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: ORCID, affiliations, profiles, and attestations. NobleID Person pages for authors, labs, and groups make it clear who is behind each work.

The Proof

Cryptographic Knowledge-Proof Receipts for each version: content hashes, timestamps, and storage pointers, plus an independently verifiable mirror so provenance can be checked by anyone.

Support

Optional, privacy-preserving support and licensing flows with automatic split distributions for co-authors, labs, and collaborators — 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.

Verifiable & trustworthy

Every key action can emit a cryptographic receipt. Provenance isn't a black box — it's inspectable, reproducible, and independently verifiable.

Resilient storage by default

Storage metadata is mirrored on BNB Greenfield, with optional public-chain anchoring for long-term auditability. Links stay stable even if individual platforms change.

Privacy-safe support

Readers can support authors, teams, or labs without exposing their personal payment details. Splits can be set up once and reused across works.

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.
How is this different from DOI + ORCID?
DOI = works; ORCID = people. NobleID unifies both and adds cryptographic provenance, a decentralized mirror, and built-in support/rewards.
Do I need a wallet to use it?
No. Reading, citing, and minting are wallet-free. Support and rewards are optional and privacy-preserving.
Can I keep my DOI and ORCID?
Yes. Link them to your NobleIDs now; switch your default resolver when you're ready.
What does "privacy-preserving support" mean?
Support uses fresh or relayed addresses per click, so permanent wallets aren't exposed; optional on-chain tx references for auditability.
How do revenue splits work?
Declare a policy (e.g., 70/20/10). Incoming support auto-routes according to the split—no manual accounting.
Can reviewers stay anonymous and still be rewarded?
Yes. Reviewers present a short eligibility proof; on validation, funds release to a fresh address. Identity is not revealed.
Where does the blockchain fit?
Receipts and metadata are mirrored to decentralized, content-addressed storage with optional public blockchain anchoring for independent time-stamping.
What about disputes or takedowns?
Reported items show a banner during review; support/tips/rewards/licensing pause; outcomes are recorded with a brief, non-identifying audit line.
Is it only for articles?
No—datasets, software, books/chapters, theses, proceedings, reports, standards, grants, and more.
