FAQ
Is a Verity registration legally binding?
Not on its own. A Verity registration is a durable, signed public record — evidence in a dispute, but not a substitute for a deed, contract, or other legal instrument in your jurisdiction. Use it as supplementary provenance, not as your sole legal artifact.
How is a Portal token different from the registry entry?
The registry entry is a signed on-chain claim — free of platform lock-in, chain-agnostic, permanent. A Portal token is an ERC-20 deployed on Base or Robinhood Chain that is backed by the registered asset and openly tradable from launch. You can register without ever tokenizing; tokenizing requires an existing registry entry.
What if two people register the same asset?
Verity flags conflicts automatically (see conflict detection). Both listings remain visible, both display a “Potential conflict” panel pointing at each other, and either wallet can dispute the other. Buyers evaluate the evidence — endorsements, verifier attestations, timestamps, tier — and choose which listing to trust.
Can I delete my listing?
No. Signed records are permanent by design — a registry that could be edited or deleted wouldn't be trustworthy evidence. You can post status updates to correct or contextualize a listing.
How much does it cost?
Registering costs a fraction of a cent — the gas fee for one small transaction on Base or Robinhood Chain. Tokenizing on the Portal costs the gas to deploy an ERC-20 and seed the trading pool, plus whatever initial liquidity you contribute. Anchoring transfers on-chain costs a fraction of a cent.
Is my data private?
No. Everything you register — name, description, location, documentation URL, on-chain transaction — is public. Do not include information you wouldn't publish on your own website.
How do I become a verifier?
Visit /verifiers and sign a declaration message with your wallet. Include your professional category, a display name, and a public proof URL that establishes your credential. The declaration is public and permissionless — Verity does not vet you, but readers can dispute your claim if false.
What happens if the wallet holding my listing is lost?
Without the private key, the wallet cannot post updates, initiate transfers, or manage a Portal launch. The listing remains public and accessible, and any launched tokens continue trading on their pools. There is no recovery path — this is a wallet-security problem, not a Verity problem. Consider secure key storage or a multi-signature/social- recovery wallet if this is a concern.
Can I contact the team?
Yes — for partnerships, integrations, verifier onboarding, investor conversations, or press, visit /partners.
