Layer 1 · the cryptographic record

The M Chain

Every master recording, published paper, synced lyric, and M-Verified badge on this platform is committed to a hash-linked attestation ledger: each entry carries the SHA-256 of the exact bytes it attests and commits to the entry before it — change one byte anywhere, past or present, and the chain breaks loudly. The ledger lives in the open (in this site's public repository, timestamped by every commit) and is anchor-ready: when counsel clears the on-chain step, only the head digest below needs to touch a blockchain for the entire history to be provable there.
