Abstract

The Verify.Credit Protocol, enables secure real-time transactions within email communications utilizing unified tokens on the bitcoin mainnet. It fully integrates into the existing email environment, providing real-time cross-currency conversion, mathematical stability, and inherent security.




Getting Started

This guide will help you get started using the verify.credit protocol on the bitcoin mainnet. Let's get started!

Addressing

A unique bitcoin address is assigned to every email participating in the protocol. Any bitcoin sent to an address in the protocol are immediately available via the unified token layer and the email interface with their confirmation on the blockchain.




Onchain

Current in Gold: 1.6053359901537456e-8g / Token




Stabilization

The unified token layer deploys stable units on the bitcoin mainnet, mitigating bitcoins volatility by deriving their value relating to the global gold market and tokens in circulation. This effectively eliminates speculative risks caused by bitcoin fluctuations. An 8% fee for transactions moving bitcoin out of the protocol further fortifies this stability, resulting in a system with an inherently deflationary nature.




Key Features

The protocol bridges the email and bitcoin protocol serving a distributed email relay that connects email authentication with bitcoin encryption.

Email Interface

Users can securely send and receive transactions within their familiar email interface, with no setup required. The protocol receives emails send to the relay @verify.credit, parsing its handle and authenticating related actions.

Structure
[action]@verify.credit

The following example instructs the protocol to take 100 EUR (in tokens from available funds), moving them to john.doe@mail.com.

Email (Example)
Recipient: 100eur@verify.credit
Subject: john.doe@mail.com

Such email transactions are fee-less, while tokens can also be moved to external bitcoin addresses, incurring an 8% fee, with a minimum of 0.1g of gold.

Seamless Integration

Structure
Link mailto:[value][currency]@verify.credit?subject=[recipient]&body=[anything]
Example mailto:10usd@verify.credit?subject=donation%40nature.org&body=Thank%20you!

Developers can integrate the protocol into any application with remarkable ease. A simple mailto link prompts the user's email client to open, enabling them to confirm payment from their trusted environment.

Realtime Conversion

The protocol provides a cross-currency interface for seamless real-time conversion rooted in tokens, supporting various forms, including fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals (see full list).

Natural Stability

The protocols tokens employ a mathematical equation based on the value of gold and tokens in circulation to calculate the value of each related to global currency exchange, trust and demand dynamics.

Mathematical Representation
Equation: Token Valuation = (Currency Value in 1000 Gold Atoms) * (Tokens in Circulation)
Explanation: The value is determined as the product of gold (static) and tokens in circulation (dynamic), forming a continuously increasing circulation threshold, which, amidst limited gold reserves and fluctuating exchange rates, naturally finds the balance in prevailing market dynamics.

Inherent Security

The protocol is built on a four-decade legacy. Users are free to choose any client from simple to multi-factor, fingerprint, and beyond to shape their personalized financial environment.




Specifications

The verify.credit protocol serves a distributed mail relay, securely handling transactions on the edge. The following describes its interface:

Email Transactions

Conduct transactions by sending structured emails to the relay.

Structure
[amount]@verify.credit
[amount][currency]@verify.credit
Example
Recipient: 100eur@verify.credit
Subject: max.muller@mail.com

* subject must be a valid email or bitcoin address

Within the protocol transactions are processed without incurring any fees. Whenever tokens are sent to an external bitcoin address, an 8% fee (minimum 0.1g of gold) is applied.

Balance Inquiry

Check your balance by contacting check@verify.credit or [currency]@verify.credit to include the current value converted into the specified currency.

Structure
[currency]@verify.credit
check@verify.credit

* the email subject and content are ignored

Supported Currencies

All major currencies are supported; in some cases, a currency may experience temporary interruptions due to technological or economical thresholds. In such instances, simply opt for any other trusted currency or direct token transfer.

App Integration

The verify.credit protocol seamlessly integrates into any application using the widely supported email-linking standard: mailto:{value}{currency}@verify.credit?subject={recipient}&body={optional}

HTML Example

<a href="mailto:10usd@verify.credit?subject=donation%40nature.org&body=Thank%20you!">Send Donation</a>

JavaScript Example

Below is a simple JavaScript example that opens a new window with a QR code generated from the provided email-linking parameters.

      
    <script>
        function openQrCode() {
            // Replace these values with actual transaction details
            const value = "10";
            const currency = "usd";
            const recipient = "donation@nature.org";
            const bodyText = "Thank you!";

            const qrCodeUrl = `https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size=300x300&data=mailto%3A${value}${currency}%40verify.credit%3Fsubject%3D${encodeURIComponent(recipient)}%26body%3D${encodeURIComponent(bodyText)}`;

            // Open a new window with the QR code
            window.open(qrCodeUrl, "_blank");
        }
    </script>
    
    // example button triggering the above script
    <button onclick="openQrCode()">Donate</button>
    

This structure can easily be converted into any format (e.g. QR Code) to fit any imaginable use case.

All received emails contain an HTML body for display and a text body in JSON Format for simple processing. To process payments, it is recommended to incorporate a unique identifier in the email body, allowing for swift backend handling.




Roundup

The verify.credit protocol, built on a robust four-decade legacy of the email and bitcoin protocol, introduces a secure framework for real-time transactions within emails. Its tokens ensure a natural balance in the dynamic market, effectively mitigating bitcoins volatility. In the event of a potential bitcoin crash or depletion of reserves, the protocol exhibits foresight by freezing the amount of tokens in circulation, deliberately disconnecting from the bitcoin. This measure, coupled with its technological finesse, establishes a resilient financial layer, instilling confidence in its immanent liquidity and long-term viability.




Credits

The protocol embraces its essence, operating as a frictionless reflection of collective intelligence. Gratitude extends to the network of contributors. All are invited to build upon it with a shared interest in advancing humanity.
