### How does bStamp work?

Timestamping creates a unique and universal fingerprint (the 'hash') for all your posts. If the input changes, the hash becomes totally different.

This hash is added to the blockchain with a date and time. Because you (the website owner) have the input that results in this specific hash, you can prove that you published the content at that point in time.
