There are four ways to verify the authenticity of any document signed within TWALA. Verify document by:

  1. Logging in to your TWALA Account

  2. Visting TWALA's website.

  3. Scanning the QR code from the document's audit trail. This is designed for printed documents.

  4. Command Line Interface (CLI).

Twala generates the root hash of all the documents signed within the month and sends it to the main public Ethereum. The monthly root hash is tied to the previous root hash making it harder to alter any document recorded within Twala. This process is also known as chained anchoring.

Twala CLI NPM Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@twala-io/twala-cli
