Its browser-based verifier checks five-second pieces against Merkle proofs and reads the seal directly from Polygon.

Field notes

The homepage presents both a live calculator-style app and a separate file verifier. Its described workflow divides recordings into five-second pieces, fingerprints and encrypts them on the phone, then anchors them on Polygon; the verifier checks pieces against Merkle proofs. A sample is labeled as nine pieces on Polygon Amoy, with a block reference. These are the site’s descriptions, not independently confirmed performance.
