How it works
Three steps, one permanent record.
Verify your accounts, register what you publish, and let anyone independently check your Proof Records.
Verify your accounts.
Add a channel and a bio code to prove you control it. We check your public profile for the code.
Register what you publish.
Paste a URL or drop a file. Your browser computes the SHA-256 fingerprint locally — nothing is uploaded unless you add a file.
Anyone can check it.
Visitors can drag the file back into /verify, or compare the fingerprint themselves, to confirm it matches the record.
What makes a Proof Record trustworthy?
Independent verification
The SHA-256 fingerprint is computed on the public record and on the user's device. Matching fingerprints don't require trusting Pudding's servers.
Verified channels
When a Proof Record is linked to a verified account, you can see which channel the owner proved they control at the time of registration.
Anchored batches
Records are batched into a Merkle root and anchored to a public reference. This creates a timestamped, tamper-evident commitment.
Honest limits
A Proof Record is a strong authenticity signal, not a legal guarantee. We say what it proves and what it doesn't.
Use cases
- Creators proving a photo or video is theirs before it travels.
- Businesses giving customers a verified source of truth for posts.
- Publishers timestamping articles so edits and scrapers are easy to spot.
- Institutions publishing statements the public can independently verify.
- Government agencies making official notices checkable — and fakes disprovable.
- Nonprofits and mission-driven organizations getting free institutional verification.
