El Salvador has officially introduced AuthenticDoc, a new digital signature platform developed locally and unveiled during the Adopting Bitcoin conference held in San Salvador in 2025. Co-founder Fabian highlighted the platform’s features and potential impact, emphasizing its use of Bitcoin-compatible cryptography and the Nostr protocol to provide a decentralized, secure, and transparent signing system. AuthenticDoc aims to address the shortcomings of traditional centralized digital signature platforms like DocuSign, which currently holds about 70% of the digital signature market valued at approximately $10 billion. Market experts predict this sector could grow to $60 billion by 2030, driven by trends such as remote work and regulatory frameworks like the EU’s eIDAS and the US ESIGN Act. AuthenticDoc offers users control over their private keys and ensures tamper-proof document verification without relying on centralized storage. Instead, it uses Nostr’s event-based system to store documents and signatures across multiple network locations, guaranteeing secure data storage and distribution. The platform seeks to provide businesses with a reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional licensing models. Originating in El Salvador with local talent and government support, AuthenticDoc plans to expand into markets across Latin America, North America, and Europe, enhancing El Salvador’s reputation in technology and marking a significant step toward future digital security systems based on Bitcoin.
