FAQ. Notaricoin / Notarichain

Technical
What is Notarichain?
Notarichain is a Solana-based Layer-2 designed for digital authentication.
It reduces notarization costs from $0.10–1.00 to $0.00001 per document while maintaining security via four blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and TON.
What is Notaricoin ($NOTA)?
$NOTA is the utility token powering Notarichain.
Each notarization burns tokens, decreasing the total supply as usage increases.
What’s the difference between Notarify and Notarichain?
  • Notarify = The application platform for document management and signatures.
  • Notarichain = The blockchain infrastructure enabling ultra-low-cost notarization.

Think: email app vs. the email servers.
How does it work technically?
When you upload a document, Notarify creates a unique cryptographic hash and stores it across four blockchains simultaneously.
The document stays private; only the hash is public.
Why multi-blockchain?
Redundancy.
If one blockchain fails, three others preserve verification.
No single point of failure.
Are my documents public?
No.
Only the hash is stored on-chain.
The document remains fully private.
How secure is it?
Security is based on industry-standard public-key cryptography.
With 10+ million notarizations, not a single tampering case has been detected.
What happens if Notarify shuts down?
Verification still works.
Hashes live on independent public blockchains forever.

Notarify is not required to validate past documents.
Platform
What can I do with Notarify?
Upload, sign, store, certify documents; collaborate; and use AI assistance for drafting, translating, and analyzing contracts.

Compliance & Legal Value
Do Notarify documents have legal value?
Yes.
Italy’s Law 12/2019 equates blockchain timestamps with qualified timestamps.
Recognized across all 27 EU states under eIDAS.
What does a “qualified timestamp” mean?
It legally certifies when a document existed in a precise form.
Courts must accept it unless disproven — which is mathematically impossible on blockchain.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes.
Only non-personal hashes are stored on-chain.
The original document can be deleted anytime (right to erasure).
Economics & Practical Use
How much does it cost?
  • Pay-per-use and subscription options;
  • Digital notarization = cents or less;
  • Physical notarization = €25–3000;
  • Notarichain cost = $0.00001 per document.
How long does notarization take?
It’s instant.
Hash creation and blockchain registration happen in real time.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No.
It works like uploading to Dropbox; everything else is automatic

Comparison with Alternatives
Why not use only Ethereum or Bitcoin?
They are too expensive for mass notarization.
Notarichain reduces cost to fractions of a cent while keeping multi-chain security.
What’s the difference between blockchain notarization and digital signature?
  • Digital signature = who signed
  • Blockchain notarization = when + what existed
Together they offer maximum legal certainty.
Why not use screenshots or PDF/A?
They can be altered by changing your computer clock; blockchain cannot.
Advanced Technical
How does multi-blockchain routing work?
The system dynamically selects the optimal combination of blockchains based on real-time cost and speed.
What is Layer-2 architecture?
A faster, cheaper secondary blockchain that later settles records to main chains — improving scalability and cost.
How many transactions can it handle?
The microservice architecture scales horizontally with no theoretical limit; uptime is 99.9%.

FAQ. Notarify — Global Blockchain Infrastructure Compatibility

Is Notarify compatible with European blockchain infrastructure standards (EBSI/IBSI)?
Yes. Notarify’s multi-layer blockchain architecture is compatible with EBSI (European Blockchain Services Infrastructure) and IBSI (Italian Blockchain Services Infrastructure).
It uses multiple public blockchain protocols — Bitcoin, Ethereum, TON, Solana — and the upcoming Notarichain, aligned with European standards.
It also supports client-specific integration for EU-funded projects and “Made in Italy” certification programs.
What’s the difference between your standard service and EBSI/IBSI integration?
Standard Service Includes:
  • Four layers of blockchain verification
  • Immutable timestamps
  • Publicly verifiable proof of authenticity
  • Compliance with Italian & EU regulations

EBSI/IBSI Integration Offers:
  • Optional fifth verification layer
  • EU institutional requirements
  • Integration into European registries
  • Compliance for “Made in Italy” catalog

Most clients do not require EBSI/IBSI unless mandated.
Do I need EBSI/IBSI for my business?
Usually no.
The standard architecture already provides legal validity, tamper-proof verification, eIDAS/GDPR compliance, and international recognition.
EBSI/IBSI is only needed when required by EU funding programs, Italian certification catalogs, or government tenders.
How long would EBSI/IBSI integration take?
Typically 4–6 weeks including registration, node integration, testing, certification, and compliance documentation.
It does not disrupt existing workflows.
Is Notarify compatible with international blockchain infrastructure standards?
Yes.
The system is architecturally compatible with public-sector blockchain frameworks globally, including:
  • UAE (Emirates Blockchain Strategy)
  • Singapore (OpenAttestation, TradeTrust)
  • U.S. digital notarization frameworks
  • Estonia’s KSI & X-Road
  • Switzerland’s SSI-based ID systems
  • South Korea’s national digital ID blockchain

Dedicated integration can be added when required.
Do you need government blockchain integration?
Most organizations do not.
Standard multi-layer notarization already provides global verifiability, eIDAS/UETA/ESIGN compliance, decentralization, and cross-border recognition.
Government integration is needed only for tenders or regulatory mandates.

FAQ. General information

What is blockchain?
A technology that records information in a secure, transparent, and immutable way. Data is saved in linked “blocks,” forming a tamper-evident chain.
Why is blockchain considered secure?
Data is distributed across many nodes and protected with cryptography. There’s no single point of control, which greatly reduces tampering and fraud risks.
What’s the difference between public and private blockchains?
Public chains (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) are open to everyone; private chains are run by organizations. Notarify uses a hybrid, multi-blockchain approach to maximize both security and confidentiality.
What is a hash?
A cryptographic fingerprint of a file. Even a tiny change in content produces a completely different hash, ensuring data integrity.
What is a timestamp (marca temporale)?
A certified date-and-time proof showing when a document existed in a specific form. On blockchain, this is automatic and tamper-evident.
Legal Validity & Compliance
Do Notarify’s blockchain notarizations have legal value in Italy and the EU?
Yes. They align with eIDAS and the Italian framework for qualified timestamps. (From PDFs.)
What does “qualified timestamp” mean?
A legally recognized proof of when a document existed, which courts must accept unless disproven; with blockchain this is practically impossible.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. Only the hash is on-chain (not personal data). The original file remains under your control and can be deleted; the hash alone is useless without the file.
Where are blockchain notarizations recognized?
EU (27), Italy, the UK, Switzerland, U.S. (wide state-level recognition of e-records and e-notarization), Singapore, UAE, Estonia, and more. (From PDFs + your text; for the global frameworks see also international compatibility.)
How long do blockchain notarizations remain valid?
Indefinitely. Unlike some traditional timestamps (~20 years), blockchain entries are permanent and verifiable independently of Notarify (by querying public nodes). (From your text + PDFs.)
Blockchain vs. Digital Archiving (Conservazione Sostitutiva)
What’s the main difference?
  • Blockchain validation proves integrity + exact time, but doesn’t manage long-term storage.
  • Legally compliant digital archiving (Italy: CAD, AgID guidelines, DPCM 03/12/2013) ensures legal validity, retention, and retrieval over time.
Does blockchain replace compliant archiving?
No. They are complementary.
Can I use both together?
Yes — this is ideal: notarize on blockchain for integrity/time-proof, and store in an AgID-compliant archive for legal retention.
For which documents is compliant archiving mandatory (Italy)?
E-invoices & tax docs, financial statements & statutory books, tax returns, digitally signed contracts requiring multi-year retention, PA documents/acts, etc. (Per CAD/AgID framework noted in your text.)

Digital Product Passport (DPP) — EU ESPR
What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP)?
A digital “twin” of a physical product with lifecycle data: origin, materials, carbon footprint, ownership/transfers, maintenance/repairs, certificates/warranties, and end-of-life instructions. Access via QR/barcode/NFC. (Your text + PDF alignment.)
Why blockchain for DPP?
Immutability, security, transparency, decentralization—verifiable anti-greenwashing proof.
Who can access DPP data?
Layered access: public consumer info vs. private technical/supply-chain data for manufacturers, recyclers, and authorities.
When does DPP become mandatory? Which sectors?
According to ESPR timelines noted in your text: batteries (>2kWh) first, then textiles, electronics, furniture, etc., rolling out ~2026–2030 depending on sector. (From your text + PDF umbrella.)
Penalties for non-compliance?

Strategy, Security & AI Fraud
Why “Digital Certainty” vs. “Digital Trust”?
Human “trust” can be fooled (e.g., AI-generated voices, faces, documents). Blockchain provides mathematical certainty: you cannot backdate a document on-chain.
How does this protect against AI-generated fraud?
Even perfect synthetic content cannot be retrodated. Cryptographic timestamps create a tamper-evident barrier.
Implementation & Roll-out
Typical implementation timelines?
  • Proof of Concept: ~2–4 weeks
  • Pilot: ~1–2 months
  • Full roll-out: ~3–6 months
