Prove Your Research, Permanently
In academic research, timing matters. Publishing a preprint, submitting to a journal, or collaborating with peers all rely on one core concern: proving you were first.
Traditional platforms like arXiv are widely used but ultimately centralized. Their permanence depends on a single institution's continued funding and policies. If that platform disappears, so could the only record of your work's early existence.
EMOZ solves this problem by offering researchers an independent, decentralized proof of authorship. With just a file and a few clicks, EMOZ generates a blockchain-based certificate that proves your research existed at a specific moment, under your name, with no possibility of alteration.

Why Academics Use EMOZ:
Immutable Proof of Priority
Secure a tamper-proof, timestamped certificate proving your research existed at a specific time.
Decentralized, Yet Effortless
No blockchain knowledge or crypto wallet needed. EMOZ handles everything behind the scenes and gives you a clean PDF certificate containing the data of a permanent blockchain transaction. This transaction is an NFT that records the unique fingerprint of your file, making it as irreversible and verifiable as carving your authorship in digital stone.
Independent of Platforms
Even if arXiv or institutional repositories go offline, your EMOZ certificate remains verifiable on the Polygon blockchain, permanently and independently of EMOZ itself.
Boost Confidence When Sharing
Share preprints on any platform with the reassurance that your ownership is independently recorded and publicly verifiable.
Court-Admissible Evidence
Blockchain timestamps are increasingly accepted in legal contexts as strong evidence of prior existence and authorship.
How it works
Get started with EMOZ in 5 simple steps.
Drag and drop your preprint or research draft into EMOZ.
EMOZ computes a digital fingerprint (SHA-256) directly within your browser so the file never leaves your device and it is not uploaded to our server.
You declare authorship, confirm your identity, and pay (or use the free trial).
EMOZ stores the fingerprint and encrypted metadata on the blockchain.
You receive a PDF certificate proving authorship, timestamped, and independently verifiable forever.
