Aethralink
Verifiable Shortlinks with Cryptographic Proof
"It is not a product of trust. It is a protocol of proof."
Stop trusting. Start proving. Every link cryptographically signed, decentrally stored, quantum-resistant.
What It Does
Aethralink transforms ordinary URLs into cryptographically signed shortlinks that anyone can verify.
When You Create an Aethralink:
- Your DID (Decentralized Identifier) signs the link
- A W3C Verifiable Credential proves authorship
- Proof stored locally (PostgreSQL) and decentrally (Ceramic Network)
- Anyone can verify authenticity without trusting a central authority
Perfect For:
- Content creators proving ownership of shared links
- Organizations preventing impersonation and phishing
- Web3 projects linking to IPFS, ENS domains, or Arweave content
- Anyone who needs cryptographic proof of authorship
How It Works
Paste Your URL
Submit any HTTPS URL, IPFS content, ENS domain, or Web3 link
ipfs://Qm...
example.eth
Authenticate with Your DID
Sign the link with Ed25519, Dilithium5 (post-quantum), or hybrid signatures
Your private key never leaves your device
