Utility functions

$NOTA has five core utility functions: Verification fees: users pay NOTA to request verification of a resource. Fees scale with verification level (Basic, Enhanced, Institutional). See Fee Model. Validator staking: validators lock NOTA to earn the right to attest. Stake determines tier, which determines daily verification capacity and share of fees. See Staking and Tiers. Dispute bonds: challenging a verification decision requires posting a NOTA bond. Successful disputes return the bond with a reward; frivolous disputes forfeit it. See Dispute Resolution. Governance: NOTA holders can lock tokens into veNOTA for voting power. Longer locks grant more voting influence. See veNOTA and Governance. Integration rewards: wallets, exchanges, and dApps that integrate Notareum earn a share of verification fees generated by their users, in NOTA.

​
Contract

The NOTA token is deployed as NotareumNOTAToken, a standard ERC-20 with minting controls restricted to the governance role. Supply changes require a governance proposal and cannot be unilaterally triggered by any single address. See the NOTA Token contract reference for function signatures and event specifications.
