What is a certificate of ownership?
It's a unique, Waipal-generated certificate that contains your name, details and the blockchain code of your uploaded document. This code can then be looked up on the blockchain to verify your ownership.
How does blockchain work?
Blockchain is a revolutionary technology formed by linking blocks of data that offers an unprecedented level of data protection:
- Blockchain Structure: Data is organized into blocks that are interconnected and secure.
- Data Immutability: Once data is recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be changed or deleted.
- Documentation and Encryption: Each block contains an encrypted record of your data, which is permanently integrated and stored in the system.
Thanks to these features, blockchain provides undeniable proof of the existence and ownership of your documents at a specific point in time, useful for both legal and personal purposes.

FAQ
What Is Blockchain?
Blockchain technology ensures that your information is secure, immutable and distributed among multiple users, eliminating hacking risks and providing the highest level of transparency.
At its core, blockchain is an advanced system for distributed data storage offering:
- Immutability: Once information is recorded, it cannot be edited or deleted, guaranteeing a strong level of security.
- Distributed Validation: Data isn’t stored in a central location but spread across many users who jointly verify each transaction, ensuring transparency and reliability.
- Encrypted, Time-Stamped Records: Your data is encrypted and sealed into a specific block, providing provable ownership of your documents at an exact moment in time.
Which Blockchain Does Waipal Use?
Waipal leverages the same core blockchain principles—secure, immutable and distributed storage—to protect your content.
By anchoring each file’s proof of ownership on a widely-recognized public blockchain, Waipal guarantees:
- Complete tamper-resistance
- Decentralised verification by numerous network participants
- Maximum transparency without compromising your privacy
How Does Waipal Protect My Content?
- Court-Verifiable Proof of Ownership: Every file you upload is immediately time-stamped on the blockchain and issued a digital certificate—legal evidence you can present in court.
- Private Storage & Encryption: After signing up, you get a private vault where you upload any content. Waipal encrypts each file and records only its cryptographic hash on the blockchain.
- Instant Verification: If a dispute arises, you produce your certificate (including your name, file details and its hash). Anyone can independently check the hash on the blockchain to confirm it matches, offering clear defence against unauthorized claims.
Is It Safe to Upload My Data to Waipal?
Yes. Every file you send is immediately encrypted with a unique key upon arrival at our servers. That key is then stored in a high-security digital vault, ensuring your data remains shielded from any external threat.
Can I Keep the Encryption Key Myself?
Not at this time. To prevent accidental loss (and thus permanent inaccessibility of your encrypted files), Waipal retains all encryption keys on your behalf. This policy maximises the security and availability of your data.

Who Has Access to My Content?
- Only You: Your files remain private; Waipal personnel cannot view them without your permission.
- Controlled Sharing: You choose recipients and can set time-limited access. Once that window closes, the file becomes inaccessible.
- Certificate Sharing: To prove ownership, simply share your certificate (not the file itself)—it contains all necessary details without exposing your document.
