Public Record

ETCHED IN STONE

What was published, and when, on the record

A record that can be quietly rewritten is not a record.

Forecasts, claims and writings are published, and then edited. The miss becomes a hit, the date moves, the wording softens, and a reader looking at the page today has no way to know it differs from the page as first published. Screenshots and archives help only if someone took them, and they say nothing about who published what.

Etched In Stone is Watchfire AI's public, append-only record. Each application publishes entries into its own record with its own sequence; Fireball's forecasts were the first. Every entry is stored exactly as published, fingerprinted, timestamped by two independent timestamp authorities and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain, then rendered with its proofs and a downloadable evidence archive. Change one byte and the proofs fail; remove an entry and the sequence shows the gap. Verification needs nothing from Watchfire: the record, the proofs and standard public tools are enough.
