Protect Research Integrity in the Age of AI
Protect your data, findings, and publications from AI-powered manipulation with blockchain timestamps that prove when your research existed.
What is TimeBinder and How Does it Work?
TimeBinder proves when a digital file existed by creating a cryptographic fingerprint of the file and anchoring it to the Bitcoin blockchain. The file itself is never uploaded or stored.
Verification can be made public or restricted by the user. In either case, the blockchain record proves the file existed at that point in time and has not been altered.
You need proof that preserves scientific integrity and supports reproducibility.
Research depends on verifiable data, clear timelines, and transparent methodology. Yet experimental results, drafts, and peer review materials can now be altered, duplicated, or fabricated using AI tools without leaving obvious traces.
When authenticity is questioned by journals, institutions, or collaborators, the absence of independent proof can jeopardise publication, funding, and professional reputation.
TimeBinder provides a simple way to prove when research files existed, creating verifiable evidence of originality and integrity without exposing confidential data.
What If Your Results Were Disputed?
Imagine your published data or experiment notes are accused of being modified after submission and you have no independent proof to demonstrate otherwise.
In moments, years of research and hard-earned credibility can collapse. Blockchain timestamps from TimeBinder provide cryptographic proof that your findings existed in their original form, protecting your integrity and authorship.
AI Is Changing the Risk Profile of Research
AI tools can now generate synthetic datasets, rewrite reports, and simulate experimental outcomes with alarming realism.
TimeBinder anchors every dataset, methodology, and publication to the Bitcoin blockchain, making your discoveries verifiable, trusted, and permanently immune to tampering or falsification.
What If Your Data Was Challenged?
Imagine a rival researcher claims your dataset was edited after peer review and you have no research forgery protection to confirm its authenticity.
Without immutable verification, even honest scientists can face accusations they cannot disprove.
TimeBinder creates independent, time-stamped blockchain evidence that proves when your data existed, ensuring your work remains defensible long into the future.
The Hidden Risk: AI-Fabricated Findings
AI systems can now generate fake data, graphs, and entire reports that look scientifically legitimate.
TimeBinder provides permanent, verifiable proof of origin for every research file protecting scientific integrity and ensuring your discoveries can always be proven authentic.
The Simple Solution: TimeBinder
TimeBinder anchors research data, notes, and publications to the Bitcoin blockchain — permanent, tamper-resistant and verifiable.
We provide you with proof of discovery that is independently verifiable and durable over time.

Independently Verifiable Evidence
Every TimeBind produces a verifiable blockchain record and downloadable Proof of Time Certificate, supporting compliance, litigation, and client assurance with tamper-resistant evidence.
Audit-Ready Research Records
TimeBinder creates independently verifiable timestamps that support reproducibility checks, institutional reviews, and publication audits without exposing raw research data.
Immutable Research Evidence Management
Timestamp datasets, lab notes, drafts, and supporting materials directly in your browser. Each file’s cryptographic hash proves when it existed, while the contents remain private.
Preserve Research Integrity
TimeBinder allows researchers to demonstrate when a dataset, draft, or result existed and whether a presented file matches the original. Research files can be independently verified using blockchain timestamps, reducing disputes over originality, authorship, or timing.
What about quantum computing?
Quantum computing is often raised as a concern when blockchain technology is mentioned. This concern is understandable, but commonly misunderstood. TimeBinder relies on cryptographic hashing (SHA-256) to anchor proof of file existence, and there is currently no known practical quantum attack against SHA-256.
While some public-key cryptographic schemes could be affected by future large-scale quantum computers, Bitcoin’s protocol is designed to evolve. Cryptographic upgrades can be implemented well before any realistic quantum threat becomes practical, preserving the integrity of historical records.
Importantly, TimeBinder does not expose private keys or rely on long-term signature security to prove existence in time. It anchors cryptographic fingerprints to the blockchain, creating an independently verifiable historical record that remains valid even as cryptographic standards change.
Protect Your Research and Discoveries
Ensure every experiment, dataset, and publication is time-sealed against AI tampering and research fraud.
What Researchers Are Saying
We tested TimeBinder to secure lab data prior to publication. The ability to prove file existence without uploading raw results is a major advancement for data integrity.
