About Chainpoint

Chainpoint is an open standard for anchoring data to a blockchain. It creates a timestamp proof for any data, file, or series of events, allowing users to verify data integrity and existence without a trusted third-party.

Chainpoint is an open standard from Tierion for creating timestamp proofs by anchoring data to a blockchain. It is primarily aimed at developers who need to ensure the integrity and prove the existence of data, files, or processes. The system works by hashing data, aggregating these hashes into a Merkle tree, and then anchoring the Merkle root to the Bitcoin blockchain. This provides a scalable and secure method for creating verifiable, third-party-independent proofs. Tierion provides a suite of developer tools, including a Node API, a JavaScript client, and a CLI, to facilitate integration. The service is presented as a foundational technology, with no public pricing, suggesting a focus on custom implementations and partnerships rather than off-the-shelf SaaS subscriptions.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Creates an immutable, verifiable timestamp proof for any data by anchoring it to the Bitcoin blockchain.
  • Allows for data verification without reliance on a trusted third-party.
  • Provides open-source developer tools, including a JS client and CLI, for integration.
  • Scales to handle large volumes of data by aggregating hashes into a single blockchain transaction.
Cons
  • The product is a technical standard and toolset, not a user-facing application, which may be confusing for non-developers.
  • No pricing information is publicly available.
  • The vendor website, Tierion.com, also promotes a 'Proof' product that 'launches soon', which could create brand confusion.
