Check any record

Fetch a record from the public API — e.g. /api/v1/projects/<id-or-slug>/manifests/<version> or /api/v1/events/<id> — then paste it with its hash below. Or use your own tooling: the format is RFC 8785 canonical JSON hashed with SHA-256.

Record JSONExpected SHA-256 hash

What a matching hash proves — and what it does not

It proves integrity: the record has not changed since it was hashed and stored.
It does not prove truth: a team-reported claim stays a claim. Check its provenance and evidence.
Anchored records do not depend on this platform: registered projects commit hashes to the Provenant registry (0xb4a2b3949e21406fd7a13752f717785c01cdc507 on Bot Testnet). Read getManifest or getProjectEvent from the contract and compare with 0x + the SHA-256 above. Records that are not anchored are only as trustworthy as this platform.

Specification: canonical serialization & hashing.
