The ever-increasing digitisation of daily life and activities creates a massive flood of digital files for the average user which becomes cumbersome to navigate. It also creates larger exposure to fraud and misrepresentation of files due to the difficulty to verify originality and uniqueness of content. The new MainStay cloud storage integrations provide a simple way for any user to create a unique cryptographic hash for any original digital file and attest it to the Bitcoin blockchain. This allows any future viewer to independently verify the file’s originality.

The independent verification feature will be valuable for any process involving digital documents or data being shared amongst multiple parties, such as the legal sector, trade, land registries, scientific documents and education certificates as examples.
MainStay is a unique attestation service protocol that allows not only for individual point-in-time data attestations but it also provides cryptographic proof of one single history of data or system changes. This ‘Proof-of-Immutable-State’ is obtained via the trustless immutability inherent in a strong proof-of-work blockchain like Bitcoin. MainStay utilizes a so-called ‘Staychain’, successive commitments into a sequence of linked transactions to the underlying blockchain which creates a single, non-branching history backed by the proof-of-work of the underlying blockchain.
