Check a part before you pay
Each handoff and repair is signed by the organization that did it, with a fingerprint of the certificate, so a gap or an altered document shows up before money changes hands.
For lessors, parts buyers, repair stations and aviation insurers
Don't pay for a part whose history might be forged.
An engine part can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and its value depends entirely on its paperwork. Parts with forged release certificates have reached airline engines, and grounding aircraft to find them costs far more than the parts themselves.
The part with perfect paperwork aviation parts
The manufacturer signs a fingerprint of the original release certificate when the part is made, and every shop signs what it received. A forged copy can look perfect, but it can't match the fingerprint.
What it costs you today
Before a sale or a lease return, buyers and lessors pay specialists to reconstruct a part's history back to birth, and still rely on documents that can be copied or altered. When forged paperwork is found after installation, operators ground aircraft, pull parts and absorb the cost.
What changes
Faster lease returns
A part's full chain is one file anyone can verify, instead of weeks of records review.
Contain a bad-part event
If one supplier's paperwork turns out to be forged, every part it touched can be found at once.

How it works now aviation parts
Free in your browser: the manufacturer registers the part, every shop signs what it received and what it did, and a buyer checks the certificate it was sent. A paid report adds a signed rating for lenders and insurers.
How it works
Each party signs a small record at the moment it takes responsibility. The records chain together, so a missing, edited or forged one is caught.
| Record | Signed by | Says |
|---|---|---|
| aviation.part/1 | the manufacturer | part number, serial, and a fingerprint of the original release certificate |
| aviation.handoff/1 | the receiving organization | received this part from that organization, with this certificate fingerprint |
| aviation.work/1 | the repair station | work performed, a fingerprint of the new certificate, and the record it follows |
All records use canonical JSON, a SHA-256 fingerprint and an Ed25519 signature, the same primitives proven in our space custody work.

Certificates are never stored, only fingerprinted, so an edited or re-used document fails the check before money changes hands.
Where it stands
- Status. Working today, free: sign your own records and check them in your browser with the sign-and-check app, built from the open-source code (Apache-2.0) with automated tests. A design partner helps us connect it to your own systems and devices. We want a parts distributor, repair station or lessor.
- For insurers. Aviation insurers and lessors can confirm a part's history is genuine before paying a claim or accepting an aircraft back.
- Scope. Civil aviation only. This is evidence tooling, not an approved data system, and does not replace regulator or operator approval processes.
- Billing. Pay as you go in US dollars or Bitcoin BSV, with prepaid credits or by invoice. Paying in dollars needs no cryptocurrency (how billing works, start now).
