01
The maker records the making
What it is, its materials, technique and days. A ‘MADE’ event opens the record.
02
The desk verifies
The Sanchaari desk reviews it and adds a ‘VERIFIED’ event. Only then is it listed.
03
Every hand is added
Listed, sold, transferred, revoked — appended in order. Nothing is edited or deleted.
04
The chain is hash-linked
Each event is hashed and linked to the one before. Change one byte and every later link breaks.
05
Batches are anchored
Entries are batched under a Merkle root, proving an entry existed at a point in time.
06
Anyone can recompute
The Verify page recomputes the chain live: Intact, Failed or Revoked.
What the record proves
- That the documented history of a piece has not been altered since it was recorded.
- Who made it, where, and every custodian it has passed through.
- That an entry existed at the time its batch was anchored.
What it doesn’t claim
- It is not a blockchain token, and it needs no cryptocurrency to verify.
- It does not, by itself, appraise value — provenance and price are separate.
- We never mark a craft as GI-registered unless it is.
