WordPress content can now be timestamped on Ethereum

A WordPress plugin allows publishers to timestamp content on Ethereum for immutability and copyright protection.

A plugin for the WordPress web publishing platform now enables users to timestamp content on the Ethereum blockchain.

The plugin can help with copyright issues, proof of who created a piece of content, and to reassure readers it has not been altered.

WordPress currently powers around 37% of all websites and has a 60% share of the CMS market.

Timestamping is important because it provides a unique fingerprint, or hash, for the latest version of the content which has been added to the blockchain.

Head of Product at WordProof, Jelle van der Schoot, stated the company's vision is to be the most user-friendly timestamping tool for use across all content management systems and e-commerce platforms.

"Adding support for Ethereum marks an important step towards achieving this goal, so we're excited to welcome the Ethereum community!".

Crypto is increasingly being integrated into WordPress.

The plugin allows website owners to feature a built in DEX that allows users to exchange between crypto tokens and stablecoins.

The official WordPress site itself already has three pages of plugins categorized as crypto.
