What it means to anchor a document hash to a public blockchain — and when it's worth the trouble.
Take the SHA-256 hash of your signed document. Write that hash (or a Merkle root containing thousands of hashes) into a transaction on a public blockchain. The blockchain timestamps the hash and makes it impossible to alter without leaving a trail.
Three years later, anyone holding the original document can re-hash it, find the on-chain transaction, and prove the document existed in exactly this form at the moment of anchoring — without trusting the signing platform.
High-stakes contracts (M&A, IP assignments, founder agreements) where the platform might not exist in 10 years.
Documents you may need to authenticate to a hostile counterparty.
Regulated records that must be tamper-evident for audit purposes.
DocFila does not currently anchor documents to a blockchain. What it does today: a SHA-256 fingerprint of every signed document, a PKCS#7 digital signature using a per-user certificate, and a hash-chained audit trail covering every view, click and signature event. Verification is public and free at docfila.com/verify — no DocFila account required. If on-chain anchoring ships, this page will say so.
