An injection of the NIST, ETH, LTC, and ZEC Random Beacons into Bitcoin
NIST Inject timestamps random beacons into Bitcoin
A small script that grabs public randomness beacons and commits them to the Bitcoin blockchain as proof of time ordering.
What the script does
NIST Inject is a simple bot that periodically grabs the latest NIST random beacon and a few block hashes from various chains, concatenates them, and timestamps the resulting file. The Open Timestamps project then anchors that timestamp into the Bitcoin blockchain so the moment of creation is provable later.
Why it exists
The process serves two purposes. It timestamps the random beacons, proving they existed before a given Bitcoin block, and it injects a commitment to the beacons into the Bitcoin chain, proving those blocks were created after the beacons. Together with the Restamp project, this constrains when Bitcoin blocks were created both forwards and backwards in time using publicly verifiable evidence.
Licensing and scale
The repository is released under the Unlicense, placing the code in the public domain. The August 2026 snapshot shows 22 stars and 41 forks, with the higher fork count reflecting downstream use of the timestamping approach. It is a small utility rather than a full application, focused on a single cryptographic timestamping task.
Editorial conclusion
The project is released under the Unlicense and records 22 stars with 41 forks as of August 2026. It is a small public domain utility that timestamps public randomness beacons into Bitcoin via Open Timestamps.
