The Indelible Standard¶
The Indelible Standard defines the best practices for publishing and verifying content using the Indelible Standard. By adhering to the Indelible Standard, creators can confidently publish tamper-proof content that is easily verifiable by anyone.
Attestations¶
Attestations are the core building block of the Indelible Standard. An attestation is an on-chain cryptographic proof that a specific piece of content existed at a certain point in time and was authored by a particular entity (what we call an Authority). By creating and publishing attestations, creators can establish a verifiable record of their work that can be independently confirmed by anyone, without relying on any centralized authority (hence, the publisher is the Authority).
On-chain attestations are immutable and publicly accessible. The following is an example of a reference to an attestation using the Indelible Standard:
