Beleg uses Bitcoin for exactly one thing: independently timestamping your ledger so its existence at a specific date is provable without trusting us. Your data lives in a normal database. There are no tokens, no wallets, no gas fees.

Only people you send the link to. Beleg doesn't publish or index your page.
Your anchored proofs are downloadable and verifiable using open-source tools against the public Bitcoin blockchain. No dependency on us surviving.
