ELYDORA
ELYDORA ANCHOR

Anchor evidence.
In time and structure.

Elydora Anchor generates Merkle epoch roots over batches of operations and optionally anchors them via RFC 3161 Trusted Timestamping. This creates independently verifiable proof that evidence existed at or before a specific time.

Capabilities
01

Merkle Epoch Roots

Operations are batched into epochs every 5 minutes. Each epoch produces an Elydora Epoch Record (EER) with a SHA-256 Merkle root over the chain hashes in the window.

02

Inclusion Proofs

The verify endpoint reports Merkle inclusion for any operation once its epoch closes, alongside the signature, chain, and receipt checks.

03

RFC 3161 Timestamping

Optional external timestamp anchoring via RFC 3161 Time-Stamp Protocol. Epoch roots can be anchored with a trusted Time Stamping Authority (TSA) for regulatory-grade time assertions.

04

Batch Efficiency

Epochs batch thousands of operations into a single root hash, so an auditor verifies a window without re-processing individual records.

05

Epoch Records

Each epoch record stores its root hash, leaf count, and time window. The API returns the record and its RFC 3161 anchor when one exists.

06

Cross-Epoch Verification

Chain hashes link operations across epochs. Combined with Merkle proofs and timestamps, this creates a complete, verifiable timeline of agent activity.
