Two people start a project together. One brings an idea. The other brings code they've already spent months writing.
Before the shared work starts, it's worth keeping a record of that existing code.
I'm part of the team behind Ecode. Our free service helps create dated evidence for code files without uploading the source.
Keep a clear starting point
Save the original files. Register them with Ecode. Keep the certificate and verification files with that saved version.
Ecode combines:
- A SHA-256 fingerprint calculated on your device.
- Database registration.
- A trusted RFC 3161 timestamp.
- A Polygon blockchain record.
You receive a certificate with a QR code, a timestamp file, and a blockchain transaction link. Your source code stays on your device.
These records can support an authorship claim alongside your files and development history.
They don't replace an agreement about who owns what. Write that down too.
Registration is free. No card or subscription is needed.
