Replacing trust with proof creates a defensible moat

E-signature is a massive market, but the dominant systems are still fundamentally centralized. Certus Ledger’s differentiation is structural: ledger-anchored ceremony evidence that can be verified independently.

Architecture-led moat Regulation tailwinds Enterprise painkiller Global cross-border fit

Problem

Incumbent providers typically rely on centralized audit trails and platform control for evidence packaging. In high-stakes scenarios (regulated industries, cross-border commerce, disputes), buyers increasingly demand stronger, independently verifiable proof.

Solution

Certus Ledger anchors ceremony proofs on a DAG so that document integrity, ceremony sequencing, and key metadata are tamper-evident and independently verifiable — reducing reliance on vendor trust and internal logs.

Why it wins vs incumbents

Technical moat customers understand

“Ledger-anchored ceremony proof” is a clear, defensible message for security teams, auditors, and regulators.

Regulatory & compliance tailwinds

AES/QES-aligned architecture with an integration path for QTSPs supports regulated buyers and cross-border transactions.

Switching drivers

Disputes, audits, and high-risk workflows expose the limits of centralized logs — creating a premium reason to switch.

Enterprise expansion

Start with high-assurance segments, expand into broader e-sign once trust is established.


Go-to-market framing (investor-friendly)

  • Beachheads: regulated industries, cross-border contracts, procurement, legal workflows, compliance-heavy teams
  • Core value prop: independent proof of integrity + dispute-grade evidence
  • Upsell: optional QES via QTSP partnerships, identity/KYB add-ons, and evidence packs for audits
