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
Dual-chain trust anchor. Chain 1 (CopyrightChains): CopyrightID 0x5dacb5e3517506aa9d6cf2f7201c8bfb810e466eb3f1678baad3c0d82d7216c5. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 954342 (2026-06-19T03:22:39Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.
