This technical document describes the methodology used to certify the authorship, integrity, and temporal precedence of the proprietary protocols "SmartTap Color Code™️" and "The TAPIA Protocol". Addressing the inefficiencies of traditional patent registries in early-stage development, a Cryptographic Commitment Scheme is implemented using SHA-256 hashing and public blockchain anchoring (Ethereum/Polygon). This method establishes irrefutable evidence of "Prior Art" without revealing industrial secrets.

The process guarantees the integrity of the "Trade Secret" while establishing a public proof of existence:

The SHA-256 algorithm is used to generate a unique alphanumeric string (Hash) from the final PDF documents.

• Any alteration, even a single bit, in the original document would result in a completely different Hash (Avalanche Effect).

• This guarantees the integrity of the custodied document.

The generated Hash is included as input data payload in a transaction towards the author's address on the Ethereum Network (EVM).

• The transaction is recorded in a block with an immutable date and time.

• The network acts as a distributed witness, eliminating the need for a central trusted authority.

The author can demonstrate possession of the original information at any future time by presenting the PDF file. A third party can recalculate the file's Hash and compare it with the blockchain record. If they match, the proof of authorship is mathematically irrefutable.

Through this protocol, the following intellectual assets owned by Jose Emilio Tapia Najar are certified:

• Description: Predictive last-mile logistics system and visual inventory interface.

• English Version Hash (SHA-256): FDB6731E5AC44AA0CBF65FEE860B164BF6FAD153A496F4D24AEB552D90FF2FA1

• Description: Financial engineering framework for sovereign wealth accumulation and DeFi leverage.

• English Version Hash (SHA-256): B23F43DE58386975A199DE166688D08DEA28420FE1EC12642C62CA87ACDA288F

This implementation demonstrates how blockchain technology can democratize access to intellectual property protection, allowing inventors to secure their "Prior Art" quickly, economically, and perpetually.
