Verify a recording

Every provenanced recording on this registry has a public provenance certificate you can fetch and inspect — no account, no API key. The certificate lets anyone confirm that a recording with this exact audio fingerprint was published by a specific account at a specific time, as witnessed by the registry.

Proves: existence and first publication. The hash binds the acoustic fingerprint of the audio to the publishing account and the timestamp; a later upload of the same audio elsewhere cannot predate it on this registry.

Does not prove: that the publisher owns the underlying rights, that the recording is non-infringing, or how the audio was made — the AI-disclosure flag states that separately, per recording. Certificates and disclosure work together: the certificate fixes when and by whom, the flag states how.
