Verifying Ownership

Prove you own the blockchain token linked to a product.

What Is Ownership Verification?

When a product is registered with TAGBASE and linked to a blockchain token (such as a Cardano native token), the current holder can cryptographically prove ownership by signing a message with their wallet.

This creates an immutable, tamper-proof record that you control the token—and by extension, the authentic product.

How to Verify Ownership

  1. Open a Claim

    • Navigate to a product page with a blockchain-linked claim

    • Click "Verify Ownership"

  2. Connect Your Wallet

    • A signing window will open

    • Select your Cardano wallet (e.g., Eternl, Nami, Flint, Yoroi, Lace)

    • Approve the connection request

  3. Sign the Challenge

    • TAGBASE generates a unique, time-limited message

    • Sign the message with your wallet (no transaction fees)

    • The signature proves you control the wallet holding the token

  4. Verification Complete

    • Once verified, your ownership status is recorded

    • A green checkmark indicates successful verification


Wallet Requirements

To verify ownership, you need:

  • A compatible browser wallet extension installed

  • The wallet must hold the specific token linked to the product

  • The wallet must be unlocked and ready to sign

Supported Cardano Wallets:

  • Eternl

  • Nami

  • Flint

  • Yoroi

  • Lace

  • Typhon

  • GeroWallet

  • NuFi

Security Notes

  • No private keys are shared—only a cryptographic signature

  • No transaction fees—signing a message is free

  • Time-limited challenges—each verification request expires for security

  • On-chain verification—signatures can be independently verified
