What are Book Tokens?
With collectible book tokens, Publica is taking the concept of content ownership to a whole new level
With Publica, buyers can not only purchase a token as such, users can also instantly access the content of the corresponding collectible item with the e-reader app. Literally, open a one-of-a-kind piece of content on their device any time they want!
By doing so, authors are able to activate and reward their early supporters, receive the funds needed to finish their works, and tap into the power of the blockchain.
How does it work?
Benefits for creators and buyers
