Who Uses ProveChain?

❌ Problem:

Someone copies your open-source code and claims they wrote it first

✅ Solution:

Create timestamped proofs of every release. If disputes arise, you have cryptographic evidence showing you had the code on a specific date.

Real-World Examples:

• •Prove you wrote code before a copycat project launched
• •Timestamp MVP releases for investor due diligence
• •Document contractor deliverables with exact dates
• •Establish prior art for patent applications

❌ Problem:

Need to prove when documents were created or received for litigation

✅ Solution:

Hash legal documents, contracts, evidence files, and correspondence. Create an immutable audit trail that holds up in court.

Real-World Examples:

• •Timestamp client deliverables and agreements
• •Prove document versions existed at specific times
• •Create evidence chains for litigation
• •Protect IP disclosures before filing

❌ Problem:

Worried someone will steal your manuscript or claim they wrote it first

✅ Solution:

Hash your drafts, manuscripts, and story ideas. Prove you had the work before publication or before someone else claims authorship.

Real-World Examples:

• •Timestamp book manuscripts before sending to publishers
• •Protect screenplay ideas before pitching to studios
• •Prove blog post originality in copyright disputes
• •Document article drafts before publication

❌ Problem:

Research integrity, data provenance, and publication priority disputes

✅ Solution:

Timestamp datasets, analysis code, and research findings before publication. Establish research priority and maintain audit trails.

Real-World Examples:

• •Prove dataset authenticity for peer review
• •Timestamp research code before publication
• •Document lab notebook entries
• •Establish priority in competitive research fields

❌ Problem:

Clients claim they had the design idea, or someone steals your portfolio work

✅ Solution:

Hash design files, mockups, and creative assets. Prove when you created specific designs in client disputes.

Real-World Examples:

• •Timestamp logo designs before client delivery
• •Protect UI/UX mockups in your portfolio
• •Prove design revisions timeline in disputes
• •Document concept art before pitches

❌ Problem:

Scope creep, timeline disputes, and "you never delivered that" arguments

✅ Solution:

Create proofs of every deliverable, every milestone. Show exactly what was delivered and when.

Real-World Examples:

• •Timestamp project deliverables for clients
• •Prove scope completion dates
• •Document change requests and approvals
• •Protect against payment disputes

❌ Problem:

Need to establish "date of invention" for patent applications

✅ Solution:

Timestamp invention disclosures, prototypes, and technical specifications. Establish prior art and prove conception dates.

Real-World Examples:

• •Document invention disclosure before filing
• •Prove prior art in patent disputes
• •Timestamp prototype CAD files
• •Establish conception date for patents

❌ Problem:

Investor disputes, co-founder disagreements, and trade secret protection

✅ Solution:

Timestamp pitch decks, business plans, and product roadmaps. Prove what was discussed when.

Real-World Examples:

• •Timestamp pitch decks before investor meetings
• •Prove MVP state during funding rounds
• •Document co-founder agreements
• •Protect trade secrets before disclosure

❌ Problem:

Someone releases a suspiciously similar game after you shared your idea

✅ Solution:

Hash game design documents, concept art, and code. Prove you had the idea first.

Real-World Examples:

• •Timestamp game design documents
• •Protect concept art and character designs
• •Prove game mechanics existed before copycats
• •Document alpha/beta versions

❌ Problem:

Beat theft, melody disputes, and "I wrote that hook" arguments

✅ Solution:

Hash MIDI files, stems, project files, and lyrics. Prove you created the work before release.

Real-World Examples:

• •Timestamp unreleased tracks and demos
• •Protect lyrics before collaboration
• •Prove production work in credit disputes
• •Document composition dates

❌ Problem:

Documentation versioning, attribution, and "who wrote this section" disputes

✅ Solution:

Timestamp documentation versions, API guides, and technical specs. Track contribution history.

Real-World Examples:

• •Prove documentation existed before product launch
• •Track technical specification versions
• •Establish authorship in team projects
• •Document API specifications before release

❌ Problem:

Need immutable audit trails for regulatory compliance

✅ Solution:

Create cryptographic proofs of code releases, configuration changes, and compliance documentation.

Real-World Examples:

• •Timestamp compliance reports for audits
• •Prove system configuration states
• •Document security patch deployments
• •Create audit trails for SOC2/ISO compliance
