About

What is CERTELO?

CERTELO provides proof of existence: a timestamped, blockchain-verified record that your document existed at a specific moment in time. This can support patent applications, copyright claims, and prior art documentation.

Unlike traditional notarization, CERTELO never receives your file. We fingerprint it entirely in your browser using SHA-256, then record that fingerprint on the Electra Protocol blockchain, a public, decentralized network confirmed by hundreds of independent nodes worldwide.

Even if CERTELO disappeared tomorrow, your certificates would remain verifiable forever. Anyone can verify your certificate using just the SHA-256 hash; no account or service required.

Built on Electra Protocol (XEP)

How we prepare our articles

Certelo Blog articles are produced by the Certelo team members and then enhanced and spell checked with assistance of AI. We publish them under the Certelo name.

Our articles explain the service and its limits. They are not legal advice. A blockchain timestamp does not by itself prove authorship, ownership or a legal right, but it does provide evidence that a matching document existed by the time of certification.
