Each snapshot you take records the content of your files — as cryptographic fingerprints, not the files themselves — with a timestamp. When the project is sealed, that sequence is written to the Polygon blockchain as a permanent record that cannot be altered.
The certificate states that a verifiable sequence of files was created before the seal date and anchored in a single, enduring blockchain record — evidence of provenance and of ownership of the intellectual property the files contain.
Proof therefore has three parts that anyone can check:
- The certificate and its package — what was recorded and when
- The blockchain record — independently verifiable via the seal transaction hash
- The owner's wallet — proven by signature, as described in Authenticating a wallet owner
Keep your certificate package safe; it's what you'll share when you need to demonstrate authorship.
