TransferRecord™

Every Hand Leaves a Record.

TransferRecord™ is a neutral chain-of-custody timestamp ledger. Where BlockClaim™ proves that a work existed at a specific moment in time, TransferRecord™ documents how that work moves through the world — who held it, who passed it on, and when those changes took place.

Creators, owners, collectors, and institutions may use TransferRecord™ to append verifiable, timestamped entries whenever:

• ownership of a work changes hands
• a gallery, museum, or archive assumes custody
• a manuscript, dataset, or design is assigned or licensed
• a third party receives a copy under specific terms
• a digital or physical asset enters or leaves stewardship

Each entry in a TransferRecord™ chain is anchored by a blockchain transaction (TXID) that can be independently verified. Over time, these entries form an auditable narrative of custody — a provenance trail that complements the original BlockClaim™ timestamp.

TransferRecord™ does not replace contracts, bills of sale, or any official registration system. It is a supplemental, timestamped record intended to strengthen provenance by documenting how custody and responsibility move over time. In any future questions of authenticity, chain-of-custody, or prior possession, a well-maintained TransferRecord™ provides an additional, independent layer of evidence.

This page serves as the first public description and record of TransferRecord™ in use.

TransferRecord Schema (v1.0)

The following JSON structure is a recommended, human- and machine-readable way to describe a TransferRecord™ custody event. It is an optional convention that tools, archives, or creators may adopt when recording changes of custody or ownership:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "type": "transfer",
  "linked_origin_txid": "blockclaim-txid-or-primary-origin-reference",
  "from": "current-holder-or-entity",
  "to": "new-holder-or-entity",
  "timestamp_txid": "on-chain-txid-for-this-transfer-entry",
  "notes": "short optional note about terms, context, or conditions"
}

Notes: linked_origin_txid SHOULD point to the original BlockClaim™ TXID or another canonical origin reference for the asset. from and to identify the entities involved in the custody change. timestamp_txid is the blockchain transaction ID that anchors this transfer entry. Additional fields may be added by future versions, but this minimal schema SHOULD remain stable so early chains continue to be interpretable.
