Content Provenance Infrastructure

Every article,
permanently
proven.

BlockContentSeal generates a cryptographic certificate for every piece of content you publish — anchoring authorship, timestamp, and integrity on an immutable public record that anyone can verify, instantly.

Content Hash (SHA-256)

The Problem
94% of readers
can't distinguish
authentic from manipulated.

In an era of AI-generated content, synthetic replicas, and malicious re-edits, readers and platforms can no longer trust a URL alone. The journalism you've built your reputation on can be copied, altered, and redistributed — with no way to prove which version is original. Your byline isn't enough anymore.

Until now.
How It Works

Simple to install.
Permanent by design.

BlockContentSeal works inside your existing content workflow. Your editorial team never changes how they work — the seal happens automatically at publish time.

1
Publish
Write and publish as you normally would. BlockContentSeal integrates via a lightweight API — no new tools, no new steps for your editorial team.
2
Seal
The moment your article publishes, BlockContentSeal generates a cryptographic fingerprint and anchors a certificate to the blockchain. This runs in background in minutes and requires zero action from your team.
3
Verify
Any reader, journalist, or platform can verify the article's authenticity with one click — confirming the original author, exact timestamp, and that the content hasn't changed since publication.
Integrations

Integrate with
any platform.

BlockContentSeal is available via a clean REST API. If your platform can make an HTTP request at publish time, it can have content provenance in production today.

Infrastructure-Grade Trust

Built to be trusted
by the institutions that matter.

Independently Verifiable

Certificates are anchored on public blockchains. Anyone can verify them without involving BlockContentSeal — including after we're gone. Not even we can alter a sealed record.

Read the architecture →
Cryptographically Sealed

SHA-256 content hashing means any alteration — even a single character — invalidates the certificate and flags the content immediately. Mathematical certainty, not policy.

Open Standards (C2PA)

BlockContentSeal is built on and compatible with C2PA — the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity. No proprietary lock-in. The emerging industry standard.

Use Cases

Built for how real
newsrooms operate.

When seconds matter, proof matters more.

Breaking news is when content gets copied, misquoted, and replicated fastest. BlockContentSeal creates an unimpeachable timestamp at publish — giving you a permanent record of exactly what you reported, and when, before anyone else could have altered the narrative.

When a story goes viral and variants start circulating, your original is provably yours.

Protect your newsroom →
2.3s
Average time from publish to sealed certificate. Zero action required from your editorial team.

Your story, provably original — across every platform.

Wire content is republished dozens of times before end-of-day. BlockContentSeal gives the originating outlet a permanent proof-of-origin that travels with the content — making it unambiguous which publication created the story and when.

400+
Average number of republications a major wire story receives. Each one traceable to your original.

Distinguish human journalism from synthetic replicas.

AI can generate articles that look like yours. It cannot generate a certificate that was anchored on-chain before the AI existed. BlockContentSeal's provenance timestamp is the one signal AI-generated impersonators can never fake.

Give readers one-click confidence in what they're reading.

The embeddable BCS verified badge gives readers immediate confidence — without requiring any technical knowledge. One click shows the full provenance record: who wrote it, when, and that it hasn't changed.

FAQ

Questions we get
from serious buyers.

Certificates are anchored on public blockchains. They exist independently of us. Even if BlockContentSeal closed tomorrow, every certificate ever issued would remain verifiable — by anyone, forever — directly against the chain. We cannot revoke them. That's the point.
No. We're a content provenance infrastructure company. Blockchain is the mechanism we use for tamper-proof permanence — it's infrastructure, not the product. Our customers are journalists, editors, and engineering teams at news organizations. They never interact with the blockchain directly.
Any party can verify any sealed article using the public BCS Verification API — or by checking the blockchain record directly. No account, no subscription, no interaction with BlockContentSeal required. Verification is permissionless by design.
Digital signatures verify that you sent something. They don't create a permanent public record independently verifiable by readers, aggregators, or anyone without access to your keys. BlockContentSeal creates a permanent public record — verifiable by anyone, forever, without trusting us or you.
Three lines of code in your publish handler via our REST API. Average integration time for a new customer is under two hours.
We compute a canonical SHA-256 hash of the content payload — article text plus metadata — and store the hash (not the content itself) on-chain, along with author ID, ISO 8601 timestamp, and article URL. The content never leaves your systems.
No — and that distinction matters. BlockContentSeal doesn't evaluate whether content was written by a human. It proves when content was published, by whom, and that it hasn't changed. Provenance, not detection. These are fundamentally different problems.
BlockContentSeal is signing the content on the blockchain. Please contact sales for specific pricing. Paid plans scale with monthly article volume. Enterprise pricing includes SLA guarantees, compliance reporting, and dedicated support. No credit card required to start.
