“Every record in the UplitAU Publishing Registry now carries an independent Ethereum blockchain timestamp that is displayed as a Chain of Evidence line on its certificate, closing the proof gap identified in Paper 4.”
PropositionsEvery record in the UplitAU Publishing Registry now carries an independent Ethereum blockchain timestamp that is displayed as a Chain of Evidence line on its certificate, closing the proof gap identified in Paper 4.
ConstraintsThe anchoring mechanism must operate without requiring authors, publishers, or verifying parties to hold or transact cryptocurrency, with Australian dollar card payments sufficient to inherit blockchain evidence from the next anchor cycle.
MechanismsA single zero-value Ethereum transaction divides meaning between monetary value and registration function, with public verification delivered through Etherscan's API and Cloudflare's edge infrastructure rather than custom deployed smart contracts.
BoundariesThe system applies only to records covered by the UplitAU Publishing Registry and does not extend the on-chain deployment architecture described in AU2018100999, replacing that approach with read-layer verification against existing public infrastructure.
