About RealStamp Verify
From the official readme · v0.2.0Description
RealStamp Verify turns any WordPress post into a cryptographically verifiable piece of human-authored content. Patent pending. Each stamp is:
- Signed by a verified human (WebAuthn + liveness)
- Cryptographically bound to the exact content (SHA-256)
- Anchored in the public Sigstore Rekor transparency log (Linux Foundation)
- Verifiable independently with no trust in any single party
- Compatible with the C2PA Content Credentials standard (Adobe, Microsoft, BBC, NYT)
Three ways to add a badge:
- Gutenberg block — drop the RealStamp Verify block anywhere and paste a pulse token.
- Shortcode —
[realstamp token="xK9mP2..."]or[realstamp share="abc123def"](the short share-link ID from your stamp page). - Auto-detect — set a post custom field
realstamp_pulse_tokenand the plugin injects a badge automatically.
Who is this for?
- News publishers fighting AI slop
- Creators proving original work
- Legal and forensic publishing
- Any site that wants to display a content-provenance trust signal
How it works
You create a stamp at realstamp.app on your original content. You get a portable pulse token (JWT / SD-JWT). You paste that token into your WordPress post. Readers see a badge; clicking it opens the public verification page which proves: (a) the signer was a real verified human, (b) the content has not been altered since stamping, (c) the stamp is anchored in the public Sigstore Rekor log.
Requires a RealStamp account
This plugin is a consumer of the RealStamp service. Get started at realstamp.app.
Privacy
This plugin embeds a script from cdn.jsdelivr.net which loads the RealStamp Verifier SDK web component. No user personal data is sent to third parties by the plugin itself. When a reader clicks a badge, their browser may contact realstamp.app to verify the stamp.
Installation
- Upload the
realstamp-verifyfolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate through the Plugins menu.
- Visit Settings → RealStamp Verify to configure auto-detection, style, and badge position.
- Add a RealStamp block, shortcode, or custom field to any post.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No. Verification is public — anyone can check any stamp. You only need a RealStamp account to create stamps.
Does this slow down my site?
Minimal impact. The Verifier SDK is a ~10 KB ES module loaded from a CDN with deferred execution. No server calls are made until the badge is clicked or a user scrolls it into view.
Is my content data sent anywhere?
No. Verification checks only the signed pulse token. Your post content is not transmitted during verification.
Does this work with AMP?
The current build uses a web component that is not AMP-safe. An AMP-compatible variant is planned for a future release.
Can I verify stamps offline?
Yes — with the offline mode of the SDK. The plugin will expose a UI toggle for it in a future release.
Does this support the new short share links?
Yes. As of 0.2.0 the shortcode also accepts a share attribute ([realstamp share="abc123"]) so you can paste the short share-link ID from a RealStamp stamp page directly, without needing to copy the full pulse token. Both forms work.
Changelog
Adds a share attribute alongside token in the shortcode and auto-detect, aligning with RealStamp v2.0's shorter share-link format. Fully backward compatible — existing posts continue to render unchanged.
0.2.0 — RealStamp v2.0 platform alignment
- New: shortcode
shareattribute —[realstamp share="abc123"]accepts the short share-link ID from a RealStamp stamp page, alongside the existingtokenattribute. - New: auto-detect now also recognises a
realstamp_share_link_idpost custom field anddata-realstamp-shareHTML attribute. - Fix: synced version metadata across plugin header, block.json, and stable tag (previous releases drifted between 0.1.0 and 0.1.1).
- Compatibility: aligned with RealStamp v2.0 platform release — hardware-bound WebAuthn liveness on iOS and Android, public verifier endpoint, and the shorter
/s/<id>and/u/<username>URL formats.
0.1.1
- Fix: switch SDK source to first-party CDN so badges render reliably.
0.1.0 — Initial public release
- Gutenberg block with inline preview and server-rendered badge.
[realstamp]shortcode.- Auto-detect mode with multiple source options.
- Settings page (auto-detect, Rekor verification, style, position).
- Ships the
@realstamp/verifyweb component via jsDelivr CDN.
