Save the code. Keep the evidence.

A certificate can't bring back a file you no longer have.

That's why saving your code and keeping evidence of it should go together.

Here's a simple routine:

  1. Save the code file you want to keep.
  2. Make a separate backup.
  3. Register the file with Ecode.
  4. Keep the certificate and verification files with that saved version.

Ecode uses SHA-256 fingerprinting, database registration, trusted RFC 3161 timestamps, and Polygon blockchain records.

Your source code stays on your device. You get a certificate with a QR code, a timestamp file, and a blockchain transaction link.

These records can help support code authorship alongside your development history. They don't store a recoverable copy of the code.

Free registration. No card or subscription.
