Security & Trust

NoPaper is built on a foundation of fairness and security. We implement multiple layers of protection to ensure that rewards go to genuine users who are making a real impact.

Our Security Layers

Before a reward is sent, every submission passes through seven levels of security:

  1. Rate Limiting: We limit submissions to 2 every 20 hours to prevent spam and ensure everyone gets a fair share of the reward pool.
  2. Device & Network Check: We enforce a strict 1 Smartphone + 1 IP Address rule. Using multiple wallets or devices to "farm" rewards is strictly prohibited.
  3. VPN Detection: To ensure genuine community growth, we block all VPNs, proxies, and data center connections.
  4. Image Fingerprinting: Our AI detects if an image has been submitted before, or if it has been modified to look like a new receipt.
  5. AI Content Analysis: We verify that the receipt is a digital screenshot and contains valid sustainable items.
  6. VIP Moderation (Endorsers): High-trust community leaders who manually verify suspicious or new-born wallet submissions.
  7. AI Validation: Final content analysis for verified sustainable items.

Zero-Tolerance Device & Network Policy

To maintain the absolute integrity of NoPaper, we enforce a strict 1 Smartphone + 1 IP + 1 Wallet rule.

  • No Multiple Wallets: Using more than one wallet address to "farm" or bypass limits is strictly forbidden.
  • One Device per Person: Each user must use their own unique smartphone.
  • Stable Connection: Please use a stable home or mobile network. Switching between networks frequently may be flagged as suspicious.

Immediate Ban

Our anti-fraud engine automatically detects and permanently bans users attempting to use multiple wallets or devices. These bans are irreversible.

Ban Appeal Process

If your wallet has been flagged or banned due to "Multiple IP Address" suspicion or other security reasons, don't worry we are here to help.

Suspicious IP/Multiple Account Bans

Sometimes, legitimate users using public WiFi or dynamic IPs might get flagged.

  • Appeal in App: You can use our dedicated Appeal System directly within the NoPaper application.
  • How it works: If your account is flagged, a prompt will appear on your dashboard. Simply provide an explanation for the activity.
  • Manual Review: Our VIP Endorsers will manually review your history and the reason provided to restore access if you are a genuine user.

Fast Recovery

The in-app appeal system is the fastest way to restore access. Most appeals are reviewed by our community endorsers within 24-48 hours.

Protecting Your Privacy

We take your privacy seriously:

  • Receipt Images: Your original receipts are stored in a private, encrypted vault. They are never shared publicly.
  • On-Chain Proof: Only a blurred, unreadable version of your receipt is recorded on-chain to prove the transaction happened without exposing your shopping habits.
  • Data Retention: IP records used for security are only kept for 24 hours.

Smart Contract Security

The ultimate security layer is the blockchain. Our smart contracts are built using industry-standard security patterns and are governed by the VeBetterDAO ecosystem, ensuring your rewards are always safe and verifiable.
