With physical promissory notes, the way to do this is to destroy the original note (since only one copy exists) or to hand it over to the debtor. But with electronic promissory notes, how is the original copy destroyed since an electronic document can be copied endlessly? Mifiel’s solution allows to do it. Since the moment of their issuance, Mifiel’s promissory notes receive a folio which is irreversibly associated to a unique digital asset generated on the blockchain. This way it is ensured that each promissory note is unique. When the electronic promissory note needs to be destroyed, the unique associated digital asset is sent to an address on the blockchain no one has access to. Think of it as a tamper-proof safe deposit box whose only key was thrown away. You can put the promissory note inside this box, but you can’t take it out since the key doesn’t exist anymore. By not having access to the promissory note, it cannot be transferred nor its debt collected. The same thing happens with the Mifiel promissory notes: once they get to the destruction address, no one can get them out to transfer them nor to collect its debt. Therefore, when a Mifiel promissory note involving you is destroyed, you can rest assured that this destruction is definite. - [Document signing](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-signing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to sign a document using the e.firma in Mifiel](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-signing?hsLang=en#how-to-sign-a-document-using-the-e-firma-in-mifiel) - [Features of the e.firma](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-signing?hsLang=en#features-of-the-e-firma) - [Common errors](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-signing?hsLang=en#common-errors) - [Document preparation](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-preparation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Invite signers](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-preparation?hsLang=en#invite-signers) - [Customize the characteristics of a document](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-preparation?hsLang=en#customize-the-characteristics-of-a-document) - [Document management](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-management?hsLang=en#general) - [For document managers](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/document-management?hsLang=en#for-document-managers) - [Verifying a signed document and its signatures](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/verifying-a-signed-document-and-its-signatures?hsLang=en) - [Private signing process of encrypted documents](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/private-signing-process-of-encrypted-documents?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Creation of encrypted documents](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/private-signing-process-of-encrypted-documents?hsLang=en#creation-of-encrypted-documents) - [Signing of encrypted documents](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/private-signing-process-of-encrypted-documents?hsLang=en#signing-of-encrypted-documents) - [Set up of organizations and accounts](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/private-signing-process-of-encrypted-documents?hsLang=en#set-up-of-organizations-and-accounts) - [API integration](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/api-integration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/api-integration?hsLang=en#general) - [Signing widget customizations](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/api-integration?hsLang=en#signing-widget-customizations) - [Additional features](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/api-integration?hsLang=en#additional-features) - [Plans and packets, billing and payment](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/plans-and-packets-billing-and-payment?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Features](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/plans-and-packets-billing-and-payment?hsLang=en#features) - [Pricing scheme](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/plans-and-packets-billing-and-payment?hsLang=en#pricing-scheme) - [Purchasing process](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/plans-and-packets-billing-and-payment?hsLang=en#purchasing-process) - [Billing process](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/plans-and-packets-billing-and-payment?hsLang=en#billing-process) - [Checking your consumption](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/plans-and-packets-billing-and-payment?hsLang=en#checking-your-consumption) - [Managing your e.firma and your Mifiel account](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/managing-your-e-firma-and-your-mifiel-account?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Your Mifiel account](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/managing-your-e-firma-and-your-mifiel-account?hsLang=en#your-mifiel-account) - [Features for signers](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/managing-your-e-firma-and-your-mifiel-account?hsLang=en#features-for-signers) - [Your e.firma (FIEL)](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/managing-your-e-firma-and-your-mifiel-account?hsLang=en#your-e-firma-fiel) - [Legal topics](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/legal-topics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Electronic signature regulations](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/legal-topics?hsLang=en#electronic-signature-regulations) - [Organization Management](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/organization-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Generating an organization in Mifiel](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/organization-management?hsLang=en#generating-an-organization-in-mifiel) - [Adding members and editing their permissions](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/organization-management?hsLang=en#adding-members-and-editing-their-permissions) - [About Mifiel](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/about-mifiel?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General information](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/about-mifiel?hsLang=en#general-information) - [Signing from the app](https://guia.mifiel.com/en/signing-from-the-app?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://guia.mifiel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-only-1.png?width=24&height=24&name=logo-only-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://www.mifiel.com)
