Digital documents are easy to copy and modify. Paperwork lets you anchor them on-chain, so anyone can verify that nothing has changed.
AI has made it trivial to generate convincing documents. What still matters is whether a document can be verified independently and over time.
Any modification to a registered document is immediately detectable.
Verification requires no account and no trust in Paperwork.
Proof remains verifiable years later, regardless of platform.
Digital documents are easy to copy, modify, and resend without leaving visible evidence. As paperwork moved online, trust quietly shifted from the document itself to the platform hosting it. That works until platforms change, accounts disappear, or authenticity is questioned years later. Paperwork exists to remove that dependency by anchoring proof outside any single system. The problem is not storage, it is long-term trust.
Paperwork creates a permanent, verifiable record that a specific document existed in a specific form at a specific time. It does this by registering a cryptographic fingerprint on the blockchain. Anyone can later verify that a document matches the original record without trusting us. If the document changes, verification fails immediately. Paperwork proves integrity, not intent.
Paperwork is for anyone who needs proof without relying on trust or authority. This includes individuals, companies, journalists, developers, and legal professionals. It is especially useful when documents cross organizational or legal boundaries. You do not need to understand blockchains to use it. If verification matters more than convenience, this is for you.
Email and PDFs prove delivery, not immutability. Screenshots and signatures are easy to copy and hard to verify later. Over time, evidence decays as platforms change and context disappears. Paperwork provides independent verification that does not rely on memory or reputation. Proof becomes objective instead of debatable.
Paperwork should be used before a document is shared, published, or relied upon. It is most valuable when documents need to remain verifiable months or years later. Contracts, agreements, disclosures, records, and signed statements are common examples. Once registered, the proof exists independently of future events. Paperwork is preventative, not reactive.
No. Paperwork does not determine legality, fairness, or accuracy. It does not verify identity, authority, or intent. It does not enforce agreements or prevent deception. Paperwork only proves that a document has not changed since registration. Meaning and judgment remain human responsibilities.
Paperwork does not store files, manage versions, or replace document workflows. It does not prevent someone from creating a bad or misleading document. It does not guarantee outcomes or resolve disputes on its own. Its scope is intentionally narrow. That limitation is what makes it reliable.
Paperwork does not store or inspect document contents by design. This minimizes data exposure and long-term liability. It also removes the need for trust in our infrastructure. Verification remains possible even if we disappear. Paperwork is built to outlive us.
Paperwork does very little on purpose. Each step exists to remove ambiguity, not add complexity. Here is the entire lifecycle, end to end.
When you submit a document or text, Paperwork never stores the file itself. Instead, it computes a cryptographic fingerprint that uniquely represents the content. Even the smallest change produces a completely different fingerprint. This ensures privacy while still enabling verification.
The fingerprint is written on-chain as an immutable record. This anchors the document to a specific moment in time. Once recorded, it cannot be altered or replaced. The blockchain acts as a neutral witness, not an authority.
You share the original document and a reference to its on-chain record. No accounts, permissions, or coordination are required. Anyone can independently verify the document at any time. Trust is replaced by math.
Verification recomputes the fingerprint from the document being checked. That fingerprint is compared against the on-chain record. If they match, the document is unchanged. If they do not, something was altered.
Proof does not depend on Paperwork staying online. As long as the blockchain exists, verification remains possible. No migrations, renewals, or platform trust are required. Time does not weaken the proof.
Paperwork does not validate truth, intent, or legality. It does not manage identity or enforce outcomes. These constraints keep the system simple and durable. Paperwork proves integrity, nothing more.
