WordProof gives content creators the tools to protect copyright and website visitors tools to verify information. Content, combined with its date, time, and URL is transformed into a unique string of characters called the hash. This is then published on a blockchain and through Wordproof timestamping content owners can show they did not tamper with their content. Also, as content changes and develops over time, history becomes verifiable for both humans and machines.
