After installation, the EsReal plugin runs fully automatically in the background. When you visit a website, the plugin checks whether the domain has been technically verified via the EsReal vDOMAIN system. You browse as usual, while the authenticity of the domain is checked automatically.

EsReal supports a growing list of verified websites, portals and online services. New verified websites are added every month. Companies can have their own domains verified via the vDOMAIN programme.

EsReal is an international brand name that refers to the idea of authenticity, objective verification and trust. “Real” stands for genuine and authentic – a concept that is directly recognisable in many languages.

No. EsReal is completely independent and separate from identity, login or authentication services. EsReal focuses exclusively on the technical verification of websites (vDOMAIN) and officially issued links and documents (vURL).

EsReal is a technical verification layer that allows companies and organisations to issue verifiable links (vURLs). This enables anyone to objectively verify who a link comes from and whether the data has not been changed. EsReal is not an identification platform, not a login system and not an authority over content.

A vURL is a technically verifiable link that proves which company or organisation issued the link and that the data has not been changed since publication. Anyone can verify a vURL without an app, without installation and without an account. The link itself contains the proof.

No. Using EsReal is completely voluntary. Companies decide for themselves whether they want to make their links, documents or communication verifiable via a vURL. EsReal is not a gatekeeper, not a filter and not a mandatory intermediary layer.

No. EsReal does not read documents, does not assess content and does not moderate communication. EsReal only validates the technical origin and integrity of data based on cryptographic proof.

No. EsReal does not verify individuals. EsReal only verifies that a link or dataset was officially issued by a validated organisation and that the data has not been changed since publication.

No. EsReal does not track users, click behaviour or register personal data of recipients. Verification is performed entirely on the basis of public and technical checks.

No. Companies remain fully in control of their communication. EsReal does not block links, does not change content and cannot stop or enforce communication. The platform only provides technical verification.

EsReal is intended for companies, organisations and individuals who want to share information in an official and verifiable way via links, documents, invitations, reports and communication.

EsReal is not an identity service, not a login provider, not a payment platform, not a communication network, not a data broker and not a regulator. EsReal only provides technical verification of origin.

Yes. Every vURL comes with a built-in mini API. By simply adding &json=true to a vURL, an application automatically receives a fully verifiable JSON response with the validated data, the checks performed, the trust score and – where applicable – the blockchain anchoring.

This allows external software platforms, scanners, apps and backend systems to read and technically verify vURLs directly, without extra accounts, tokens or installations.

Technical documentation and examples are publicly available via our GitHub page.

A vDOMAIN is a technically verified domain within the EsReal platform. It means that the company behind the domain has been thoroughly checked and officially linked to that specific web address.

When a user with the EsReal plugin visits a website with vDOMAIN, they immediately see that it is a genuine, verified website. This actively helps to prevent phishing, fake websites and deception.

vDOMAIN is used for websites, customer portals, web applications and internal business environments where reliability is crucial.

Shareable vURLs are officially issued links from a verified partner. They are used to safely share URLs, documents or information with customers, citizens or partners.

The recipient does not need to install any software. By opening the link, anyone can immediately check: who issued the link, whether the content is genuine and whether it has not been modified.

Shareable vURLs are ideal for e-mail, SMS, WhatsApp, QR codes, invoices, documents, contracts, reports and customer communication where trust is essential.

Yes. A vURL can optionally be given an expiry date, a limited validity period or additional terms of use.

This makes it possible to use links temporarily, for example for sensitive documents, one-off communication or temporary access to information. After expiration, technical verification remains visible, but the content can no longer be used as active.

A vURL is technically protected against forgery. Each link contains cryptographic checks and can – where applicable – also be anchored on a blockchain.

When someone tries to change or fake a vURL, verification will immediately fail and it will be clearly shown that the link is not valid. In this way, deception becomes technically visible.

Yes. EsReal is designed as a scalable and independent verification platform. It can be used by governments, cities, utilities, healthcare institutions and large enterprises.

The platform is suitable for verifying official websites, digital communication, documents, reports, certificates and public information, without citizens needing to install extra software.

EsReal is designed according to the principles of privacy by design and security by design. The platform processes only those data that are necessary for technical verification and evidence.

For personal data shared via vURLs, the original issuer (partner) always remains the data controller in the sense of the GDPR. EsReal acts solely as a technical verification and evidence platform.

EsReal supports technical measures in line with common security standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 (information security), without itself acting as a certification body.

Any use of vDOMAIN and vURL takes place within the applicable European and national legislation on data protection, digital communication and electronic evidence.
