On Things That Stay

There is something ancient about the urge to engrave. Stone, copper, wood - anything you can touch and say: this was here before me, and it will remain after me.

The blockchain is a new material to carve into. It isn't stone and it isn't copper, but it shares one important property with them: once written, there is no way to edit it.

What is written, is written. What is engraved, stays.

More than a hundred thousand nodes around the world hold a copy of what you wrote. There is no single server to take down. No single company to disappear. No single password to lose.

That is why we built EternalChain. Not to add another service to the disposable internet, but to give people a small, permanent place. To write the names of loved ones. To make a promise. Or just to say something, and know it will be said forever.

This blog will follow the journey. We'll write here about cryptography, about permanence, and about the small things we learn while building. If any of that interests you - subscribe to the RSS feed, or just check back from time to time.
