On-chain attestation
on Base
Mark Protocol is building tamper-proof document timestamping on Base. MARK is a fixed-supply ERC-20 token with no owner, no admin, and no tax.
What Mark Protocol is building
A planned ecosystem for on-chain document attestation — cryptographic proof that a document existed at a specific point in time, anchored permanently on the Base blockchain.
Submit document hashes to create immutable proof-of-existence records. No document content is stored on-chain — only the cryptographic hash.
Base (Ethereum L2) provides low transaction costs, EVM compatibility, and the security guarantees of Ethereum settlement.
The MARK token contract has no owner, no admin functions, no pause, no blacklist. It cannot be modified by anyone after deployment.
Open-source code, verified on BaseScan, public documentation, and honest risk disclosures. Everything is auditable.
What this project is not
- Not an investment product or security
- Not a governance token (in this version)
- Not a staking or yield protocol
- Not a meme token or speculative instrument
- Not affiliated with any exchange
- Not a finished product — it is in active development
Principles
Every design decision prioritizes simplicity, transparency, and minimizing trust requirements.
28 lines of Solidity. No custom logic beyond the constructor. Fewer features means fewer bugs and a smaller attack surface.
No owner, no admin, no pause, no blacklist. Once deployed, no address has any power over the contract.
100,000,000 MARK minted at deployment. No mint function. No inflation mechanism. The supply is permanent.
Risks are disclosed, not hidden. Limitations are stated, not glossed over. This project says what it is and what it is not.
