Proof Stamp (WordPress)

Attach receipts to claims. Proof Stamp canonicalizes your post’s text, hashes it (SHA-256), and exposes a public Proof link so anyone can verify what you said and when you said it.

Why use this

Because edits happen and memories lie. A proof is a simple, portable receipt:

  • Canonical text → SHA-256 digest
  • Human-readable JSON metadata
  • Public audit trail via git (optionally mirrored to a ledger)

Best for posts, changelogs, research notes, and “we said X on Y” statements.


What it does

  • Canonicalizes your post content (stable normalization; no HTML fluff)
  • Computes a SHA-256 and stores minimal metadata (timestamp, URL, note)
  • Renders a Proof link on the page (viewer shows the hash + how to verify)
  • (Optional) Mirrors the proof to the public ledger: VibeAxis Proofs

Ledger repo: https://github.com/Vibeaxis/vibeaxis-proofs

It’s a proof of integrity and timing, not authorship. It shows what changed, not who wrote it.


How to use (editor flow)

  1. Publish or update your post in WordPress.
  2. Ensure the Proof Stamp widget is active on the post (block/shortcode/theme hook).
  3. View the post → click Proof to see the hash and verification steps.
  4. (Optional) Link to the matching entry in the VibeAxis Proofs ledger.

Verify a proof (no CLI required)

  • Open the post, click Proof, and follow the steps in the viewer; or
  • Copy the post’s canonical text, hash it with any SHA-256 site, and compare to the proof (and/or matching JSON in the ledger).

Privacy notes

  • The plugin stores hash + minimal metadata, not your full content.
  • Public ledger entries are append-only. Corrections add a new entry; they don’t rewrite history.
