About vtimestamp
Prove your documents existed. No uploads. No middlemen. No expiration.
What vtimestamp Is
vtimestamp is a free, open-source service that creates cryptographic proof your documents existed at a specific moment in time. The proof is stored permanently on the Verus blockchain, tied to your self-sovereign VerusID.
Your documents never leave your device — only a SHA-256 hash is published. Anyone can verify your timestamps without needing an account, trusting a company, or relying on any centralized service.
The mission is simple: make document timestamping accessible, private, and permanent. No subscriptions, no accounts, no gatekeepers, no databases that can disappear. The only cost is tiny Verus transaction fees — a 0.0001 VRSC base fee plus a small data-storage fee for the encrypted payload, totalling roughly 0.004 to 0.005 VRSC per timestamp.
Try it at vtimestamp.com — mainnet is live, and test.vtimestamp.com is available if you want to experiment first.
Built on Verus
vtimestamp is built on the Verus blockchain — a public, open-source, community-driven network. Unlike most chains, Verus builds identity, structured data storage, and other application primitives directly into the protocol — so services like vtimestamp work without smart contracts.
Native Identity (VerusID)
Self-sovereign identities built into the protocol. You own your VerusID outright — no rental, no recurring fees to keep it, and you can sell or trade it peer-to-peer on Verus's on-chain marketplace. Revocation and recovery are supported, so you can rotate keys without losing your timestamp history.
No Smart Contracts
Timestamps are a native Verus transaction (updateidentity) — no VM, no gas, no contract to deploy or audit. Cheaper, simpler, and fewer things that can go wrong.
VDXF Data Format
Standardized, typed envelope on the identity — a DataDescriptor under a namespaced VDXF key (vtimestamp.vrsc::proof.basic). Anyone can discover it by key and read it through one uniform path: decrypt, then parse JSON.
Low Cost
Transaction fees are roughly 0.004 to 0.005 VRSC per timestamp (a 0.0001 VRSC base fee plus a small data-storage fee for the encrypted payload). Costs are stable and predictable — no volatile gas markets.
Permissionless
Anyone can run a Verus node and verify timestamps directly. No company, council, or authority gates access to the data.
Open Source
vtimestamp is open-source software released under the MIT license, developed by vdappdev2 as a contribution to the Verus ecosystem. The code is publicly available, auditable, and open to community contributions.

MCP Integration
vtimestamp is accessible to AI agents through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This means tools like Claude and ChatGPT can verify and create timestamps on your behalf — no manual steps required.
