Persistent, verifiable identifiers for digital works

NobleID stores the authoritative record in traditional storage with fixity checks and mirrors it to a decentralized store. We anchor version receipts on a public blockchain, creating an immutable, timestamped proof that a specific digest existed at a specific time.

Anchoring is automatic and invisible to end users.

Resolver pages remain standard links; there are no tokens, wallets, or special software required to view, cite, or integrate NobleID.

Some communities need double-blind or conflict-sensitive evaluation while still rewarding work. NobleID supports an optional, privacy-preserving layer:

• • Reviewer/Contributor Credentials: NobleBlocks (or participating venues) can issue a verifiable credential (e.g., "Eligible Reviewer for Topic Y").
• • Zero-knowledge claims: Contributors can prove they hold the right credential and completed a task without revealing identity.
• • Escrowed rewards: Venues may escrow rewards; contributors submit a ZK claim and receive payment to a fresh, rotating receive address.
• • No de-anonymization: Claims verify eligibility and completion, not who the person is.

This layer is opt-in and integrates via standard APIs.
