This provides a verifiable record of when the document was sent and by whom, without storing the document itself on the blockchain. It’s designed to be user-friendly and to integrate with existing business workflows, offering features such as real-time tracking, delivery confirmation, and tamper-proof security.
docStribute's platform is built on the Hedera network. It uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a secure and transparent log of all document transactions.
