This blockchain detail confirms that the SHA-256 fingerprint of the associated file was recorded on the Electra Protocol (XEP) blockchain at the stated UTC date and time. Because the record is immutable, it is strong proof of existence.
About this proof
What it is - A SHA-256 fingerprint is a unique digital fingerprint of a file. If one byte or letter changes, the fingerprint changes completely; collisions are effectively impossible. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2
When it matters - Use it before you publish, pitch, sign, send, or share ideas, designs, photos, contracts, reports, research data, source code, or proposals. It can help support intellectual-property claims by creating strong, independently verifiable proof that this digital file already existed at this date and time.

Where it lives - The fingerprint is recorded on the Electra Protocol (XEP) blockchain, distributed across hundreds of nodes worldwide and not held by CERTELO. Live network map: https://explorer.electraprotocol.network/#map. Verify: https://certelo.io/verify
