Proof of human authorship

A permanent record of the creation process of human-made art.

Chronicled.art captures the sessions behind your work — the process files, recordings, and notes it produced — hash-chains them, and timestamps the whole timeline on Bitcoin. What remains is a public certificate that a human made it, over real time.

How a work is chronicled

The full method →
01

Chronicle the session

Work as you always do, then upload what each session produced — photos of the piece in progress, a recording, project files, notes. Add sessions over days or months; each is dated the moment it happens and locked to the ones before it, so the story of the work can never be rearranged.

02

Seal, anchor, watermark

When you finish, the whole history is sealed into one permanent record and stamped on the Bitcoin blockchain — a public clock nobody can wind back. The finished image is invisibly watermarked for you. Your files stay private; only the certificate is public.

03

Verify & resolve

Anyone you share the certificate with can watch the piece take shape, see when each session happened, and check the record for themselves — no need to take our word for it. And if a copy of your art turns up anywhere, the Watermark Lab traces it back to your certificate.

An honest note

On "impossible to fake."

No system can make forgery literally impossible — a timeline of a session proves a progression happened over time, not by itself that a human made it. Chronicled's security comes from binding that timeline to real process evidence (live input, a partner-tool attestation, or the uploaded source files), then making any later tampering cryptographically detectable and any backdating impossible.

The goal is to make faking prohibitively expensive and easy to detect — and to give honest creators a public, durable receipt.
