Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

Prompt timestamping exists in small tools; sealing the full iteration trail is a modest extension.

Closest things out there

DeusProof (MCP server) timestamps prompt and output to Bitcoin with an authorship certificate, and ZeroDay (hackathon) links AI works to their prompt and timestamp.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

The pitch, ready

A wax seal for the AI age: dated proof of how you made your work, so credit follows the person even when AI helped.

Problem: Artists, writers and designers who use AI are told their work is not theirs, and copies spread fast. Most have no dated record of how a piece was made, only files whose dates anyone can change.

Solution: A helper fingerprints every prompt, draft and hand fix locally and batches them into one cheap onchain timestamp. One public proof page shows the whole trail, and the app says so honestly when someone else sealed first.

Why now: L2 gas makes a batch cost under a cent, embedded wallets hide the crypto, and AI assisted work is now common enough that credit disputes happen weekly.

Market: Illustrators, designers, writers and musicians who use AI in their process, plus the clients, shops, galleries and grant bodies who need to know who made what.

The ask: Pilot with two illustrator collectives and one print on demand shop, and support from Base Builder Grants.

For hackathons and demo days

Your 2 minute demo

Home: 1:32 AM in Maboneng, Zara's Kasi Moon v14 is not sealed yet.
Seal: pick capture, cadence and chain, watch the strength meter, seal and get the receipt.
Trail: open the public proof page and re-hash a file to check it.
Disputes: check the t-shirt shop's claim, then the case where Tomás sealed first and the app says so.
Me: upgrade to Studio with USDC on Base to unlock the dispute kit, then send the notice.
Owner Revenue: change the Studio price in the paywall editor and preview the user Plans sheet.
Owner Rules and Reports: raise the strong trail line, label a reported page honestly.
Owner Agent and Roadmap: run a Friday wrap, then request the v2 seal button for creative tools.

Many hackathons require code written at the event. See the Regatta Boardfor each race's rule.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The need

Artists, writers and designers who use AI in their process are told their work is not theirs, and copies spread fast. Most have no dated record of how a piece was made, only files on a laptop whose dates anyone can change.

What exists and what is new

Prompt timestamping already exists: DeusProof (an MCP server) timestamps a prompt and output to Bitcoin with an authorship certificate, and ZeroDay (a hackathon project) links AI works to their prompt and timestamp. What this adds is modest: sealing the full iteration trail (prompts, saved drafts, hand edited layer files, outside edits shown as gaps) in cheap batches, plus one readable public proof page per project. Research verdict: rare, medium novelty, a small extension of existing tools.

The data it runs on

Fingerprints (SHA-256) of each saved prompt, draft and layer file; a Merkle root per batch; block number and time; the creator's wallet signature; optional encrypted copies in the creator's own vault. Files and prompts are never published unless the creator chooses.

1.The mission

Give every maker a calm, dated record of how they made their work, so credit follows the person even when AI helped.

2.Why people can't resist it

One link ends the argument A proof page shows every step in order with dates nobody can backdate. Clients and shops can check it in a minute.

Honest by design If someone sealed first, the app says so. That honesty is why people believe the page when it says you were first.

Friday wrap streak A weekly nudge seals the week's unsealed drafts in one batch and keeps a streak of sealed Fridays.

3.How it works for real

Capture: A desktop helper and browser extension watch only the folders and prompt boxes the creator picks, hashing each saved version locally.

Batch: Hashes become leaves in a Merkle tree; one root per save, hour or session is committed, so one transaction covers many files.

Anchor: The root is written on Base (or Arbitrum or Solana) through a tiny registry contract or an EAS attestation signed by the creator's wallet, created with Privy embedded wallets.

Proof page: A public page lists each step, its leaf proof, block and time, and lets anyone re-hash a file they hold to verify it matches.

Compare: When a copy is reported, a perceptual image hash and an optional vision model (a small, low cost tier) score similarity against sealed drafts. The score is shown as a hint, never a verdict.

Vault: Optional encrypted copies on the creator's own storage so they can unlock one draft for a reviewer without making it public.

4.Cost per use and pricing

One batch is one small transaction on an L2; on Base this is typically well under one cent at normal fees (estimate, check current gas). At 60 batches a month that is roughly $0.10 to $0.50 in gas. Similarity checks only run on disputes, a few cents each with a small vision model. Hosting proof pages is negligible at this scale.

Sketch Free

Seal up to 3 projects a month, fingerprints only, public proof pages.

Studio $6 a month

Unlimited projects, every save sealed, encrypted vault, dispute kit with notice templates.

Agency $29 a month

Team seats, client delivery pages that show the trail, bulk export for grant and gallery applications.

5.Growth loop

Every proof page carries a quiet 'sealed with' footer. Clients who check a page are often creators themselves, and disputes that end with one link get shared in creator groups.

6.Risks and guardrails

Not a legal ruling: A timestamp shows a file existed at a time, not who owns copyright. Copy says this plainly and never promises a takedown outcome.

Sealing someone else's work: A bad actor could seal a stolen file early. The trail of many drafts is what convinces, and the app shows thin trails as thin.

Privacy: Only hashes go onchain by default. Prompts can reveal private ideas, so nothing readable is ever published without an explicit choice.

Similarity false matches: Perceptual matching can be wrong. Scores are hints, and the creator reviews before sending anything.

Key loss: If the wallet is lost, past seals still verify but new ones need a recovered key; embedded wallet recovery is set up on day one.

7.Build order

8.Where this is going

Now
Illustrators seal their drafts and share one proof link when work is copied.
Next
Clients ask for a proof page before paying, and creative tools add a 'seal this version' button.
Later
Galleries, grant bodies and labels accept sealed process trails as part of a submission.
The world it changes
Making things with AI no longer means losing credit. The human steps in the work are visible and respected by default.

Why own First Draft Seal

When AI assisted work gets copied, the original creator has no proof beyond screenshots. Own First Draft Seal and you run the timestamp service creators trust, from your wallet and brand. The creators, the proof archive and the fees are yours.

What’s stopping you?

“Does a timestamp hold up in a dispute?”

It proves a specific file and prompt existed at a time; it is evidence, not a court ruling. Say exactly that on your site.

“Do I see people's private prompts?”

Only hashes go onchain. Keep drafts encrypted or on the creator's device, and say so clearly.

“I can't code.”

You do not need to. First Draft Seal arrives working, deployed from your own wallet with a written guide for every step. You will click, paste and fill in names. If you ever want a change you cannot make, the custom option or a freelancer can handle it, but the first launch needs no code.

“Is it really mine?”

Yes. The contract is deployed from your wallet on Base, the code sits in your own git repo, and the name and brand are yours. DEPLOYR does not hold your keys or take a cut of what First Draft Seal earns. If you stop paying anyone tomorrow, the app keeps running on your wallet.

“What if nobody uses First Draft Seal?”

That is the most likely early outcome, and it is fixable. The paths below start with you as the first user, then ten real AI assisted artists, designers and writers you can name today. If ten people you message do not care after you have shown it to them, you have learned something useful in a week instead of a year.
