Verifiable Records & Proofs

Create verifiable records within your services

Integrate EBSI to add proof anchoring, independent verification, version histories, provenance and attributable events to your services
Versioned dataset record: EU Stats Employment Dataset Q1 2025, version 2 over version 1

A SHARED FOUNDATION

Everything you need to anchor, manage and verify records.

Anchor record proofs

Register dated fingerprints on shared European infrastructure.

Only fingerprints and limited metadata are anchored on EBSI.

Enable independent verification

Make proofs verifiable across organisations and borders.

Other applications can check anchored evidence through EBSI's public API.

Keep your data and workflows

Continue managing your records and customer experience.

Your original files, workflows and customer relationships remain within your environment.

Built for organisations including

Digital trust solutions

Providers of digital identity, credentials and verification services.

Registry solutions

Platforms managing records, permissions and authoritative information.

Data platforms

Solutions enabling data exchange and management across organisations.

Traceability providers

Solutions tracking products, events and evidence across value chains.

Public-service platforms

Digital services connecting public authorities, businesses and citizens.

Systems integrators

Companies connecting technologies, platforms and existing IT systems.

How it works

How EBSI integrates with your workflows

Application layer

Register proofs through your service

Your application submits a record's fingerprint and limited metadata to EBSI through its APIs.
Trust infrastructure

Anchor proofs on EBSI

EBSI records the dated fingerprint, or associates a record with its authorised creator's verified EBSI identity through Track and Trace.
Independent verification

Enable independent verification

Other applications can check the anchored proof through EBSI's public API, including across organisations and borders.

capabilities

Create verifiable records leveraging EBSI trust components

Use EBSI to establish dated proofs of files or register their origin and history. Both capabilities can be integrated into existing applications.

Dataset record with version 2 stacked over version 1

Timestamp

Anchor a file's hash and record its versions history.
‍
Register dated fingerprints to verify that a file is unchanged and identify its recorded versions.

Example: contracts, protocols, reports and certificates.

Attributable history of a news photo across a photo agency, publisher and fact-checker

Track & Trace

Anchor a document's hash, trace its events and verify its creator
‍
Register records under an authorised creator's verified EBSI identity and record subsequent steps in their history.

Example: official publications and datasets.

WHY EBSI

Sovereign trust infrastructure

Distributed Network

Operated through a network of European nodes, endorsed by Member States.

Built for interoperability

Open standards enable verification across systems, organisations and borders.

Designed for integration

Connect existing applications to EBSI services through APIs and developer tools.

Verida: Making product information easier to verify

Verida helps manufacturers share information about a product's materials, origin and lifecycle in a way that buyers, auditors and authorities can independently check, using EBSI as a shared trust layer.

Official statistics that remain verifiable after download

Eurostat is exploring how EBSI can help achieve the independent authentication of published datasets — so researchers, journalists, auditors, and policy analysts can verify the figures they rely on.

DEUSS: Trusted digital bonds for SME financing

The Decentralised EU Securities Service (DEUSS) is a financial infrastructure that connects strategic SMEs directly with investors throughout the European Union. The project explores how EBSI can support digital bond issuance for SMEs by making issuer, investor, and bond information easier to verify across borders.

FAQ

A cryptographic hash and the metadata required by the selected capability, which can include a record identifier, a timestamp, an issuer identifier and version events. Not the record itself.

Timestamp proves a document existed, unchanged, at a given time. Track & Trace proves an item’s history and who published each step.

‍

Yes. EBSI can be integrated alongside existing platform when you need evidence anchored through a common European trust layer. The appropriate architecture depends on your current infrastructure and verification requirements.

Timestamp proves a point in time: a document or dataset existed at a given date and has not been altered since. Track & Trace proves a sequence of events: it records each document and lifecycle step linked to an item. Every entry is signed by its author, so others can trust both what happened and who reported it.
