Transparency in Action

Don't just take our word for it. See how blockchain verification works.

TimeChain™ Blockchain Verification

Every EquiClaims report includes a blockchain hash verifying the evidence chain. This means:

Immutable timestamps — no one can backdate or alter data points
Source traceability — every comp, photo, repair estimate traced to origin
Audit trail — courts can independently verify evidence authenticity
Forensic defensibility — withstands expert witness cross-examination

Sample Blockchain Hash:

This hash links to an immutable record of VIN verification, damage assessment, comparable sales, repair estimates, and final calculation — all timestamped and verifiable.
