NOORCHAIN
A Human-Centered Blockchain for Social Signals
Private mainnet-like environment — controlled operation, non-public by design.
A Social Signal Blockchain powered by PoSS. Designed for transparent participation, curator validation, and a fixed-supply digital model free from financial speculation.

Current Project Status
A New Approach to Blockchain Design
NOORCHAIN introduces a mission-driven blockchain architecture focused on verified social participation rather than financial speculation. Powered by the PoSS protocol and aligned with Legal Light CH, it provides a transparent and sustainable digital infrastructure for curators, participants, institutions and communities.
PoSS Framing (Non-Consensus)
Read PoSS framingPoSS is not consensus. Network security is provided by a permissioned BFT consensus layer.
PoSS is an application layer. It structures governance, coordination, and verifiable contribution signals.
Economic posture: NUR is the native gas token; NOORCHAIN does not offer returns or custody.
Technology
NOORCHAIN is built using a modular blockchain architecture designed for security, transparency, and verifiable social value.
Core Stack
The network combines a core ledger, an EVM-compatible execution layer, and a dedicated PoSS module. This structure ensures transparent participation rules while allowing developers to build applications on top of a robust foundation.
PoSS Integration
Proof of Signal Social is natively embedded into the protocol. It applies daily limits, computes rewards, and validates participant–curator interactions according to public parameters, focusing on participation and curatorship rather than financial yield.
Security & Governance
Governance mechanisms and multi-sig frameworks protect critical parameters and institutional allocations. All changes are auditable and aligned with NOORCHAIN’s mission-driven, long-term vision.
Engineering Transparency (Controlled)
NOORCHAIN is operated in a controlled, private mainnet-like environment. Public exposure is intentionally limited while feature completeness and security validation are in progress.
- Layer 1: sovereign EVM L1 with a permissioned BFT consensus layer.
- PoSS: application layer for governance and verifiable contribution signals (not consensus).
- Release artifacts: development is tracked through tagged milestones and versioned documentation.
- Public access posture: interfaces are opened progressively after review, not by default.
Proof of Signal Social (PoSS)
PoSS is an application-layer mechanism for governance, coordination, and verifiable social signals. It is not the consensus layer: network security is provided by a permissioned BFT consensus.
Types of Social Signals
- Micro-donations
- Verified participation
- Certified content
- CCN (Communication Network) signals
Reward Distribution
- 70% to the participant generating the signal
- 30% to the curator validating the signal
PoSS includes an 8-year halving cycle and daily limits.
Transparency & Parameters
All PoSS parameters are public, auditable, and governance-driven. No yield promises. No custody.
Curators
Curators are mission-driven actors responsible for validating legitimate social signals within NOORCHAIN. They protect the integrity of PoSS and ensure that participation remains meaningful, fair, and transparent.
Who are the Curators?
Curators include community organizations, NGOs, educators, and trusted social institutions. They act as verifiers of real participation, helping ensure that PoSS signals reflect genuine social contribution rather than automated or manipulative behavior.
Curator Levels
- Bronze — Basic visibility and limited validation rights.
- Silver — Enhanced visibility and increased validation responsibilities.
- Gold — Highest recognition with extended validation scope and institutional trust.
Recognition & Contribution
Curators receive social recognition and increased visibility for their contribution to ecosystem integrity. They may earn PoSS rewards (the 30% curator share), but without any financial guarantees or yield expectations — ensuring compliance with Legal Light CH.
Becoming a Curator
A structured application process will allow qualified organizations to join the curator network. Requirements will emphasize mission alignment, transparency, trusted identity, and measurable social impact.
Genesis Overview
The NOORCHAIN genesis defines the fixed supply, PoSS distribution rules, halving schedule, and the 5 / 5 / 5 / 5 / 80 allocation model that structures long-term sustainability.
Total Supply
The total supply is fixed at 299,792,458 NUR. This supply can never be increased. All PoSS rewards and allocations are derived from this fixed cap, ensuring predictable and auditable issuance over time.
Initial Distribution
At genesis, the supply is structured into five clearly defined components:
- 5% — NOOR Foundation
- 5% — Dev Pool
- 5% — PoSS Stimulus
- 5% — Optional Pre-sale
- 80% — PoSS Mintable Supply
Governance Principles
Genesis governance establishes immutable foundations for NOORCHAIN:
- Fixed total supply cannot be changed.
- Halving of PoSS issuance occurs every 8 years.
- 70% participant / 30% curator reward split.
- All parameters are transparent and publicly auditable.
Genesis Pack
The full genesis documentation, including governance, allocation, economic model and institutional structure, will be available as a public Genesis Pack document.
