Your application receives a file and a JSON proof claiming the file was timestamped on a blockchain before a critical event occurred. How do you verify that claim programmatically? The verify-proof Python package handles this exact scenario, providing offline verification of blockchain-anchored file hashes without network dependencies.

Your claims system receives a timestamped photo. The adjuster says it was taken before the storm. The metadata says yesterday. Who's right? When building software for insurance or legal contexts, you
A file's metadata can lie. EXIF timestamps get stripped. Creation dates change when copied. But a hash anchored to a blockchain can't be faked. Here's how to verify ProofLedger timestamps programmatic

You get a file from a client who claims they created it last month. They show you a blockchain timestamp as proof. How do you verify that timestamp is legitimate without trusting their word? I built P
