The Technology
Built on the shoulders of giants. Verify, don't trust.
Bitcoin OP_RETURN
We use the OP_RETURN opcode to embed a cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of your memorial data directly into the Bitcoin blockchain. This proves existence at a specific point in time without clogging the network with large data files.
Content Addressing (IPFS)
The actual content (text, images) is stored on IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), identifying files by their content hash rather than location. This ensures that even if our servers disappear, the data remains retrievable as long as one node hosts it.
Open Standard Protocol
Everstone memorials follow a simple JSON schema. Anyone can build a viewer for these memorials. We do not lock your memories into a proprietary garden.
