Verified Identity

One ID, four capabilities

NobleID brings your research objects, identity, provenance, and support flows into one durable, human-readable identifier.

The Work

Persistent links for papers, datasets, software, and multimedia that never rot. Every version of a work stays citable forever, with clear version labels and history.

The Person

Your researcher identity in one place: affiliations, profiles, and attestations. NobleID Person pages for authors, labs, and groups make it clear who is behind each work.

The Proof

A timestamped Knowledge-Proof Receipt for each version, recording a digest of its record. Records are copied to BNB Greenfield.

Support

Optional support by card or crypto, without forcing readers through complex crypto flows.

Why researchers are claiming their NobleID

Built to solve the specific pain points of modern academic publishing and sharing.

Never lose a citation again

Root links always resolve to the latest version, while older versions stay visible and citable. No more dead links in PDFs, slides, or grant applications.

Clear version history

v1, v2, v3… are transparently tracked. Each version has its own receipt and timestamp, so readers can see exactly what changed and when.

On the record

Each version of a work gets a timestamped receipt recording a digest of its record, so its history is on file.

Resilient storage by default

Records are copied to BNB Greenfield and anchored on BNB Smart Chain. Links stay stable even if individual platforms change.

Privacy-safe support

Readers can support authors, teams, or labs by card or from their own wallet.

Professional & shareable

Cleaner than most personal academic websites and designed for mobile, talks, and CVs. One link to rule your research presence.

FAQ

Common questions about the protocol, pricing, and technical integration.

Read API Docs
What exactly is NobleID?
One unified, human-readable ID built on the ARK (Archival Resource Key) standard that binds the Work, the Person, Knowledge-Proof Receipts, and Support into a single, citable link — e.g. ark:/48914/w1/20260128/80D067CA.
What does a NobleID record?
For a work: a permanent ARK link that leads to its latest version, its earlier versions, and a timestamped receipt for each version. For a researcher: a profile with their works and affiliations.
Do I need a wallet to use it?
No. Reading, citing and registering works need no wallet, and support can be paid by card.
My work is already published. Can it have a NobleID?
Yes. Many published papers already have one: search for yours by title or DOI. If it isn't there, register it.
How does support work?
You pay by card, or from your own wallet. Crypto support is sent on-chain through NobleID's payment contract, and the transaction hash is recorded.
How do revenue splits work?
Split templates (e.g., 70/20/10) divide support for editorial and review items among their recipients. Per-work splits are not available yet.
Is NobleID free?
Yes. Registering works and keeping a profile are free. When you receive support, NobleID's platform fee is 3%; card processing fees are separate.
Where does the blockchain fit?
Records are copied to BNB Greenfield, decentralized storage. Records are anchored on BNB Smart Chain in batches. Anyone can check a record's proof.
What about disputes or takedowns?
A reported work shows a notice while it is reviewed, and the outcome is recorded with a short, non-identifying audit line.
Is it only for articles?
No—datasets, software, books/chapters, theses, proceedings, reports, standards, grants, and more.
