Ekam is the Sanskrit for "one, single, solitary" (neuter gender), as a noun meaning "unity". In Hinduism, it refers to a concept of monism akin to that of Brahman in Advaita philosophy and Smarta theo
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 0xafdbd1508d40e0f6e0149c01e6c23ee102f7a5f75e61dc4e38de89caec3fb784. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 954659 (2026-06-21T06:14:42Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.

1. Confirm isrcCode identifies the recording in the pre-2022 source corpus and cc-db-prod record 2. GET OTSVerificationAPI → server-side canonical-record, hash, and attestation checks must pass 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. Confirm CopyrightID is the CopyrightChains transaction hash 5. If all match: the cc-db-prod record is independently anchored on Bitcoin at OTSTimestamp
Dual-chain trust anchor. Chain 1 (CopyrightChains): CopyrightID 0x18f545be7f15fb0621444fa7ef9212d971d976168783cb4510174469f4fe0071. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 958846 (2026-07-20T10:47:13Z), registered by our registry partner. The server verifies the private canonical record against OTSHash without exposing internal provider keys.
