Cite it. Verify it. Support it.
What is NobleID?
NobleID is one unified ID that ties a Work, its Person (author identity & attestations), Knowledge-Proof Receipts (verifiable provenance), and Support (privacy-preserving tips/licensing) into a single, citable link. It looks like a normal URL, resolves fast worldwide, and carries cryptographic receipts and a decentralized, blockchain-backed mirror behind the scenes—no wallet needed to read or cite.
Why NobleID
One ID, four capabilities.
Works (PID) + Person (claims & attestations) + Knowledge-Proof Receipts + Support—in a single, human-readable ID.
Verifiable by default.
Signed receipts per version; decentralized mirror; optional public blockchain anchoring.
Creator-first.
Privacy-preserving tips/licensing; automatic split distributions; escrow during disputes.
Versioned & citable.
Root → latest; immutable v1…vN. Export JSON-LD, CSL-JSON, BibTeX, RIS.
Interoperable today.
Link DOIs and ORCIDs now; replace later if desired.
Fast, human, durable.
Clean URLs, sub-second resolve, multi-region durability.
Ready to mint?
It takes seconds. Your work gets a durable home with verifiable receipts.
Generate an IDWho it's for
Authors & Labs
Claim works, collect attestations, accept privacy-preserving support, and keep provenance portable.
Publishers & Repositories
Mint on acceptance; expose structured metadata; show receipts; pause/resume payouts during disputes.
Funders & Programs
Issue a Grant NobleID once; downstream outputs roll up for audits and reporting.
How it works
Generate a NobleID
Generate a NobleID for a work (article, dataset, software, grant…)
Claim with Person
Claim with Person; invite co-author & affiliation attestations
Receipts & Support
Each version emits a signed receipt; enable Support and set split distributions when ready
Blockchain
Blockchain-backed mirror
Decentralized storage on BNB Chain Greenfield (object URIs + public gateway).
Public blockchain anchoring
Daily bundles of receipt fingerprints time-anchored on-chain (Base and/or BNB).
Optional on-chain references
Support/licensing and rewards can include tx refs for audit—without exposing base addresses.
No wallet required
No wallet required to read or cite.
What's inside each version
Knowledge-Proof Receipt (KPR)
Content hashes, timestamps, storage pointers, signer.
Mirror & fixity
Independent, content-addressed mirror + nightly integrity checks; optional public blockchain anchoring.
Citations
JSON-LD, CSL-JSON, BibTeX, RIS.
Identity
Author claims and attestations (ORCID linking optional).
