How RipHQ verifies every pack

1. Register the sealed unit first

Before a box or case is opened, RipHQ photographs its seals and publishes a hash of the registration record. The record identifies the unit and establishes that registration happened before extraction.

2. Record every pack leaving the unit

Extraction is recorded continuously. The registration transaction hash appears in the footage, tying the recording to the earlier public record. Every extracted pack receives a label and is accounted for, so the unit cannot quietly disappear halfway through processing.

3. Commit the uncut rip recording

Every pack from the unit is opened in one continuous rip recording. RipHQ hashes that file before any pack is sold, so a later replacement would not match the public commitment.

4. Publish the full recording after the final reveal

Each pack has one uninterrupted proof clip cut from that recording. The card images in the customer reveal come from the clip. After the final pack in the unit is revealed, RipHQ publishes the full rip video so the whole opening can be watched in one place.

5. Resolve every pack publicly

A registered unit remains open until every pack has a final outcome: sold, retired, or excluded with a written reason. If a failure happens after extraction, excluded contents are documented when the unit resolves. Exclusions remain part of the public record.

What is stored on-chain?

RipHQ stores hashes of evidence, not card images, videos, or hidden card contents. Recalculating a matching hash shows that a file has not changed since the commitment was published.
