Evidence verification · In development

Check the approved record.

The verification layer being developed follows a gold lot’s record from approval to publication. It is designed to compare received files with an approved version and make published corrections or disputes visible.

    Check

    Read the checkpoint. Compare the files.

Planned delivery: Chainlink CRE → Blockdor evidence registry. Only the fingerprint and minimal metadata are published; the evidence files stay private.

For buyers and auditors

One record. Two ways to check.

The planned workflow gives recipients a shared reference for the approved version. A checkpoint and a file comparison answer different questions.

  • Buyer: open the QR link on the paperwork to read the checkpoint’s approvals, publication and record history. The QR link alone does not compare evidence files.
  • Auditor: calculate the fingerprint of the supplied evidence bundle and compare it with the approved snapshot, then review the same published history.
  • A matching file can still belong to a corrected or disputed record. Read the comparison and the record’s status separately.

The evidence workflow · In development

From private record to recipient check.

The first three steps keep the evidence inside the private platform. Publication creates a reference that authorised recipients can check against their own files.

  • 1. Record — Capture custody, assay and export records in the platform.
  • 2. Freeze — Fix a snapshot at an agreed milestone with a clear cut-off time.
  • 3. Approve — Operations and evidence review each approve that snapshot with a separate key.
  • 4. Publish — The planned Chainlink CRE delivery carries the fingerprint and minimal metadata to Blockdor’s evidence registry. The registry enforces approval and record-history rules.
  • 5. Check — Read the checkpoint, compare files when supplied, and review the approvals and published history.

What the result means

Four facts to read separately.

A fingerprint protects the integrity of an approved record. Assays, custody documents and the people responsible for them remain essential to assessing the gold.

  • File match: supplied files match the approved snapshot’s fingerprint. This does not establish that their contents are accurate or complete.
  • Approvals: two distinct roles approved the snapshot with separate keys. This does not establish independent investigation or freedom from mistakes.
  • Publication: the fingerprint was published by the recorded time. That timestamp does not establish when a physical event happened.
  • History: published corrections or disputes can be read. The public record cannot show a newer dispute that has not yet been published.

Access to the record

The evidence stays with authorised recipients.

Weights, documents, locations and counterparties stay in Blockdor’s private platform. Evidence files are shared with authorised recipients, such as a buyer or an auditor.

  • The public reference is designed to contain the fingerprint, record status, role approvals and publication timestamp.
  • Public fields are being reviewed individually because timing and counts can also reveal activity.
  • The evidence registry covers record approval and publication. It involves no tokens, payments or escrow.

Versions and disputes

Keep the history visible.

In the planned workflow, a correction creates a new version linked to the earlier one. The earlier version and its approvals remain visible. A dispute is published against the relevant record.

  • For a corrected record, request the replacement files and compare them with the new checkpoint.
  • For a disputed record, review the evidence and contact the record provider. A matching fingerprint does not resolve a dispute.
  • If the checkpoint is unavailable, no comparison or latest-history result can be confirmed.

Development status · In development

The path to a working verification service.

The verification workflow and contract approach are defined. Implementation is the next step.

  • Test-network pilot: begin with one approved snapshot checked from exported files, then add public publication, corrections and disputes.
  • Chainlink delivery: the pilot is planned to publish directly first. Chainlink CRE delivery follows access approval and integration.
  • Production publication: follow an independent contract review. The planned file check is designed to work without Blockdor’s website; checking the latest history still requires access to the public record.
