Product / Masterdata

distordia-type: product

Global master data registry for products and materials. Replace fragmented ERP-specific data with a single source of truth. Based on GS1, UN/CEFACT, and ISO standards.

Use Case: Register a product once on-chain. All supply chain participants reference the same blockchain address instead of maintaining duplicate master data.

Content Verification

distordia-type: content

On-chain content provenance and attestation. Register web content, articles, or media with verifiable authorship and timestamps. Enables content verification lookup by URL.

Use Case: Content creators register articles/pages on-chain. Anyone can verify authenticity by checking if a URL has a corresponding blockchain registration under a verified namespace.

Schema

`Title`	✓	string	Content title

    "Author": "Jane Smith",
    "Description": "An analysis of emerging blockchain trends",
    "contentHash": "a3b8c9d2e1f4..."
}

💬

Social Posts

distordia-type: distordia-post

Decentralized social media posts stored permanently on the Nexus blockchain. True content ownership with no central authority able to censor or delete posts.

Use Case: Create Twitter/X-like posts that are permanently stored on-chain. Posts can be filtered by namespace (official vs user) and are immutably timestamped.

Schema

Attribute	Required	Type	Description
`distordia-type`	✓	string	`"distordia-post"`, `"distordia-quote"`, `"post"` or `"quote"`
`distordia-status`	✓	string	`official` (from verified namespace) or `user-post`
`Text`	✓	string	Post content
`Creator's namespace`		string	Namespace of the post creator
`Quoted address`		string	Address of quoted/replied-to post (0 if none)

Example Asset

{
    "distordia-type": "distordia-post",
    "distordia-status": "official",
    "Text": "Announcing our new masterdata protocol! Register products once, reference everywhere. #blockchain #supplychain",
    "Creator's namespace": "distordia",
    "Quoted address": 0
}

NFT Marketplace

distordia-type: nft

On-chain NFT assets that point to open image URLs. Assets are tokenized (1 or more tokens) and traded peer-to-peer on the Nexus marketplace. No off-site storage — all metadata lives on-chain, images are referenced via public URLs.

Use Case: A creator mints an NFT asset with an image URL, tokenizes it to enable trading, and lists it for sale on the on-chain marketplace. Buyers purchase ownership tokens with NXS. Fractional ownership is supported via multiple tokens per asset.

Schema

Attribute	Required	Type	Mutable	Description
`distordia-type`	✓	string	✗	Always `"nft"`
`status`		string	✓	`active`, `burned`, `frozen`
`nft-name`	✓	string	✗	Display name of the NFT (max 64 chars)
`description`		string	✓	Human-readable description (max 256 chars)
`image`	✓	string	✗	Direct HTTPS URL to the NFT image (max 256 chars)
`category`		string	✓	`art`, `photography`, `music`, `collectible`, `gaming`, `utility`, `domain`, `meme`, `other`
`collection`		string	✓	Collection name to group related NFTs (max 64 chars)
`creator`		string	✗	Creator name, alias, or namespace (max 64 chars)
`external_url`		string	✓	External link for additional context (max 128 chars)

Tokenization (Required for Trading)

Step	Endpoint	Description	Cost
1	`finance/create/token`	Create a fungible token (supply=1 for unique, >1 for fractional ownership)	~1 NXS
2	`assets/tokenize/asset`	Link the token to the NFT asset (irreversible)	~1 NXS

Note: Supply of 1 + 0 decimals = unique NFT. Supply >1 = fractional ownership (e.g. 100 tokens = 100 shares). Tokenization is irreversible — the asset remains linked to its token permanently.

Trading (TOKEN/NXS Market Pair)

Action	Endpoint	Description
List for Sale	`market/create/ask`	Sell NFT tokens at a set NXS price
Place Buy Order	`market/create/bid`	Offer to buy tokens at a set NXS price
Execute Order	`market/execute/order`	Fill an existing ask or bid order
Cancel Order	`market/cancel/order`	Cancel an unfilled order

Asset Naming Convention

Component	Format	Example
Asset Name	`nft-{slug}-{timestamp}`	`nft-cosmic-dragon-1738857600000`
Token Name	`nft-{slug}-token`	`nft-cosmic-dragon-token`
Market Pair	`{TOKEN_TICKER}/NXS`	`nft-cosmic-dragon-token/NXS`

Example NFT Asset

{
    "distordia-type": "nft",
    "status": "active",
    "nft-name": "Cosmic Dragon #42",
    "description": "A celestial dragon soaring through the Nexus nebula",

NexGo Taxi

distordia-type: nexgo-taxi

Decentralized taxi service position broadcasting. Drivers register their vehicle and broadcast real-time GPS coordinates and availability status on-chain, enabling passengers to find nearby taxis.

Use Case: Taxi drivers broadcast their position and status (available/occupied) on-chain. Passengers query nearby available taxis without relying on centralized ride-hailing platforms.

Schema

Attribute	Required	Type	Description
`distordia-type`	✓	string	Always `"nexgo-taxi"`
`vehicle-id`	✓	string	Unique vehicle registration/license plate
`vehicle-type`	✓	string	Vehicle category: `sedan`, `suv`, `van`, `luxury`
`status`	✓	string	Current availability: `available` or `occupied`

`longitude`	✓	number	GPS longitude coordinate (decimal degrees)
`driver`		string	Driver display name or identifier
`capacity`		number	Maximum passenger capacity
`features`		array	Vehicle features: `["wheelchair", "pet-friendly", "child-seat"]`

Asset Naming Convention

Examples:
nexgo-taxi-ABC1234
nexgo-taxi-XY789ZZ

Example Asset

{
    "distordia-type": "nexgo-taxi",
    "vehicle-id": "ABC-1234",
    "vehicle-type": "sedan",
    "status": "available",

Namespace Verification Tiers

Governance

Distordia verifies namespaces — not individual assets. Trust propagates from namespace verification to all registered objects. Verification is tiered to match risk and use case.

L0

Verified Agent

Automated, low/no stake. Cryptographic proofs + behavioral monitoring. For pseudonymous, swarm, or ephemeral agents.

🤖 AI-driven validation ⚡ High-velocity

L1

Verified Individual

Automated verification, pseudonymous, low stake. Basic agent delegation proofs.

👤 Individual 🔑 Pseudonymous

L2

Verified Organization

Higher stake. Domain, DAO, or organizational proofs. Canonical indexing enabled.

🏢 Organization 📇 Canonical

L3

Verified Enterprise

High stake. Legal entity verification. SLA and arbitration agreements. Enterprise-grade governance.
