Our blockchain timestamping is based on NEM blockchain Mainnet.

NEM blockchain and transaction fee will be covered by Geens utility token
GEE. Estimated GEE value is equal to 1 EUR. Use GEE token to buy timestamps
for your data. The cost is set to 0.20 GEE per timestamp.

For business users timestamping can be made in two ways.
Timestamping data from Company Folder will be visible for all team members with the right permissions.
Timestamping data from Personal Company folder will be visible only to that particular user.
Timestamps certificate contains your files integrity HASH which is stored in NEM blockchain with time and owner record.
Certificate can be downloaded as a file or printed directly from the Geens dashboard.
In general, the blockchain was designed to be tamper proof. If
blockchain was possible to be manipulated, the whole
cryptocurrency would have not existed in the first place. That is
why timestamping files on blockchain let’s you confidently know
that your data is secure.
It can also be used as legal evidence in courts across the globe.
