No. We never have access to your file — the hash is calculated directly in your browser. We store the hash, your email address and the description you write, because a certificate cannot be issued or verified without them.
Do I need cryptocurrency to use the service?
No. You pay by card, and we handle the blockchain transaction for you.
What will I get?
A lifetime certificate containing everything needed to prove a timestamp — your data and the hash stored on the blockchain. Note that a certificate proves the time of the blockchain record, not the file’s creation time, so it proves the file existed before that moment.
How is the information stored? Can anyone access my information?
Only a hash goes on the blockchain, so your file and its contents stay private. You prove the timestamp by presenting the certificate, which holds all the necessary information — including any email address you chose to add, so use one you are willing to show or leave the field empty.
How can I check the blockchain record?
We send you a link to your blockchain transaction, also included in your certificate, along with instructions for verifying and proving your timestamp independently, without using our service.
Can I prove a timestamp if your service closes?
Yes. Your certificate contains everything needed to prove your data via the blockchain, entirely independently of us.
What happens if I lose or modify the file?
If you lose the original file or the certificate, or you modify the file’s content — which changes its hash — you will not be able to prove the timestamp. Keep both safe and untouched.
What blockchain do you use?
We use Ethereum, one of the most popular and reliable blockchains available.
What kind of files can I use?
Any type of file. One certificate covers up to 10 files, so there is no need to zip them together — it costs one certificate either way. If a file is too large or too sensitive to open in the browser, compute its SHA-256 yourself and paste the fingerprint instead.
Why does this cost money when other tools are free?
Free tools batch many files into a single shared blockchain transaction, so proving yours means reconstructing an inclusion proof, and the free service usually has to still exist for that to be easy. Every certificate here gets its own Ethereum transaction, which costs real money to write. In exchange, verification is one click on a public block explorer and needs nothing from us.
Is a blockchain timestamp valid in court?
It is accepted as evidence in a growing number of jurisdictions, and it is never conclusive on its own. In March 2025 a French court relied on a blockchain anchoring certificate to establish anteriority in a copyright dispute; Italy recognises blockchain timestamps by statute; US rules on authenticating digital records already accommodate hashes. What a court weighs is the narrow fact the record establishes — that a file existed by a date and has not changed — alongside everything else in the case. See is a blockchain timestamp valid in court for the jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction picture, and proof of existence vs proof of authorship for what it cannot establish.
