Proof that it existed.For all time.


Orphograph is an empirical notary.
We cryptographically prove a file existed by a certain time,
anchor that proof in Bitcoin, and make it independently verifiable.

Orphograph

Empirical Notary

Which door?

Place a file at the counter

Hashed locally. Only the fingerprints are submitted.

Free tier 3 anchors per 24 hours · no payment required

Anchors don't charge anything until you buy a Pack. The free tier is permanent.

First time?

Every file is hashed locally. One receipt covers the whole folder. Any one file later verifies independently with a small inclusion proof. Anchoring a dataset? →

Pick your situation

Local by design

Your browser hashes the file. The file itself is never transmitted.

Anchored to Bitcoin

Fingerprints go to multiple OpenTimestamps calendars for redundancy, later attested by a Bitcoin block.

Verifiable without the office

Downloadable proof files check with open-source software, independently of Orphograph.

How it works


  1. You select a file

    Your file never leaves your computer.

  2. We create a cryptographic fingerprint

    A SHA-256 hash is generated locally.

  3. We timestamp it 5 times

    Using 5 independent OpenTimestamps calendars.

  4. We anchor it in Bitcoin

    The combined proof is committed to the blockchain.

  5. You receive a receipt

    Keep it. Share it. Verify it. Forever.

Where the trust actually lives

  1. Orphograph

    issues the instrument

    The receipt, the proof files, and the office that prepares them.

  2. OpenTimestamps

    constructs the proof

    An open standard aggregates fingerprints into a Merkle tree (RFC 6962).

  3. Bitcoin

    provides permanence

    The tree's root is committed to a public chain no company controls.

The office may disappear.
The evidence does not.

Receipts verify with open-source tools, without our cooperation.

Version history. A revision can now be anchored so that it commits to the prior draft’s receipt, and the receipt page shows the chain — draft two provably committed to draft one. The chain proves the order of commitment only: never what changed, when the edit happened, or who made it. Like every receipt, it verifies with our service gone. Notes for integrators →

Receipts for agent output. AI agents anchor what they produce through the MCP server or the agent-output counter — the same portable, Bitcoin-anchored proof of when, issued to software. How operators use it →

Coming: pay-per-anchor over Lightning for agents — no account needed. Not yet open; the schedule of fees will record it the day it is.
