Do I need this?
A yes/no decision: what anchoring adds over an unanchored attestation, and when it is worth it.
Yes — if someone reads your attestation to make a decision, and you can't afford them doubting it.
| Unanchored | Anchored | |
|---|---|---|
| Signature is authentic | ✅ | ✅ |
| Growth is monotone | ✅ | ✅ |
| You quietly published an older version | deniable | attributable |
| You showed two buyers two histories | deniable | attributable |
Anchoring is one flag on the command you already run, and it costs verifiers nothing — they still check offline, for free.
Skip it
- You're in development, or nothing consumes your attestation yet.
Do it
- A buyer, market, or regulator reads your attestation.
- You want the
quorum-anchored (t-of-N)badge instead of market-witnessed.
Next: Choose your witnesses, then Anchor your attestation.
