Hash in browser
Drag in a PDF, image, dataset, code archive, or creative draft. nStamp calculates the SHA-256 fingerprint locally in your browser, so the file stays on your device.
Screenshots can be faked. Metadata can be rewritten. Your file never leaves your device. nStamp calculates the SHA-256 hash in your browser and anchors only the fingerprint on NEAR, so anyone can verify it later.

Why it matters
Deepfakes, AI-generated content, and editable documents make simple claims hard to trust. nStamp gives teams a lightweight way to prove that a file existed in an exact form at a specific time — without sending the file to a server.
How it works
Three simple steps from raw file to independent proof.
Drag in a PDF, image, dataset, code archive, or creative draft. nStamp calculates the SHA-256 fingerprint locally in your browser, so the file stays on your device.
Sign a transaction and write only the SHA-256 fingerprint to the NEAR blockchain, creating a timestamped record tied to the stamping account.
Anyone with the original file can re-hash it and compare the result with the blockchain record. Match means the file was not changed.
Who needs it
Create a timeline for research, drafts, evidence packages, and AI-assisted work.
Timestamp sketches, layers, drafts, and releases to strengthen proof of authorship.
Timestamp outputs, prompts, model artifacts, and evaluation records without exposing private files.
Stamp datasets, methods, preprints, and milestones to create a verifiable trail.
Privacy model
nStamp does not need to read, upload, or store your files. The hash is calculated in your browser, and only the public fingerprint is anchored on-chain.

Stamp the fingerprint, not the file. Your browser creates the hash; NEAR stores the proof.
FAQ
No. Your browser calculates a SHA-256 hash locally. The public record is the fingerprint of the file, not the file itself.
It proves that a file with the matching SHA-256 fingerprint existed at or before the blockchain timestamp, and that the file has not changed since.
Yes. Verification works by hashing the original file again, in the browser or any SHA-256 tool, and comparing the result with the blockchain record.
For now, yes. We recommend Meteor web app. You can easily get some $NEAR at near.com
