Source code guarantees
The client needs a guarantee that the software will never be orphaned; the developer wants to protect their code. A Capschain capsule keeps the source code encrypted and releases it automatically to the client if the developer disappears or breaches the agreed support.

How it works in this case
- I
Deposit the code
The developer seals the source code and documentation, with the client as recipient.
- II
Keep up support
While the agreed support is alive, the capsule stays closed.
- III
Guaranteed release
If the developer disappears or defaults, the client receives the code, verifiable and complete.
Why a blockchain capsule
The client knows the code exists and is complete.
The developer does not expose the code early.
Proof of which version was deposited and when.
A developer can escrow the source code and release it automatically to the client if they disappear or breach the agreed support.
Frequently asked questions
Can the client see the code early?
No. It stays encrypted until the release conditions are met.
How does the client know which version was deposited?
The fingerprint recorded on the blockchain uniquely identifies the sealed content and its date.
