The rollout of the Timestamp Ecosystem will see multiple stakeholders join forces: including site owners, advertisers, big-tech, and policymakers.

In a statement, WordProof said that being blockchain agnostic is crucial to bring these stakeholders together, explaining why WordProof now supports the Ethereum blockchain.

"Blockchain was originally invented for timestamping. At WordProof, we're committed to being the most user-friendly timestamping tool that can be used in all content management systems and e-commerce platforms."

He added, "Adding support for Ethereum marks an important step towards achieving this goal, so we're excited to welcome the Ethereum community to the WordProof Timestamp Ecosystem."

The WordProof press release is timestamped on the Ethereum blockchain, which can be verified by clicking on the "View this content's WordProof Timestamp certificate" at the end of any content.

The launch helps take a major use case of blockchain technology a step further - that of providing the masses with freely available and verifiable information.
