# Obsero System Architecture

## Components

- Probe: Performs observations and signs data.
- IPFS Node: Stores full proofs.
- Smart Contract: Anchors proof hashes and CIDs.
- Blockchain: Publicly verifiable ledger.
- Explorer/Client: Visualization and validation of proofs.

## Workflow

1. Probe observes service and creates JSON proof.
2. Probe signs and uploads proof to IPFS.
3. Proof hash and CID are submitted on-chain.
4. Public verification of data integrity is possible.
