How It Works

Trademarks NFT anchors proof of creation on Polygon by combining local hashing, IPFS storage, and an immutable on-chain registry record.

1) Hash locally (SHA-256)

Your file is hashed in your browser. The hash is a unique fingerprint used for verification.

2) Store file + metadata on IPFS

The file and its metadata are pinned to IPFS so the record can reference a permanent content address (CID).

3) Register on-chain

The registry stores the IP type, SHA-256 hash, timestamp, and metadata URI on Polygon Mainnet. Once written, the record is immutable.

4) Verify publicly

Anyone can verify the record using the on-chain data (and optionally IPFS). This provides an objective timestamp and reference.
