The Public Evidence Record.
Every Merkle root Veratum has anchored to Bitcoin. Public. Permanent. Verifiable by anyone, forever. This is what makes Veratum evidence trustworthy — not our word, but the Bitcoin blockchain.
Veratum evidence receipts are chained together into a Merkle tree. Every hour, the Merkle root of that tree is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps. These anchors are permanent and cannot be altered or removed — by Veratum or anyone else.
This means: if Veratum altered an evidence receipt after the fact, the anchor would no longer match the chain. Any party can detect this independently. This page shows every anchor Veratum has ever committed. It is the public record that prevents Veratum itself from being a single point of trust.
Anchor History — Public Bitcoin Record
Each row is a Merkle root committed to Bitcoin. Click “Verify anchor →” to independently verify the anchor on the Bitcoin blockchain. No Veratum account required.
How to verify an anchor independently
You do not need a Veratum account to verify these anchors. You need:
- The Bitcoin transaction hash shown in any row above
- The OpenTimestamps library (open source)
- A Bitcoin node or block explorer
# Install OpenTimestamps pip install opentimestamps-client # Verify an anchor ots verify merkle_root.ots # Or verify with Veratum CLI pip install veratum[verify] veratum-verify --anchor <tx_hash>
