What is Foreverize?

Foreverize is a live demo application on the XYO Layer One Testnet. It lets anyone upload a file, generate a cryptographic hash, and publish that hash permanently on the blockchain. The original file is never stored, only its fingerprint is recorded.

It is a simple but powerful way to understand how data integrity and immutability work in decentralized systems.

How it Works

  1. Download and install the XL1 Wallet browser extension

  2. Visit the Foreverize page at node.xyo.network/foreverize

  3. Upload an image or file

  4. Approve the transaction through your XL1 Wallet

  5. Instantly receive a permanent hash recorded to the XYO Layer One Testnet

The file is not saved anywhere. Only its hash is published, providing verifiable proof that the file existed in its exact form.

Use Example Files

To get started quickly, Foreverize includes sample files with known expected hashes. You can try hashing:

  • The Scream by Edvard Munch

  • A King Charles Spaniel portrait

  • Still Life with Flowers by Clara Peeters

  • Little Girl with Cat by Berthe Morisot

Hash the same image twice and the result is identical. Make a slight edit, and the hash will be completely different. This demonstrates how precise and sensitive cryptographic hashing is.

FAQ

Is my file stored anywhere?

No. Foreverize only stores the hash of your file. This keeps the system lightweight, decentralized, and secure. This is an example of one of the Core Paradigms of XYO: Off-Chain Data, On-Chain Proof.

What is hashing used for?

Hashing verifies that data has not been altered. It creates a unique fingerprint for a file. If the file changes, so does the fingerprint. It is a core technology behind data integrity on blockchains.

Can I use Foreverize without writing code?

Yes. Foreverize is fully no-code. All you need is the XL1 Wallet and a file to upload.

Can I verify the hash later?

Yes. Once published, the hash is visible on the XYO Layer One Testnet Explorer and can be referenced at any time.
