Publishing Protocol
Articles as assets, writers as owners
Web3 publishing turns articles into NFTs with programmable monetization. Writers keep 97%+ of revenue, receive instant stablecoin payments, and can sell access on secondary markets.
How It Works
The decentralized approach
Content Minting
Articles are minted as NFTs or protocol entries with on-chain provenance.
Stablecoin Payments
Subscribers pay directly in stablecoins — no payment processor middlemen.
Smart Contract Splits
Revenue automatically splits to collaborators, editors, and the writer.
Crowdfunded Stories
Communities can pool funds to commission specific content.
The Web3 Experience
Publish content that becomes an asset you own. Subscribers pay you directly in stablecoins. Collaborators get automatic revenue splits. Fans can resell access passes, and you earn royalties on every trade.
Your Value as a User
Own tradable access passes to exclusive content. Support creators directly with instant payments. Earn royalties when reselling access.
Ownable content access + creator royalties
