1. Compute SHA-256 of OTSCanonicalRecord value → must equal OTSHash 2. Open OTSProofURL → extract Bitcoin block number → must equal OTSBitcoinBlock 3. GET OTSBitcoinBlockVerifyURL → block must exist at that height 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 artist was registered on CopyrightChains at OTSTimestamp, independently verifiable on Bitcoin
Dual-chain trust anchor. Chain 1 (CopyrightChains): CopyrightID 0x8fefe63e321264f2511b89cf623916c3a9b82bde276f0ea1800ed377346bcfac. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 953694 (2026-06-14T21:38:09Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.
