Author claim

If a paper you authored has been independently reproduced by Research Radar, you can claim a 30% royalty share of the reproduction cNFT. The claim is verified via an ORCID-signed message — no application, no review.

How it works

Find your paper in the Reproducibility Index and copy its paperId.
Sign a claim message with the private key behind your published ORCID record. The message format is:
```
researchradar.claim:{paperId}:{walletPubkey}:{unixTimestamp}
```

Submit the signature, your Solana wallet pubkey, and the message to the claim endpoint:

POST /v1/cnfts/{assetId}/claim
{
  "orcid": "0000-0000-0000-0000",
  "wallet": "<solana pubkey>",
  "signature": "<hex>",
  "message": "researchradar.claim:..."
}

On verification, the cNFT's creators array is updated to redirect 30% of future royalties to your wallet, retroactive to mint time.

Status

Claim endpoint is scheduled for v1.1 (after cNFT mint goes live). Until then, claims accumulate as unclaimed-author shares in the operator treasury and can be retroactively assigned.
