A Sigil is one specific physical item with its Sigilium (the NFC chip) installed — the unit, never the SKU model it was made from. PlugZ issues one when a brand registers an item at its drop, or when a hub registers an item a verifier inspected. Enter a Sigil ID to read that item's registry record — no account needed.
Each registered item gets its own Sigil ID, generated by PlugZ and starting with sig_. Enter it here, or open a certificate link that already carries it (/verify?id=sig_…), and we read the record live from the PlugZ authenticity registry.
A Sigil is written to the PlugZ registry the moment it is created, and most records already carry an on-chain commitment reference — this page shows it as soon as it exists. A record that still reads “Not anchored yet” is a real, registered item whose commitment has not been written. The provenance trail is a separate list: it shows only ownership transfers anchored on the PlugZ chain, so it stays empty until an item changes hands.
The Sigil ID appears on the certificate link shared with the item. If you have the item in hand and it carries an NFC tag, tapping it opens the same certificate.
A record never identifies the owner — only the item's own history. An owner can set a Sigil to private; a private Sigil returns no public record, the same response as an ID that does not exist.
This lookup reads the PlugZ authenticity registry. It reports what PlugZ recorded for a Sigil ID; it is not a scan of the object in front of you.
