Prove It: Anchoring Trust in Every Byte with Blockchain Data Certification

Michelle Tan is the Founder & CEO of Data Certify LLC, the definitive platform for blockchain‑based data certification. In an era of deepfakes, synthetic media, and AI‑generated content, she provides the trust infrastructure that verifies the provenance, integrity, and authenticity of any digital asset — from legal contracts and academic transcripts to supply chain logs and training datasets. Her technology issues a cryptographic certificate for data at the moment of creation, anchoring an immutable fingerprint onto the blockchain for permanent, tamper‑evident proof.

With a background in enterprise software, cybersecurity, and compliance, Michelle saw that the digital world lacked a simple, universal way to certify that a file, a record, or a claim existed at a certain time and had not been altered. Data Certify solves this by combining lightweight API integrations with decentralized storage proofs and smart contract‑backed verification pages. Users — from journalists and human rights activists to corporations and AI model auditors — can generate an on‑chain certificate that is instantly verifiable without needing to trust any central authority. Michelle is a recognized voice on data integrity and has advised governments and standards bodies on digital evidence frameworks. At UN Blockchain Week she explains why data certification is not an add‑on for the blockchain industry — it’s the foundational layer that makes the entire decentralized ecosystem trustworthy, accountable, and ready for mass adoption.
