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 0xba79f4343413c7f6d0b4fb8ae9d737cde03d05ae63d2f3cbb03a726e88808c07. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 954667 (2026-06-21T07:29:20Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.
