Blockchain Verification
What Gets Anchored
Not every document or event in Vilulia is automatically anchored to the blockchain. Anchoring is triggered by specific finalization events within the platform — moments when a record is complete and should be preserved in its final form. On Professional and Enterprise plans, these events result in a blockchain anchor being created and the transaction hash stored against the case record.

Records that are anchored
The following records are anchored to the Polygon blockchain when the relevant event occurs and blockchain verification is active on the organization's plan:
- Finalized settlement agreements — anchored once the settlement reaches signed status (all parties have signed, via DocuSign or the in-portal signing flow).
- Arbitration awards — anchored when an arbitration award is issued from the case record.
- Training certificates — anchored when a course completion certificate is issued, and only when blockchain verification is enabled for that course.
- Case documents — individual documents can be anchored when verification is enabled for the case.
When anchoring is triggered
Anchoring is event-driven. It runs automatically when a settlement reaches signed status or an award is issued, not on a schedule. A manual anchor control is also available: signed agreements and issued awards both show a Verify on Blockchain button, for records signed offline or where auto-anchoring did not complete.
Checking anchor status
For arbitration awards, anchor status is shown inline in the Awards tab of the case. The transaction hash (tx_hash), block number, and confirmation timestamp are displayed once anchoring is complete. Only authenticated users with access to the case can view this information. A full history of anchored records across your organization is available on the Blockchain Verification History page under Settings, for any signed-in user on a plan with blockchain verification.
What is not anchored
Chat messages, case notes, draft documents, and AI tool outputs that have not been finalized are not anchored to the blockchain. Only records that represent a finalized legal event are eligible for anchoring.
