1. Compute SHA-256 of OTSCanonicalRecord value → must equal OTSHash 2. Open OTSProofURL → extract Bitcoin block number → must equal OTSBitcoinBlock 3. GET OTSBitcoinBlockVerifyURL → returns the Bitcoin block hash at height OTSBitcoinBlock; GET https://blockstream.info/api/block/{that hash} → its timestamp must match OTSTimestamp 4. Read CopyrightID inside OTSCanonicalRecord → must equal the CopyrightID above 5. GET OTSVerificationAPI → pre-computed 6-check result from server 6. If all match: this entity was registered on CopyrightChains at OTSTimestamp, independently verifiable on Bitcoin Note: an OTS proof may carry multiple Bitcoin attestations; OTSBitcoinBlock is the earliest confirmed one — a later attestation inside the proof corroborates it and is not a mismatch
Dual-chain trust anchor. Chain 1 (CopyrightChains): CopyrightID 0x3c3d6255807d0bb9ab07828736058dcd8fbaab0502187ccc118ad3ac7924c7e6. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 953955 (2026-06-16T14:29:53Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.
