The Synchronic Web is a distributed network for securing data provenance on the World Wide Web. By enabling clients around the world to freely commit digital information into a single shared view of history, it provides a foundational basis of truth on which to build decentralized and scalable trust across the Internet. Its core cryptographical capability allows mutually distrusting parties to create and verify statements of the following form: "I commit to this information--and only this information--at this moment in time." The backbone of the Synchronic Web infrastructure is a simple, small, and semantic-free blockchain that is accessible to any Internet-enabled entity. The infrastructure is maintained by a permissioned network of well-known servers, called notaries, and accessed by a permissionless group of clients, called ledgers. Through an evolving stack of flexible and composable semantic specifications, the parties cooperate to generate synchronic commitments over arbitrary data. When integrated with existing infrastructures, adapted to diverse domains, and scaled across the breadth of cyberspace, the Synchronic Web provides a ubiquitous mechanism to lock the world's data into unique points in discrete time and digital space.

翻译：《同步网络》是一种用于保障万维网数据来源安全性的分布式网络。通过使全球客户端能够自由地将数字信息提交至统一的历史视图，它为构建去中心化、可扩展的互联网信任体系奠定了事实基础。其核心密码学能力允许互不信任的双方创建并验证如下形式的声明："我在这一时刻承诺该信息——且仅承诺该信息。"该网络的基础架构是一条简单、轻量且无语义的区块链，任何接入互联网的实体均可访问。该基础设施由名为"公证人"的授权知名服务器维护，并由名为"账本"的无权限客户端访问。通过灵活可组合的语义规范演进堆栈，各方协作生成针对任意数据的同步承诺。当与现有基础设施集成、适配多元领域并在网络空间全域扩展时，《同步网络》将提供一种普适机制，将全球数据锁定在离散时间与数字空间的唯一点位上。
