How to use vBase Stamper

The vBase Stamper privately records the timestamp, author, and fingerprint (collectively known as provenance) of any file to a blockchain, making the provenance verifiable forever!

Step-by-Step Guide (or Watch the How-to Video)

  1. Sign in (or register for a free account)

  2. Click the "Browse for File" button, and select the file to stamp

  3. Click "Make a Stamp"

What Happens Once You Click "Make a Stamp"

The Stamper App submits your file's content ID (SHA3 hash) inside a blockchain transaction. Once this transaction appears on the blockchain, you receive a confirmation and stamp details, including a trusted tamperproof timestamp.

Important Note: Be sure to securely store a copy of your file. If you lose or change the stamped file, you can no longer verify its provenance.


User Notes

  • Your browser calculates your file's SHA3-keccak256 content ID on your local computer. Your files remain local and secure and are never seen by vBase.

  • Example of a stamp in 3rd party blockchain explorer.

  • Stamp details are stored on the Polygon blockchain and can be verified independently of vBase by using off-the-shelf blockchain query tools like Dune Analytics.

  • SHA3 is the standard algorithm used to secure banking and telecommunications networks, ensuring data security.
