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.
