Verifiable credentials, anchored to a public blockchain
Certificates people can actually trust.
Issue tamper-evident credentials anchored to a public blockchain — verifiable by anyone in seconds, and still verifiable even if ChainAnchor disappears.

Why a certificate needs more than a PDF
📄
Trivially forgeable
A PDF takes minutes to fake and a logo seconds to copy. Employers can't tell a real certificate from a counterfeit.
🐌
Slow to verify
“Did this person really graduate?” turns into emails to a registrar and days of staff time — multiplied across every request.
🔒
Locked to a vendor
Badge platforms verify by phoning home to their own servers. If they change terms or shut down, your “verifiable” credentials quietly stop working.
How it works
1
Verify your domain
Prove you control your institution's domain once. Your credentials then carry a verified-issuer badge.
2
Issue
One credential, or a whole cohort from a CSV — anchored to the blockchain in a single transaction. Files are hashed in your browser, never uploaded.
3
Share & verify
Recipients share a link, QR, or add it to LinkedIn. Anyone can verify it in seconds — no account needed.
Tamper-evident
Every credential is fingerprinted with SHA-256 and anchored on Base. Any change to the file is detectable — recompute the hash and compare.
Independently verifiable — no lock-in
Verification resolves against a public blockchain and an open-source verifier we don't control. If ChainAnchor vanished tomorrow, every credential we ever issued still verifies.
Trusted issuer & lifecycle
Credentials are tied to a domain-verified issuer, so a copied badge fails verification. Set expiry dates, and revoke single or in bulk when a qualification lapses.
Don't take our word for it
The whole point is that you don't have to trust us. Check any credential yourself, read the contract on-chain, or run the verifier offline.
Built for the way universities and certification bodies actually work
Single sign-on, automated joiner/leaver provisioning, your branding on every credential, and bulk issuance for whole cohorts — with the controls procurement asks about.
✓ Single sign-on (OpenID Connect) — Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, Okta
✓ SCIM provisioning with automatic deprovisioning
✓ Your logo & colours on every credential and proof page
✓ Bulk issuance, revocation & expiry from a CSV
✓ Org roles, pooled storage & an audit log
✓ REST API & webhooks for your systems
For individuals & teams
Not just for institutions — prove anything is yours
You don't need to be a university to use ChainAnchor. Anchor any file or capture a web page to prove it existed, unaltered, at a point in time — and start free.
🎨
Protect your work
Timestamp designs, manuscripts, code, or research so you can prove you had it first — tamper-evident, on a public chain.
📄
Timestamp documents
Contracts, agreements, and records — anchor the file (it's hashed in your browser, never uploaded) and share a verifiable proof.
🌐
Capture a web page
Freeze what a page said at a moment in time as tamper-evident evidence — for disputes, compliance, or your own records.
Anchors the static HTML content and a screenshot of the page to the blockchain.
A shareable proof page opens as soon as you capture. Full point-in-time archive — every image, stylesheet & font frozen on-chain. Free: up to 50 MB total. Pro: unlimited.
