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 0x141331f8b53e9bc735aa9cd3f8cd122cc56221f8c2760b72424e6e38bef6d01b. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 954039 (2026-06-17T03:00:41Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.

How Do We Find Our Truth? / The Other Side
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 0x0236104743003fb90477300f0523d58a2e886123d197f8fbd1c67c79d9379535. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 956312 (2026-07-02T05:09:12Z), registered by our registry partner. The server verifies the private canonical record against OTSHash without exposing internal provider keys.
