Timestamp datasets and results for research integrity.
Reproducibility and priority both depend on fixing what you had and when. Blockchain notarization gives researchers tamper-evident, independently verifiable timestamps for datasets, code, and results.
Why it works here
Registering the fingerprint of a dataset or a pre-analysis plan proves it existed before you saw the outcomes — a defense against accusations of p-hacking or post-hoc revision — and establishes priority for a finding. Anchoring the exact data files also strengthens reproducibility: anyone can confirm the data used later matches the data notarized.
Because files are hashed locally, even sensitive or embargoed data can be notarized without exposure. For large collections, timestamp a manifest of file hashes. Automate it in a pipeline via the API.
Common scenarios
Pre-register an analysis plan
Notarize the plan before collecting outcomes to evidence it predated the results.
Fix a dataset for reproducibility
Anchor the exact data so others can confirm they are using the same bytes.
Establish a discovery’s priority
Timestamp results to evidence when a finding existed.
How to notarize for this
Fingerprint your file in your browser, pay $25 in USDC/USDT, and receive a certificate anchored to Base and Bitcoin that anyone can verify independently. Read the full process or the step-by-step guide.
