How Disclosure Ledger works

Four steps from a publish-bound image to a permanent, labeled-unverified public record.

1. Step 1

   Drop image

   You select or drop an image in the browser. For this MVP, image bytes stay on your device for hashing — they are not uploaded to our servers.

2. Step 2

   Hash + provenance scan

   The browser computes a SHA-256 content hash (Web Crypto) and runs a best-effort string/byte scan for possible provenance markers. That scan is not C2PA validation and may miss or mis-hint markers.

3. Step 3

   Self-report a declaration

   You choose yes / no / partial AI involvement and optional notes. The declaration is yours; we do not verify it.

4. Step 4

   Public record + CSV

   We persist the hash, declaration, provenance summary, and timestamp. You get a permanent /r/[id] page (noindex) and CSV export. Every page labels the record as self-reported and unverified.
