The universal proof layer for AI & the web

TimeProofs lets anyone prove that something existed at a moment in time — instantly, privately, and publicly verifiable. No blockchain, no gas, no friction. Just a hash, a timestamp, and truth anchored in time.

Why it matters now

AI systems can rewrite, generate, and remix faster than humans can react. In this infinite remix era, trust begins with an anchor in time. Proof of existence is becoming the new HTTPS — a baseline for authenticity, authorship, and audit.

What TimeProofs does

1. Hash locally
Compute a SHA-256 of any file, message, or output.

2. Timestamp via API
Send the hash to /timestamp, get back an ISO timestamp + HMAC signature.

3. Verify publicly
Anyone can confirm existence at /verify?hash=….

Built different:

  • No uploads — privacy by design
  • No blockchain — instant & predictable
  • Edge-native — sub-100 ms latency worldwide
  • Public verify endpoint — open & transparent

How it compares

Other systems rely on blockchains (slow, costly), e-sign platforms (heavy, proprietary), or content metadata (fragile, inconsistent). TimeProofs is universal: a neutral layer that fits anywhere — for AI outputs, datasets, contracts, or research.

What we add
  • Zero-upload privacy — we never see your data
  • Sub-100 ms edge verification via Cloudflare
  • Open standard — no lock-in, no token
  • Developer-first simplicity — one POST, one GET
  • AI / agent ready — SDKs, JSON, cURL, instant proof
Why we’ll stay ahead
  • 3 years of technical lead — born edge-native
  • Roadmap: SDK → ProofChain → distributed validation
  • Relentless minimalism — no protocol bloat, no hype
  • Privacy as default, not an add-on
  • Open verify layer — trust through transparency

The bigger picture

By 2030, AI-generated data will exceed all human content. When every file, post, and decision is machine-made, society will need a neutral timestamp backbone — a proof of when something first existed. That’s what TimeProofs is building.
