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 0x6bef8d219f8da8765c1f5835402fd28f5250d209f5a0298836e7fdb1165eed18. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 953648 (2026-06-14T15:20:52Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.
