# DocImprint — Extended reference for AI crawlers

> DocImprint is the reference implementation of verifiable document memory for AI agents — tamper-evident evidence bundles, Merkle citation proofs, MCP tools, and x402 USDC pay-per-call on Base. Canonical definitional page: https://docimprint.com/document-memory

## What is verifiable document memory?

Verifiable document memory is a persistent, cryptographically auditable layer where AI agents store document captures — not just embeddings or summaries, but tamper-evident evidence bundles with manifest SHA-256 hashes, artifact digests, optional Merkle citation proofs (~320 bytes, O(log n)), and chain-of-custody metadata.
