Hey PH! ๐
I'm Marc, creator of Arkiv.
Proving that you created a design first often turns into a messy 'he-said-she-said'. You either have to deal with slow, outdated copyright paperwork, legacy systems, or you try to timestamp it by uploading it somewhere online, which is a massive legal disaster if you're working on unreleased products or under an NDA.
Arkiv solves this instantly. Itโs a zero-upload digital notary built specifically for visual creators.
Unlike other IP platforms that are bloated with features, Arkiv aims to keep things simple, fast, and fairly priced so you, as a creative, can get back to doing what you do best, whilst having peace of mind that you have secured undeniable proof of your work, being yours, at an exact moment in time.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
Drop any design file into Arkiv. Instead of uploading your file to our servers (like other IP registries can do), Arkiv calculates a mathematical fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash) entirely locally in your browser. We then anchor that unique fingerprint to the Base blockchain with an immutable timestamp. Your actual pixels never leave your machine. You keep the original file, and we give you an undeniable, un-hackable receipt.
The platform features:
๐ Zero-Upload Privacy - Your files never touch our servers. It's 100% NDA-compliant.
๐ค Invisible Web3 - Powered by Privy. No seed phrases, gas fees, or complex crypto wallets to manage. Just log in securely with Google or Email.
๐ Human-Readable Certificates - Instantly export a professional PDF Certificate of Provenance that clients and lawyers can actually understand.
โ One-Click Public Verifier - If a dispute arises, anyone can verify the authenticity of a file by dropping it into our verifier to independently confirm the math against the public ledger.
A few ways creatives are using it:
Freelancers use it to certify their concepts and pitch decks before hitting send. It secures your ideas so clients can't take your concepts and execute them with a cheaper agency.
Agencies use it at the final handoff to create a definitive timestamp of the exact, byte-for-byte deliverables provided at the end of a contract.
Visual Creators use it to certify their work minutes before posting to X, Dribbble, or Behance, mathematically securing their intellectual property before the internet gets its hands on it.

@mrcndrwย How tamper-proof is the hash against someone trying to reverse-engineer or fake a file to match an older timestamp?
