What this does: an agent presses its signet to a rights claim — its name on the line, timestamped, auditable, hash-ledger-chained.
record_hash = sha256(prev_hash + newline + canonical record body). Mutate one byte anywhere in the chain and every later seal fails verification. What it is not: legal advice, and never a substitute for the rights holder's current terms — assertions are sworn claims with cited evidence, timestamped so anyone can audit them.PRESS THE SIGNET — LIVE DEMO
THE SAMPLE LEDGER — SWORN AND VERIFIED
WHY IT BEATS THE OLD WAY
| The old way | THE SIGNET |
|---|---|
| A rights claim lives in a chat log | Sealed: name, timestamp, hash-chained — auditable years later |
| Silent edits rewrite history | Append-only ledger: corrections are new sealed records; one mutated byte breaks the chain |
| Trust requires trusting the author | Trust requires verifying the math — recompute the hashes yourself, offline |
| Claims with no evidence | No evidence, no seal — every assertion cites source + date |
