OpenStela

Continuity

If OpenStela disappears, what still holds?

The verify page says the answer comes in three layers, and that only the third one does not require trusting us. That is a design claim. This page turns it into a number, publishes how it is calculated, and states what happens to your records if this company stops operating.

存續

如果 OpenStela 不在了,還剩下什麼?

查驗頁寫著「答案分三層,只有第三層不需要信任我們」。那是一句設計主張。這一頁把它變成一個數字、公開算法,並寫明這家公司若停止營運,登記紀錄會怎麼樣。

The number

Of the records already anchored, this share needs nothing from us

Read live from the registry. Nobody edits it by hand.

那個數字

已上鏈的紀錄中,這個比例不需要經過我們

從登記簿即時讀出,不是人工填的。

Independent不需要經過我們
  • Proof path is served on the public page, so anyone can mirror it
  • Root is on Arbitrum One and stays there regardless of us
  • 證明路徑隨公開頁輸出,任何人都能鏡像
  • 樹根寫在 Arbitrum One,與我們的存亡無關
Needs your copy需要你手上的副本
  • Private characters: the proof path is not published
  • One download closes the gap — see below
  • 未公開的角色,證明路徑不對外輸出
  • 下載一次就補上這個缺口——見下一段

Source: /api/durability, aggregate only, no account needed. A leaf is one fingerprint — a character version, a work's authorship record, a binding, a piece of evidence, a signed contract, a transfer. The denominator for the headline number is records already anchored, not all records: the ones still queued are waiting for tonight's batch, and counting them would understate durability rather than measure it. Grading is in engine/durability.py; a stamp that carries a root but no proof path counts as failed, not independent. 資料來源:/api/durability,只有彙總、不需帳號。一片「葉子」=一枚指紋:角色的一個版本、作品的著作紀錄、一筆綁定、一項佐證、一份簽妥的契約、一次移轉。標題數字的分母是已上鏈的紀錄而不是全部:還在排隊的只是等今晚那一批,把它們算進去是稀釋而不是量測。分級規則在 engine/durability.py;有樹根但沒有證明路徑的戳記算失敗,不算獨立。

Today

Three things you can do now, none of which need our permission

現在

現在就能做的三件事,都不需要我們同意

  1. Download the Proof Pack

    Every character and every work has one: a PDF, the record as JSON, and the Merkle proof path. Once it is on your disk, verification no longer passes through us — the path plus the transaction on Arbitrum is all anyone needs. The anchoring notice now links here for exactly this reason.

    下載存證包

    每隻角色、每件作品都有一份:PDF、紀錄的 JSON,以及 Merkle 證明路徑。檔案一旦在你的硬碟上,查驗就不再經過我們——那條路徑加上 Arbitrum 上的那筆交易,任何人都驗得出來。上鏈通知現在連到這一頁,理由就是這個。

  2. Export the whole account

    Settings → Your data gives you one zip with every character pack, work, record and consent entry, in open formats. This is a commitment in the Terms (§11), not a feature we can quietly drop.

    匯出整個帳號

    設定 → 你的資料,一個 zip 裝下所有角色包、作品、紀錄與同意紀錄,全部是開放格式。這是服務條款第 11 條的承諾,不是我們可以默默拿掉的功能。

  3. Mirror the daily batches

    /api/anchor/batches lists every batch; /api/anchor/batches/<root> returns its leaf hashes. That is all it returns — no account, no slug, no registry number, nothing about who registered what. With a mirror of those files and your own fingerprint, you can rebuild the proof path yourself even for a private character. Copy them anywhere you like; that is what they are published for.

    鏡像每日批次

    /api/anchor/batches 列出所有批次,/api/anchor/batches/<root> 回傳那一批的葉子雜湊。就只有這些——沒有帳號、沒有代號、沒有登記編號,看不出誰登記了什麼。手上有這些檔案加上自己的指紋,就算是未公開的角色也能自行重建證明路徑。想放到哪裡都可以,公開它就是為了這件事。

If we stop

What we commit to if the service ends

Written down while the service is running, because a promise made on the way out is worth nothing.

如果停止營運

服務結束時,我們承諾的事

在還在營運的時候寫下來——收攤那天才做的承諾沒有價值。

These five commitments are section 12A of the Terms of Service (version 2.1, effective 7 October 2026 for existing accounts). They are contractual, not a statement of intent on a marketing page. 上列五項即服務條款第十二之一條(2.1 版,既有帳號 2026 年 10 月 7 日生效),具契約拘束力,不是行銷頁上的意向宣示。

This page is a commitment about how we would wind down; it is not a promise that we will not. Terms §12 remains accurate: the service is provided as is, with no uptime commitment. A registry that pretended otherwise would be making the exact kind of claim this whole product exists to replace. 本頁是關於「如何結束」的承諾,不是「不會結束」的保證。服務條款第 12 條仍然成立:服務以現狀提供,不保證可用性。一個假裝自己不會消失的登記簿,正是在做這整個產品想取代的那種宣稱。

Why this page exists

Somebody already ran this experiment

為什麼有這一頁

這個實驗已經有人做過了

Bitmark, 2014–2025

A blockchain property registry for digital assets — health data, music rights, digital art. It registered with Taiwan's music industry, it held a US patent on decentralised title recordation, and its chain is now shut down. The history was preserved: chain data on IPFS, the Merkle root anchored on Ethereum, timestamped on Bitcoin.

Bitmark,2014–2025

一個做數位財產登記的區塊鏈,範圍涵蓋健康資料、音樂權利、數位藝術。它與台灣音樂產業合作過,也持有一件關於去中心化權利登記的美國專利,而它的鏈現在已經關閉。歷史被保存下來了:鏈資料放 IPFS、Merkle 樹根錨在以太坊、再用比特幣打時間戳。

The audit that followed

Feral File, built by the same team, audited 39,967 works. 17,563 could be accessed independently. 22,214 still depended on their own infrastructure. 184 had already failed. Their conclusion: if there is a way to make a promise independently checkable, it should be made that way.

之後的那次稽核

同一批人做的 Feral File 稽核了 39,967 件作品:17,563 件可以獨立存取,22,214 件仍依賴自家基礎設施,184 件已經失效。他們的結論是:只要有辦法讓承諾可被獨立查核,就應該那樣做。

A registry that only works while its company is alive is not a registry. It is a subscription to someone's memory. 一個只有在公司活著時才成立的登記簿,不是登記簿,是向某人的記憶力訂閱。
