译文/Translated：
Sebastiaan van der Lans开发的Wordproof 是一个强大的工具包，它为一个古老的行业问题提供的解决方案。因为团队在WordPress—覆盖全网34.5%的开源内容管理软件—上的经验和技术，又因为它和 EOSIO区块链技术的结合，所以这个工具能够通过向数百万用户引入受信任的时间戳，改善网络内容的安全性和可靠性。
介绍一下WordProof吧？
WordProof把区块链的优点带到了内容世界，从此，顾客和内容创建者有了工具能够建立一个安全和可靠的网络。WordProof是基于WordPress开始的，超三分之一的网络都使用后者。
网络有些植根已久又日益严重的问题：不信任，剽窃，和假新闻。我们希望能通过EOSIO区块链技术为网络提出新的标准，使它更可靠、可信。
WordPress已经在超过三分之一的网页上使用了，所以我们想把EOSIO区块链技术带给数百万的网页和数千万的用户的过程中，它就成为天然而强大的起点。
我们的第一个解决方案Wordproof Timestamp让内容创造者能够提出所有权并反映内容变化上的透明度，从而实现该目标。网页浏览者可以自己判断谁拥有内容，这些人是否可以对内容负责。
识别所有权和责任方，可信任的时间戳，这两个功能增强了网络的信任，反过来，就有了更可靠的网络。
为WordPress插件推出WordProof时间戳之后，WrodProof开始支持非WordPress的网站。
WordPress和非WordPress的网站都可以使用We Stamp For You服务，该服务自动给后台的所有内容添加了时间戳。
网页编辑和网页持有者不再需要管理密钥和运行区块链钱包，就可以体验区块链的力量了。
您怎么想到要创造WordProof的呢？
我们和WordPress软件有多年的合作，我们认为，它的成功主要来自其强大而丰富的社区。
开源软件（如WordPress）让人们能够通过一种强有力又特别的方式整合概念和项目。区块链技术和WordPress在此异曲同工，而EOSIO又有着最强大、最积极的社区。
我们希望能够利用EOSIO技术把WordPress的开放和透明带到全世界。
能和我们介绍下您的团队以及他们的特殊之处吗？
“我们团队之所以与众不同是因为我们在开源软件以及公关和社区两大方面都有深厚的背景。”——Sebastiaan van de Lans
Wordproof现在到了哪个阶段，您接下来的计划是怎么样的？
我们已经和大约50个测试人员完成了产品测试，也在欧洲最大的WordPress活动，WordCamp Europe conference，上向2500名开发者展示了区块链时间戳服务项目。
现在您可以在WordPress.org上获得WordPress Timestamp插件，我们也在对它进行一系列升级。我们也在为非WordPress网站和服务提供解决方案，这样他们就可以利用WordProof添加时间戳。我们和几百个发布者和相关群体讨论过之后，我们注意到，很多人不希望每个编辑都有一个个人的区块链账户，大多数组织认为管理区块链账户和操作钱包很难。
所以我们才提供We Stamp For You 服务，该技术利用一个特殊的时间戳密钥，自动在后台给新内容添加时间戳。
除此以外，我们还在路线图上实现了WordPress主机的去中心化——因为超过70%的WordPress网站毒容易收到一般攻击的影响，而区块链在这方面可以起到很大的作用。
我们也特别希望能够和世界各大公司形成伙伴关系，让公众和网络拥有者能够有工具建立和运行更可靠的网络。
您为什么会利用区块链科技，尤其是EOSIO呢？
区块链技术能够证明信任，这是一个很特别的能力，它对于线上内容管理和发布有巨大的影响。
EOSIO，和WordPress本身一样，是一个开源的软件，这就让生态更加具有协作性和透明性。EOSIO区块链的区块时间很短（0.5秒）也是很重要的——线上内容运转很快，但比如，保护内容如果需要20分钟那就太久了。
我们还很高兴，因为EOSIO区块链不向终端用户收取费用。我们相信，如果想让它规模化，那么证明其品质就应该是免费的。我们产品的主要焦点是访问。而上面提到的EOSIO区块链的长处让它成为我们理想的区块链软件，最终让我们实现全网覆盖的用户基础。
EOSIO社区怎么看待您的项目？
我们最早受到Telos Worker Proposal 的拨款支持，它是第一个成功资助新的开源项目的企业。社区一些出版物，如Everything EOS和EOS Writer，也推荐我们。
有趣的是，我们也对WordPress社区有兴趣，在一个领先的WordPress博客上您能够看到他们的故事。
实际上，WordPress的联合创始人Matt Mullweg曾经夸奖WordPress是目前他看到的WordPress和区块链结合的过程中“最酷的项目之一。”
从WordPress中获益最大的是哪些领域呢？
由此带来的透明度提高和内容来源明确理论上能够让各个行业都获益，但是我们认为以下四个行业是能够获益最多的：
- 法律和医疗
顾客必须100%知道网络上的医疗或法律信息未被篡改，发布者能够承担责任并能够为所发布的信息负责。
- 电子商务
顾客应该明确的知道他们同意的是什么（购买的商品、条款和条件），若合约被撕毁，则用户有权追求网站的责任。
- 公共机构
政府和市政当局和公众发布信息的时候，民众应该能够信任该信息并能验证其真实性。
- 新闻
顾客应该能够知道内容的创建者是谁，内容被做了怎样的调整和修改，以及修改的准确时间。
您怎么看待WordProof可信时间戳的未来？
网络信息的变化现在是不可避免的：信任在减少，民众对反复让他们失望的事情也越来越没有信仰。
我们相信区块链时间戳应该是，也肯定会是，新的标准，而WordProof为此提供了基础。我们希望WordProof能够有效促成WordPress和EOSIO社区的积极合作，从而建立更安全、更可靠的网络。

原文/Original：
Developed by Sebastiaan van der Lans, WordProof represents a powerful toolkit that provides answers to age-old industry problems. By leveraging his expertise and experience with WordPress – the open source content management software empowering 34.5% of the web – and merging it with EOSIO blockchain technology, their tools have the potential to improve the security and accountability of internet content by introducing trusted timestamping for hundreds of millions of users.
How would you describe WordProof?
WordProof is bringing the benefits of blockchain to the world of content, empowering consumers and content creators with the tools to build a safer and more trustworthy internet, starting with WordPress, which powers over one-third of the internet today.
The internet has deep-rooted problems that grow daily: distrust, plagiarism, and fake news. We want to create a new standard for a more reliable and trustworthy internet, with the help of EOSIO blockchain technology.
WordPress already powers more than a third of all webpages on the internet, which makes it a natural and impactful starting point to bring the benefits of EOSIO blockchain technology to millions of websites and hundreds of millions of users.
Our first solution, Wordproof Timestamp, achieves this by allowing content creators to claim ownership and show transparency regarding alterations of their content. Website visitors can then do their own due diligence to determine who owns the content, and if they can be held accountable.
Discerning ownership and accountability, combined with trusted timestamping, enables more trust online, and in turn, a more reliable internet.
After launching the WordProof Timestamp for WordPress plugins, WordProof has started to work on supporting non-WordPress websites as well.
Both WordPress-websites and non-WordPress websites can use the We Stamp For You-service, which automatically timestamps all content in the background.
Editors and website-owners no longer need to be able to manage keys and operate a blockchain wallet to experience the power of blockchain.
What inspired you to create WordProof?
We have worked with WordPress software for many years, and we think that its success comes mostly from its strong and diverse community.
Open source software (like WordPress) allows people to coalesce around concepts and projects in a powerful and unique way. Blockchain technology shares these ideals with WordPress, and EOSIO features one of the strongest and most positive communities.
We hope to use EOSIO technology and bring the openness and transparency of WordPress to everything else in the world.
Can you introduce your team and tell us what makes it special?
“What makes our team special is the extensive track record in both open-source as well as in communications and community.” – Sebastiaan van der Lans
What stage is Wordproof at and what are your plans for scaling?
We have completed testing of the product with around 50 testers, and have presented the blockchain timestamp service project to 2500 developers at the biggest WordPress event in Europe, the WordCamp Europe conference.
The WordProof Timestamp plugin is available now on WordPress.org and we are working on several big improvements to it. We are also developing solutions for non-WordPress websites and services so they can timestamp with WordProof as well. After talking with hundreds of publishers and other interested parties, we noticed that many did not want every editor to have a personal blockchain account and most parties thought managing a blockchain account and operating a wallet was still difficult.
This is why we developed the We Stamp For You service, which automatically timestamps new content on the background using a special Timestamp-key.
Besides that, we have decentralized WordPress hosting on the roadmap – as more than 70% of WordPresssites are vulnerable to common attacks, blockchain could make a big difference here.
We are also actively looking to form partnerships with impactful companies around the world to empower the public and website owners with the tools to build and run a more reliable internet.
Why did you decide to use blockchain technology, and specifically EOSIO?
Blockchain technology is able to prove trust, which is a unique ability and something which will have a huge impact on online content management and publishing.
EOSIO, like WordPress itself, is open source, which makes the ecosystem more collaborative and transparent. The fast block times (0.5 seconds) of EOSIO blockchains are crucial – the world of online content moves quickly, and 20 minutes is too long to wait for content to be protected.
We also love that EOSIO blockchains do not charge fees to end-users. We believe that proving your integrity should be free, if it is to be scalable. The main focus of our products is accessibility, and the advantages of EOSIO blockchains mentioned make it the ideal blockchain software for us to build with to reach an internet-scale user base.
How has the EOSIO Community responded to your project?
We were initially funded by a Telos Worker Proposal grant, which was the first one to successfully fund a new open-source initiative. We have been featured by community publications like Everything EOS and The EOS Writer.
Interestingly, we have had interest from the WordPress community as well, being covered in a leading WordPress blog.
In fact, the co-founder of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg, even said WordProof is “one of the coolest things” he has seen so far in the overlap between blockchain and WordPress!
What industries stand to benefit most from using WordProof?
While practically every industry which uses the internet can benefit from increased transparency and provenance of content, we see four industries which stand to gain the most from using WordProof technology:
- Legal and Medical
Consumers should be 100% sure that medical or legal advice online has not been tampered with, and that the issuer of the advice takes responsibility and can be held accountable for dispensing it.
- E-Commerce
Consumers should know exactly what they agreed to (purchases, terms and conditions) and should be able to hold websites accountable if the agreement is breached.
- Public Institutions
When governments and municipalities disseminate information to the public, the public should be able to trust this information and verify its authenticity.
- Journalism
Consumers should be able to see who the creator of the content is, and what edits or adaptations have been made, and exactly when.
Where do you see WordProof Trusted Timestamping in the future?
Change online is inevitable at this point: trust is in decline and the public is losing faith in things that have let them down repeatedly.
We believe blockchain timestamping should and will become a web standard, and WordProof is providing the foundations for this to happen. We want to see WordProof playing a vital role in active collaboration between the WordPress and EOSIO communities to build a safer and more reliable internet.
