AI makes creation trivial. Text, code, design, strategy, in seconds. But one thing AI does not create: independently verifiable proof of when something existed. Reproducing is now cheaper and easier than creating. Chronology becomes contestable at the moment it matters most.
The universal problem was known. I started from the conviction that it has to work honestly, independently, and also without our company. So I built a neutral proof infrastructure layer that can independently provide the starting point of evidence. Even independent of us. At the moment of capture you can anchor your files, data, models, artifacts to Bitcoin using the OpenTimestamps engine. OTS and Bitcoin are existing primitives. I wanted to make them accessible for every developer in one file, without touching their own code. It became 12 lines of YAML. Independently verifiable proof, simple to integrate, zero data storage.
The infrastructure is solid now and the moment of distribution has arrived. That's why I'm posting this on HN. I don't want to have to sell this to companies. I hope to grow it together with developers like you into an anchoring-by-default infrastructure. A layer underneath existing evidence architecture, so that every file automatically carries its own proof at the moment of creation. Proof that may be needed later in case of dispute.
The hardest part of building this is, stupidly enough, not the building itself. You can always improve that, especially with a community like this one. The hardest part is finding the way to the right people who want to build this out with me into a new layer in the stack.
The core API is live at itexisted.app so anyone can experience how it works. We also run it in our own GitHub environment. Every commit is anchored to Bitcoin directly. The case study is on our site.
