TimeBinder Affiliate Program: Earn 20% Recommending Blockchain Timestamps
Your audience makes things worth protecting: songs, designs, inventions, manuscripts, code. Recommend TimeBinder and earn 20% of settled transactions from the people you refer.
Free to join. Every application is reviewed by a person, and we reply by email within 24 hours.
What you would be recommending
TimeBinder records a file’s SHA-256 fingerprint on the Bitcoin blockchain, so anyone can later check that the exact file existed by a certain time and hasn’t changed since. Files are hashed in the browser and never uploaded.
It’s an easy first step for your audience, too: there’s a Free plan with 1 free Token a month (enough for 1 Pooled TimeBind), and every TimeBind comes with a Proof of Time Certificate.
Who the affiliate program suits
It works best when your audience creates original work and worries about it being copied, disputed or faked.
Music and creative
Music educators, producers, songwriter communities and creative newsletters. Your readers can timestamp demos, stems, lyrics and artwork before they share them.
Architecture and design
Design writers, studios, educators and design associations. Concepts and revision rounds can be timestamped before they go to a client or a competition.
IP, inventors, writers and developers
Inventor groups, writing communities and developer channels. Lab notes, drafts, chapters and code releases get a dated record that is easy to check.
Bloggers, YouTubers and newsletters
If you review tools or teach people how to protect their work, a clear walkthrough of TimeBinder fits right in.
Associations and communities
Member organisations can point members to a simple way to keep dated records of their work.
Platforms and marketplaces
Beat stores, design marketplaces and creator platforms whose users trade original files. For deeper integrations, see our Partnership Program.

Four steps, and the second one is done by a real person.

Program rules
Short and simple. They protect your audience, and they protect your reputation as much as ours.
- Always disclose the relationship. Say clearly that you are a TimeBinder affiliate and may earn from your links, wherever you share them.
- Describe it accurately. TimeBinder shows that a file existed by a certain time and hasn’t changed since. Don’t claim it proves authorship or ownership, or that a TimeBind is guaranteed to be accepted as evidence.
- No spam. No unsolicited bulk email or messages, and no posting links where they aren’t welcome.
- No fake reviews. No made-up testimonials, fake accounts or reviews you haven’t genuinely written.
- Ask if unsure. If you aren’t sure whether something fits these rules, email us before you publish it.

For each campaign you can see its code and type, impressions and shares, clicks, registrations and active subscriptions, plus pending payout and payout history. You can create new campaigns and get tracking URLs yourself.
Can I say TimeBinder proves I created something?
No. A TimeBind shows that an exact file existed by a certain time and hasn’t changed since. It doesn’t prove who made it or who owns it, and it isn’t guaranteed to be accepted as evidence, so please don’t present it that way.
I run a platform or want to integrate TimeBinder. Is this the right program?
The affiliate program is for people and organisations who recommend TimeBinder to their audience. For technology, research or legal collaborations, see our Partnership Program.
