Chrono Tag

Imagine a brilliant scientist—Dr. Aarya Sen—working late into the night on a cancer-curing compound. She’s made a breakthrough that could save millions. But in the chaos of academia and the noise of social platforms, her research risks being lost, stolen, or miscredited. Months later, a pharma company publishes similar findings. Dr. Sen had the idea first—but how can she prove it?

Enter Chrono Tag.

Chrono Tag is a decentralized intellectual property (IP) timestamping and licensing platform built for researchers, creators, and innovators. It transforms how IP is protected, offering undeniable proof of originality and ownership using blockchain technology.

At its core, Chrono Tag:

• Generates a 12-digit unique ID—a “ChronoTag”—for every research document, calculated using:

• Timestamp of upload

• ASCII values of the researcher's name and designation

• Secures the document on-chain (or IPFS linked), with access only available to the original wallet used during registration.

• Allows public metadata access (research details, title, tags), ensuring visibility without compromising sensitive IP content.

• Acts as an immutable proof-of-work, even beyond the life of the creator—ensuring legacy validation.

  Why This Matters

  • Protects Early-Stage Research: Even before publishing in journals, researchers can prove authorship and priority.

  • Reduces Plagiarism & Misattribution: Blockchain-backed time seals act as digital witnesses.

  • Universal Recognition: A decentralized ledger holds more credibility than any one institution.

  • Legacy Beyond Life: Innovators may pass, but their inventions remain forever attributed and verifiable.

  How It Works

  • User uploads their IP file (e.g., PDF, DOCX, datasets).

  • A unique ChronoTag ID is generated.

  • File gets timestamped and hashed, stored on IPFS or encrypted chain link.

  • Metadata is made publicly searchable by ChronoTag, Name, or Tags.

  • Only the original wallet can unlock and download the actual IP content.

Proof of authorship can be generated anytime—even posthumously.

Future Upgrades

• Zero-Knowledge Proof for File Verification without File Access

• Tokenized Licensing Marketplace – enable users to license their IP for use/sale

• Posthumous Claim System – allow family/legal heirs to manage the IP

• KYC Integration for Institutions – verify professors, universities, labs

• Multi-sig Vaults for Research Teams

• AI-Assisted IP Summarization – make abstracts and related content easily searchable

Chrono Tag isn’t just a product—it’s a movement to preserve truth and credit in innovation. In a world where information moves fast and attribution is messy, Chrono Tag plants a flag—a timestamped beacon that says: "I was here first."

Let’s give creators eternal proof.
Let’s give the world transparent innovation.
Let’s tag time itself.

This is Chrono Tag.
