Proof desk

Two counters, one rule: every answer is reached with SHA-256 and nothing else, so it still holds on the day elliptic curves stop being safe. Bring your keys to show they are yours, or bring a coin to audit its paperwork.

Prove you hold your keys

Desk A

A fresh challenge, answered by your next unused leaf. The ed25519 wallet stays out of it.

  1. 01
    Ask the desk for a nonce
    32 random bytes from the registry. Five minutes to answer, one attempt.
  2. 02
    Answer with one fresh key
    A WOTS signature computed in this tab. No wallet pop-up, no curve.
  3. 03
    Desk hashes up to your filed root
    SHA-256 only. Whatever the outcome, that key is retired for good.
Proof slip

Prints here after the desk checks your answer: 67 chains → 1 key → 10 levels → root.

Audit a coin

Desk B

Paste a mint or a receipt. The proof is rebuilt here, line by line, and stamped.

Audit slip

blank
  1. 01Rebuild the launch fingerprint from the fields the creator signed.
  2. 02Push each of the 67 signature chains up to its top and fold the tops into one leaf.
  3. 03Hash that leaf up ten levels; the result must equal the creator's root on file.
  4. 04For a mint, also match image bytes, names and the dev-vault address against what was signed.
