About Arkiv Expand
Arkiv provides a specialized product for designers, creatives, and agencies to protect their intellectual property. It addresses the critical need for privacy by using a zero-knowledge approach: files never leave the user's device.
Instead, it generates a local SHA-256 hash, then anchors this proof of ownership on independent public blockchains like Base and Story Protocol. This method ensures NDA compliance and offers a permanent, on-chain record of authorship, making Arkiv a practical choice for those handling sensitive digital assets.
