{"version":1,"id":"uhrate","title":"UHRATE","summary":"UHRATE is a projects-and-protocols that provides a decentralized authenticity network combining AI analysis and blockchain anchoring to create permanent on-chain identities and authenticity checks for digital files.","content":"**UHRATE** is a self-described \"decentralized notary for the digital world,\" a blockchain-and-artificial-intelligence platform that assigns digital files a permanent, immutable on-chain identity to prove their existence, ownership, and authenticity. The project describes itself as a \"Decentralized Authenticity Network\" and, according to its [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper), was founded in 2025 by anonymous authors.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha)​[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The platform combines AI content analysis with cryptographic hashing and multi-chain registration, and it is powered by a native token, UHR, deployed on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20).[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)​\n\nUHRATE operates a live web platform (given in its documentation as uhrate.xyz and uhrate.online) that offers file verification, document and credential registries, media authentication, NFT certificate minting, and identity badge issuance, all backed by [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) records and IPFS storage.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The project frames Its opportunity around a \"$50B+ document verification market with zero dominant [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) player.\"[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha)​\n\n## Overview\n\nUHRATE positions itself as infrastructure for provenance and integrity in an environment where AI-generated content is increasingly indistinguishable from authentic material. The [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper) identifies the problems it aims to address as widespread AI-generated deepfakes, document fraud, lack of media provenance, credential fraud, and the absence of a universal, trustless standard for authenticity verification.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The company frames a shift in trust norms it summarizes as moving from \"trust, then verify\" to \"verify, then\" trust, arguing that \"seeing is no longer believing\" amid deepfakes, voice clones, and synthetic documents.[[3]](#cite-id-rrprcz816m)\n\nThe platform presents two primary consumer-facing tools on a single interface. \"Digital Identity\" creates a permanent on-chain record of a file, issued as an NFT certificate that the company says is verifiable by anyone, requires no central authority or middleman, and does not expire.[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha) \"Authenticity Check\" is an analysis tool that the company states is free and requires no account, offering AI deepfake detection, an AI-generation probability estimate, manipulation analysis, a trust score from 0 to 100, and a detailed report.[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha) Both tools accept images, videos, audio, PDFs, and documents up to a maximum file size of 50MB via drag-and-drop or file browsing.[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha)\n\nThe company describes its competitive moat as the breadth of its verification verticals, chain-neutrality across multiple [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), and a token-aligned economy, differentiating itself as a unified multi-vertical platform rather than a single-purpose tool.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) Public-facing counters on the platform reported four files identified, six blockchains, and unbounded (\"∞\") figures for AI models and \"years of proof.\"[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha)\n\n## How Verification Works\n\nThe platform describes a five-step process for issuing a digital identity to a file. A user first uploads a file of any type up to 50MB. The system then generates what it calls a \"DNA Fingerprint\" — a unique SHA-256 hash presented as the file's permanent identifier. An AI analysis stage produces deepfake, manipulation, and AI-detection scores. The resulting hash is then deployed to a chosen [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) as a permanent, immutable on-chain record, after which the identity is issued and the user can download a certificate and share verifiable proof.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha)​\n\nUnderlying this flow is what the [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper) calls a file's \"Digital DNA,\" composed of a SHA-256 hash, a SHA-512 hash, and a perceptual hash fingerprint; images additionally receive perceptual hashing to detect visual alterations.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The company states that AI analysis is performed using the Anthropic Claude API (Vision), which examines files for artifacts, metadata inconsistencies, compositional Anomalities, and statistical patterns. Each verification produces five confidence scores — an Originality [Score](https://iq.wiki/wiki/score), AI Probability, Deepfake Risk, Manipulation Score, and Trust Score — together with a plain-language summary.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The company states the pipeline typically completes in under thirty seconds.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)​\n\nAccording to the whitepaper, the underlying stack is built on Next.js 14, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS on the frontend, with a Supabase (PostgreSQL) database, IPFS storage via Pinata, [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) written in [Solidity](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solidity) (using the BEP20 and ERC721 standards), [MetaMask](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metamask) and [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) wallet integration via ethers.js v6, email delivery through the Resend API, and hosting on Vercel's edge network.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The company states that uploaded files are processed in memory and never permanently stored on UHRATE servers, with only cryptographic fingerprints and analysis metadata retained. It further states that blockchain features are user-paid and self-custodial, that UHRATE never holds users' private keys or funds, and that on-chain transactions are signed by users through MetaMask. Additional stated security measures include bcrypt password hashing, row-level security on database tables, environment-variable isolation for keys, and HTTPS-only communication.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)​\n\n## Registries and Products\n\nBeyond single-file verification, UHRATE describes a set of registries and services tailored to specific verticals, all backed by on-chain records and IPFS-stored metadata. The document registry lets users register a document's SHA-256 hash on-chain, with metadata stored on IPFS, via [MetaMask](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metamask) on any supported chain.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) An Educational Credential Registry allows universities and institutions to register degree certificates, which employers can then verify by Registry ID, student name, or institution; the company states an AI autofill feature reads certificate images and detects mismatches.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) A Legal Document Registry lets law firms register contracts, non-disclosure agreements, deeds, and affidavits with [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) timestamps, while a Media Verification Registry lets journalists register photos, videos, and reports together with capture date, location, and provenance data.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\nThe company frames these registries around concrete sector use cases. It suggests journalists and media organizations timestamp original footage on-chain before publishing to prove capture time and location; universities issue tamper-proof certificates to counter fake degrees, which the company claims are sold online for $200; creators and artists timestamp work to establish proof of creation; law firms hash contracts so that later alterations produce detectable mismatches; and banks and financial institutions require blockchain identity on submitted documents, a step the company claims would make fraud \"cryptographically impossible.\"[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha)\n\nAn Identity Badge System allows users to apply for verified badges as creators, journalists, institutions, legal professionals, medical professionals, government entities, or businesses. According to the [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper), badge applications are reviewed and approved by UHRATE administrators and recorded permanently on-chain.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) After verification, users can mint an NFT authenticity certificate on BNB Smart Chain [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) through MetaMask, paying their own [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) fees; the NFTs contain full verification metadata.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\nFor business customers, UHRATE describes an Enterprise Bulk Verification service through which clients can verify up to 20 files simultaneously via a bulk portal or REST API, with API keys issued per account and rate limits configurable by subscription tier.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) A documented developer REST API with API-key authentication and per-request rate limiting is offered for integrating verification into external systems at scale.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\nThe whitepaper lists support for verification and registration across eight blockchains: BNB Smart Chain, [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), [Polygon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/polygon), [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum), [Optimism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/optimism), [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), [Avalanche](https://iq.wiki/wiki/avalanche), and BNB [Testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet).[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The consumer-facing platform lists ETH, BNB, Base, and Polygon as supported chains for identity deployment, and prices a Digital Identity deployment at \"$0.20 or $0.10 in UHR\" plus network gas fees.[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha)\n\n## UHR Token\n\n**UHR** is the native token that the company states \"powers the entire network.\"[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha) It is the UHRATE Token, a BEP20 asset on BNB Smart Chain with 18 decimals and the contract address 0xFD8723F83F5A441EdB231F2ef1f89113B481E447.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The total supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 UHR (one billion), and the [tokenomics](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tokenomics) documentation states there will be no minting ever.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh) The company describes UHR as both a [utility token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/utility-token) and a [governance token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/governance-tokens).[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n\n### Allocation and Vesting\n\nThe self-reported allocation of the one billion supply is distributed across seven categories:\n\n- **Community & Ecosystem** — 30% (300,000,000 UHR), released over four years.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n- **Platform Rewards & [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking)** — 20% (200,000,000 UHR), with a monthly unlock over three years.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n- **Team & Founders** — 15% (150,000,000 UHR), with a 12-month cliff and three-year vesting.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n- **Public Sale** — 12% (120,000,000 UHR), with 20% released at the token generation event and the remaining 80% over 12 months.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n- **Treasury & [Reserve](https://iq.wiki/wiki/reserve)** — 10% (100,000,000 UHR), locked for two years and DAO-controlled.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n- **Presale (Private Sale)** — 8% (80,000,000 UHR), with a six-month cliff and 18-month vesting.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n- **Advisors & Partners** — 5% (50,000,000 UHR), with a six-month cliff and two-year vesting.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n\n### Presale and Pricing\n\nThe platform advertised a live presale offering UHR at $0.01 per token, described as 50% below a stated swap or listing price of $0.02, with 80,000,000 UHR made available.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha) The company's official account described the participation process as visiting the presale page, connecting [MetaMask](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metamask) on BNB Smart Chain, entering the amount of USDT (BEP20) to swap, and confirming the transaction.[[3]](#cite-id-rrprcz816m) Buyers were told they could pay with ETH, BNB, [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), or [Polygon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/polygon), or save 50% by paying in UHR.[[1]](#cite-id-twrlwtzeha)\n\n### Utility\n\nThe token's central platform utility is fee payment. The company states the platform fee to deploy any document on-chain is $0.20 when paid in ETH, BNB, or MATIC, or $0.10 worth of UHR — a 50% discount for paying in the native token.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh) UHR is also accepted for subscription payments on the Pro ($10) and Enterprise ($50) plans at a 20% discount versus USDT pricing, and holding or [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) UHR unlocks API access and higher rate limits, badge staking deposits, and platform fee discounts proportional to holdings.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\n### Staking and Rewards\n\nUHRATE describes a [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) program in which users can deposit BNB, USDT (BEP20), or UHR to earn rewards paid in UHR. Three pools are offered: a Flexible Pool with no lock and 10% [annual percentage yield (APY)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/annual-percentage-yield-apy), a Standard Pool with a 30-day lock at 15% APY, and a Premium Pool with a 90-day lock at 20% APY. Rewards are calculated daily, claimable at any time, and funded from the 200,000,000 UHR Platform Rewards & Staking allocation unlocked monthly over three years.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\nStaking also confers tiered platform benefits: staking 1,000 UHR earns a Bronze tier with a 10% discount; 10,000 UHR earns Silver with a 25% discount and priority support; 50,000 UHR earns Gold with a 50% discount and Pro API access; and 200,000 UHR earns Platinum with a 75% discount, Enterprise features, and 3x governance voting weight.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) As a worked example, the [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper) states that staking 50,000 UHR in the Premium Pool at 20% APY would accrue roughly 10,000 UHR in rewards over one year and qualify the holder for Gold tier.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\n### Deflationary Mechanisms\n\nThe company describes UHR as deflationary through three mechanisms. A fee burn permanently destroys 10% of all UHR collected as platform fees on every transaction. A quarterly buyback-and-burn program uses 20% of platform revenue, denominated in USDT and BNB, to purchase UHR from the market and burn it. A \"Slash Burn\" mechanism burns UHR staked as identity-badge deposits by applicants judged fraudulent or malicious, rather than redistributing it.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh) The company presents these alongside [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) lockups as reducing the freely tradable supply and accruing value to the token.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\n## Governance\n\nUHRATE describes a [decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dao) model in which UHR holders exercise control over the protocol. Voting follows a one-token, one-vote rule, with long-term stakers earning boosted voting weight of up to 3x.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) To submit a governance proposal, a holder must control a minimum of 10,000 UHR. Proposals are opened for a seven-day discussion period, followed by a five-day voting window. Validity requires a quorum of at least 5% of [circulating supply](https://iq.wiki/wiki/circulating-supply) participating, and proposals that pass by a simple majority of more than 50% are implemented by the UHRATE team or, where applicable, executed automatically via [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract).[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\nGovernance authority extends to platform features, supported [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), partnerships, and badge policy, as well as treasury spending.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh) The community treasury holds 100,000,000 UHR (10% of supply), locked for two years from token launch; after the lock period, spending requires a DAO vote and may fund development grants, security audits, marketing, partnerships, and liquidity provision.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\n## Roadmap and Developments\n\nThe company has published a five-phase roadmap. Phase 1, Platform & Token Launch (2025), is marked active and includes the platform going live with 58 routes, the UHR token deployed on BNB Smart Chain, the [tokenomics](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tokenomics) and [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper) published, search-engine indexing initiated, and the AI verification, document, education, legal, and media portals live.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) Phase 2, Private Sale & Community Building (Q1 2026), is also marked active and covers a private sale to strategic investors, Telegram and X community campaigns, partnership announcements, and the opening of the identity badge system to public applications.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)\n\nThree further phases were listed as upcoming. Phase 3, Public Sale & DEX Listing (Q2 2026), plans a public sale via a [BNB Chain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance-smart-chain) launchpad, establishment of a [PancakeSwap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/pancakeswap) [liquidity pool](https://iq.wiki/wiki/liquidity-pool), activation of UHR subscription payments, and centralized-exchange listing applications submitted to [MEXC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mexc) and [Gate](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gate).io.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) Phase 4, [Staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) Platform Launch (Q3 2026), plans deployment and auditing of staking [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract), activation of the three staking pools, activation of the fee-burn mechanism, and the start of the quarterly buyback-and-burn program.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) Phase 5, DAO & Full Decentralization (Q4 2026), plans deployment of the DAO smart contract, transfer of treasury control to the community, full governance voting, a UHR swap platform on uhrate.xyz, and a mobile application launch.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) A parallel token-launch roadmap in the tokenomics documentation similarly marks the token launch and presale as active and lists public sale, DEX listing on PancakeSwap, staking launch, and DAO launch as later stages.[[4]](#cite-id-mtii37wukh)\n\nThe project maintains a presence on Telegram and X, with the whitepaper listing t.me/uhrate and x.com/Uhrate.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) A separate account under the name \"Uhrate DAO\" (@uhrate_official), which joined in April 2026, describes UHRATE in its bio as \"a [layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) proof of Identity\" and has posted messaging around the project's \"decentralized notary layer\" concept and its \"verify first\" thesis.[[3]](#cite-id-rrprcz816m)\n\n## Risks and Disclaimers\n\nThe [whitepaper](https://iq.wiki/wiki/white-paper) is authored anonymously and carries several disclaimers. It states explicitly that it is \"not financial advice,\" that it contains forward-looking statements, that purchasing UHR involves significant risk, and that regulatory compliance is the buyer's responsibility. It also states there is no guarantee the platform or its features will be delivered on schedule, and that intellectual property rights belong to UHRATE.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om) The document enumerates the risks it associates with the project, including regulatory risk, market risk, technology risk (covering smart-contract vulnerabilities and AI false positives or negatives), adoption risk, competitive risk, liquidity risk, and team-and-execution risk.[[2]](#cite-id-69esstm9om)","categories":[{"id":"projects-and-protocols","title":"projects-and-protocols"}],"tags":[{"id":"Identity"},{"id":"Infrastructure"},{"id":"AIPlatform"},{"id":"Ethereum"},{"id":"BNBChain"}],"images":[{"id":"QmYY3P67EKdFmcv5yEXufYN3kKHmXqHm8EoLqTjao2UQt3","type":"image/jpeg, image/png"}],"media":[],"metadata":[{"id":"references","value":"[{\"id\":\"twrlwtzeha\",\"url\":\"https://uhrate.online\",\"description\":\"Self-description as decentralized notary\",\"timestamp\":1789615337518},{\"id\":\"69esstm9om\",\"url\":\"https://uhrate.online/whitepaper\",\"description\":\"Whitepaper purpose and founding year\",\"timestamp\":1789615337518},{\"id\":\"rrprcz816m\",\"url\":\"https://x.com/uhrate_official\",\"description\":\"Verify-first framing on official account\",\"timestamp\":1789615337518},{\"id\":\"mtii37wukh\",\"url\":\"https://uhrate.online/tokenomics\",\"description\":\"Fixed one billion supply, no minting\",\"timestamp\":1789615337518}]"},{"id":"commit-message","value":"Create UHRATE wiki"}],"events":[{"type":"CREATED","title":"Founded (self-reported)","date":"2025-01-01","description":"UHRATE states it was founded in 2025 (self-reported).","link":null,"multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"id":"74efa180-0e95-42db-bb29-0a6b1550ba4a"},{"type":"DEFAULT","title":"UHRATE whitepaper published (timestamped)","date":"2026-09-01","description":"Whitepaper titled 'UHRATE Whitepaper — 2025' published (document timestamp Thu, 17 Sep 2026 03:19:58 GMT; self-reported content describing platform, tokenomics, and roadmap).","link":"https://uhrate.online/whitepaper","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"id":"a3dafa29-57c7-433c-ab64-6fe626e51e65"},{"type":"DEFAULT","title":"Twitter account joined (Uhrate DAO)","date":"2026-04-01","description":"Uhrate DAO account (@uhrate_official) joined X/Twitter in April 2026 (self-reported).","link":"https://x.com/uhrate_official","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"id":"da2b4993-126e-44bc-ad64-f5351c8dbffd"}],"linkedWikis":{"founders":[],"blockchains":["ethereum","polygon","arbitrum","optimism","base","avalanche"],"speakers":[]},"user":{"id":"0x8af7a19a26d8fbc48defb35aefb15ec8c407f889"},"author":{"id":"0x07f51b61cf92afB2AB1D9d27FCc6343f16742868"},"language":"en","operator":{"id":"0x07f51b61cf92afB2AB1D9d27FCc6343f16742868"}}
