Chainpoint
Chainpoint is a global network for anchoring data to the Bitcoin blockchain.
About Chainpoint
Chainpoint is an open standard and global network for anchoring data to the Bitcoin blockchain to create timestamp proofs. It links data to the blockchain so that documents, records, or digital signatures can be independently verified without relying on a central authority.
Developers can integrate Chainpoint through a JavaScript client library, a command-line interface for creating and verifying proofs, and a REST API for interacting with a Chainpoint Gateway. Gateways can be run privately for a single application or operated publicly. Documentation and open source verification tools are provided to support integration.
The product is aimed at organizations and developers building audit trails for business processes, timestamping documents and data, adding blockchain proofs to digital signatures, issuing verifiable education credentials, or demonstrating regulatory compliance.
