Four quick steps to a verifiable post:
The CTID is what readers (and the badge) use to verify the post traces back to your TIP-ID.
Your data: your files and caption are uploaded to the TIP node to verify and store them. The public DAG (TIP Network) records only their cryptographic hash, not the file or text itself. Your private key never leaves this device.
Publishing as a publication, newsroom, or brand?
Set up Publisher Mode to sign as your publication and credit the bylined humans inside the signed record, so the byline is verifiable too.
Attachments are fingerprinted into this record, so readers can verify the files match what you published.
Pick the code that best describes how this specific piece was made.
By registering, you confirm this declaration is accurate and accept the Terms of Service.
Your record is on the TIP Network. Your post is not connected to it yet. Paste the link below into your post, and anyone can check it.
Anyone who opens it sees who made this, how, and when.
Readers without the TIP browser extension see this where you paste your CTID link:
Readers with the extension installed see a verification badge on the post itself instead.
