    The Problem

    Academic publishing generates billions in annual revenue. Researchers — the people who create the work — see almost none of it. The infrastructure is fragmented, expensive, and stuck in the 1990s.

    Identifiers cost money

    DOIs cost $1–$2.50 each plus membership fees. That prices out independent researchers and entire regions.

    No proof of existence

    There's no standard way for a researcher to prove when their work was created or that it hasn't been altered.

    Zero creator monetization

    Millions of papers published every year. $0 flows to the authors from citations or readership. Publishers capture everything.

    Nothing is composable

    Research metadata is locked in proprietary databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Dimensions). None of it is on-chain or programmable.

    NobleID: The Solution

    One platform. One identifier. Free to mint. Blockchain-verified. Monetizable.

    Free Persistent IDs
    Register any research output — papers, datasets, software, books — for free. Built-in versioning. Works with DOI and ORCID, not against them.
    On-Chain Provenance
    Every work gets a cryptographic receipt. Daily Merkle roots anchored to BNB Chain. Independently verifiable — no trust in us required.
    Direct Payments
    Tips and grants flow directly to researchers in crypto. Multi-author splits are automatic. No middleman. 97% to creators.
    Revenue Sharing
    NOBLEID token holders stake and earn a share of all platform revenue — fees, subscriptions, API payments. The more you hold, the more you earn.

    How It Works

    1

    Mint

    Researcher registers a work. Free. Takes 60 seconds. No wallet needed.

    2

    Verify

    Content is hashed, signed, and anchored to BNB Chain. Mirrored to decentralized storage.

    3

    Share

    Add co-authors. They claim their credit and set up payout splits.

    4

    Earn

    Get direct crypto tips from readers. Automatic co-author splits. 97% to creators.

    Competitive Landscape

    NobleID doesn't replace DOI or ORCID — it adds what they're missing: verification, monetization, and composability.

    The NOBLEID Token

    Hold NOBLEID tokens and earn a share of everything the platform makes — fees, subscriptions, API payments. The longer you hold, the more you earn.

    Revenue Share for Holders

    A percentage of all platform revenue is distributed to NOBLEID token holders who stake. Your share is proportional to the amount of tokens you hold and how long you've held them.

    Platform grows → your earnings grow.

    3% Platform Fee

    On every tip and support transaction. Live today.

    Pro Subscriptions

    $10/mo from researchers who upgrade. Recurring revenue.

    Publisher API

    Enterprise pricing from institutions and publishers.

    How You Make Money

    Revenue Share

    Stake NOBLEID → earn a cut of all platform fees, subscriptions, and API payments. Real income from real usage.

    Time-Weighted

    Rewards are based on how many tokens you hold and how long you've held them. Long-term holders earn more.

    Growing Revenue

    More researchers = more transactions = more fees = bigger payouts. Your share grows as the platform grows.
