Encrypted Agreements for DAOs and Onchain Organizations
For DAOs and onchain organizations, contributor and advisor agreements frequently live in Discord threads or Notion docs with no enforceable signature and no privacy; Noira lets these teams sign encrypted agreements that no party — including Noira — can read. Documents are encrypted in-browser with VetKeys threshold cryptography on the Internet Computer Protocol, so contributor terms, advisor equity, and vesting schedules stay confidential even from the platform that hosts them.
How do DAOs sign contributor agreements privately?
Contributor agreements for DAOs usually live in Discord threads or Notion docs with no enforceable signature and no privacy; Noira lets teams sign them encrypted, with no wallet required.
Contributor agreements — scope of work, deliverables, payment in tokens or stablecoins, and IP assignment — are frequently pasted into Discord threads or shared Notion pages that anyone with workspace access can read. Noira replaces that with an in-browser encrypted agreement signed via Internet Identity, so the contributor's terms are confidential to the signing parties. No crypto wallet is required; sign-in uses passkeys or device biometrics through Internet Identity, the Internet Computer Protocol's identity primitive.
Can advisor equity terms stay confidential?
Advisor equity terms — allocation size, role, and termination — are sensitive and should not be readable by the platform hosting them; Noira encrypts them with threshold cryptography so no single party can decrypt.
Advisor agreements carry commercially sensitive terms: token allocation, vesting start date, role definition, and termination clauses. Storing them in a shared Notion or Google Doc exposes those terms to anyone with workspace access. Noira encrypts advisor agreements in-browser with VetKeys threshold cryptography on the Internet Computer Protocol, so the platform itself cannot read the allocation size or vesting schedule. Decryption requires a threshold of key shares, removing the single-party access risk that cloud-document tools carry by design.
How are vesting terms signed without a wallet?
Vesting schedules, cliffs, and acceleration clauses can be signed in Noira using Internet Identity — no MetaMask, no seed phrase, no hardware wallet.
Vesting terms — cliff length, schedule, acceleration on acquisition, and revocation on departure — are often agreed verbally or in an unsigned doc and then re-disputed months later. Noira lets a DAO and a contributor sign the vesting terms as an encrypted agreement with a cryptographic audit trail anchored on the Internet Computer Protocol. Sign-in is via Internet Identity, not a crypto wallet, so contributors without Web3 experience can still execute a binding agreement. No crypto wallet is required to use Noira, unlike wallet-based signing tools.
Frequently asked questions
No. Noira does not require a crypto wallet. Sign-in is via Internet Identity, the Internet Computer Protocol's identity primitive, which uses passkeys or device biometrics instead of seed phrases. Contributors and advisors can sign agreements without installing MetaMask, configuring a hardware wallet, or managing private keys.
Agreements are encrypted in-browser before they reach Noira's infrastructure, using VetKeys threshold cryptography on the Internet Computer Protocol. No single party — including Noira — holds a key that can unilaterally decrypt a document. Decryption requires a threshold of key shares, so the platform cannot read contributor terms, advisor equity, or vesting schedules.
For agreements that need an enforceable signature and confidentiality, yes. Notion documents are readable by anyone with workspace access and carry no cryptographic signature. Noira adds in-browser encryption, threshold-cryptography key custody, and a signed audit trail on top of the same lightweight workflow your team already uses in Notion or Discord.
Noira runs natively on the Internet Computer Protocol, so signed agreements and their audit metadata are anchored on-chain without a separate bridging step. The encrypted document contents themselves are never exposed on-chain — only the threshold-encrypted ciphertext and the signature record are persisted.
