Public transparency log witness

Witness for https://api.fd0.sh

Independent observer of the fd0.sh server's signed tree heads. Consistency-verified observations are cosigned; fork evidence is archived and flagged. Pin the witness pubkey below in your client to require its cosign on every sync.

Verify yourself
curl + jq

The witness API is read-only and unauthenticated. Pull any STH and compare against what the server gave your client — the cosign should match.

$ curl -sS https://witness.fd0.sh/v1/server-info | cbor2json
{
  "witness_pub":     "0x233848710d80517e...",
  "witness_pub_hex": "233848710d80517e..."
}

# All chains the witness has archived for https://api.fd0.sh
$ curl -sS https://witness.fd0.sh/v1/observed/$(echo -n "https://api.fd0.sh" | basenc --base64url -w0 | tr -d '=')
What this guarantees

Both tables matter. Listing a witness only makes it available; cross-checking stays off until min_cosigns is at least 1. The default is 0, which disables it entirely, so a config with the witness alone verifies nothing. With the policy set, every sync verifies the server's STH against this witness's cosign. If the server ever publishes a fork — two distinct root hashes at the same tree_size — the witness flags equivocation and your client refuses the sync. That makes server-side equivocation cryptographically detectable rather than a matter of trust.

Run your own witness: docs/TRANSLOG.md §8. The more independent witnesses, the harder undetected equivocation becomes.
