Consumers have trust issues online. In an era of fake news, hacks and political activity across all platforms, trust seems more important than ever. “We can be trusted” does not cut it anymore: proving trust is the way forward.

WordProof Timestamp enables individuals, companies and enterprises to prove trust. Be transparent about what happens to the content on your website with the benefits of blockchain. Consumers’ trust will follow, making your brand more effective.

Extra Insurance on Ownership

The sooner your company starts timestamping content, the sooner you claim ownership and responsibility. You can claim absolute ownership by publishing content to the blockchain: no one can claim they were first.

WordProof’s Shopify app will be live before the end of the year. Follow them online to be the first to know.
