Bounty & RFP Submissions
Use TextSeal to lock your bounty and RFP drafts with tamper-proof proof of existence. Protect your work before anyone else discloses theirs.
How TextSeal Helps You Lock Your Bounty & RFP Submissions Before Anyone Else
When you're preparing to submit to a bug bounty program, security vulnerability disclosure, or a competitive RFP (Request for Proposal), timing is everything. Disclosing too early risks losing your edge, while waiting too long risks someone else submitting similar work before you.
The Problem: Race to Disclose and Submit
In fast-paced environments like security bounty programs or public RFPs, being the first to submit matters. But while you're refining your proposal, proof-of-concept, or report, someone else might beat you to it. Traditional tools like emails or cloud storage don't provide immutable, time-stamped proof that you had the idea or submission first.
This creates a trust gap:
- How can you prove you had the draft first, if you wait to submit it later?
- How can you safely lock your draft without exposing it publicly?
The Solution: TextSeal's Locked Draft Proof
TextSeal lets you lock your draft privately with tamper-proof proof of existence, ensuring that:
- You can continue working on your submission while keeping a verifiable timestamp of your initial draft.
- You maintain full confidentiality—your content is not uploaded, only its fingerprint is sealed.
- You can later demonstrate you had the content at a specific date and time, even if you didn't submit it yet.
Example Use Cases
✔ Security Bounty Reports
You've found a vulnerability but want to refine your proof-of-concept. With TextSeal, you can lock your initial discovery date securely, giving you peace of mind while you prepare a polished report.
✔ RFP Proposal Drafts
You're crafting a winning proposal but need days to fine-tune it. TextSeal allows you to lock your early draft, ensuring you can prove your originality and submission precedence in case of disputes.
✔ Research & Innovation
Before sharing your innovative approach in a bounty or RFP, TextSeal gives you private, timestamped assurance, protecting your work from premature leaks or challenges.
Why Use TextSeal Over Traditional Tools?
| Traditional Methods | TextSeal |
|---|---|
| Email to yourself (unreliable timestamps, content exposed) | Tamper-proof timestamp, no content ever leaves your device |
| Cloud storage (timestamp can be modified, not proof of originality) | Immutable proof based on cryptographic fingerprint |
| Waiting until submission (no proof during preparation stage) | Instant proof from day one of your draft |
TextSeal empowers bounty hunters, security researchers, and proposal teams to work smarter and safer — locking your draft before anyone else discloses theirs.
