Verify independently

Anyone can prove this contract was signed.

Both signers' digests are sha256(canonical(header) || bodyHash). Anyone — recipient, court, regulator, journalist — can recompute either digest from the document body + signature header and confirm validity. No need to trust our database. No vendor lock-in.

The 16 minutes, step by step
  1. Colt drafts the contract at /sign/new — title, body, kind=CONTRACT, adds @acme-inc as signer.
  2. Hits “Create + send”. The protocol locks the body SHA-256, charges the $2 fee via Hylaq Rail, sends the contract URL to @acme-inc.
  3. Colt visits /sign/<slug>, signs with his @colt key. The protocol computes sha256(canonical(header) || bodyHash) and stores it.
  4. @acme-inc receives the URL, reviews the body, signs with their key. Same digest computation.
  5. On the second signature, the document auto-flips to COMPLETED. Both parties can download the signed export, verify any signature, send to a court if needed.
  6. Total time: 16 minutes. Total cost: $2. Total trust required in Hylaq: zero — anyone can verify the digests forever.

DocuSign would have charged at minimum $10 (their starter tier monthly), held the document in their portal forever, and given you a signature that's an image of your name + an audit log they can revoke. We're a different sport entirely.

Cryptographically signed. Forever verifiable. Vendor-free.
