INTRODUCTION

Since the dawn of humanity, stories have connected people across generations. From prehistoric cave drawings to modern books, the urge to create and share narratives is timeless.

TenPen emerges as the blockchain-era solution to the age-old art of storytelling. By empowering writers to tokenize their works and earn without intermediaries, TenPen is revolutionizing digital publishing with full creative autonomy, financial transparency, and immutable ownership.

EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM: CENTRALIZED PUBLISHING IS BROKEN

The traditional publishing industry is plagued by inefficiencies and gatekeeping:

  • Authors earn as little as 510% of book sales.

  • Publishers decide who gets published, sidelining diverse and emerging voices.

  • Contracts are opaque, royalties delayed, and secondary sales untracked.

  • Readers cannot directly support authors they admire or influence the ecosystem.

THE SOLUTION: DECENTRALIZED PUBLISHING WITH TENPEN

TenPen solves these issues by decentralizing the entire publishing lifecycle. Writers mint their stories, poems, or manga as NFTs, fully owning their IP and royalties.

Readers purchase, collect, and resell content using TPN tokens ensuring authors are rewarded on every transaction.

Key Features:

  • NFT Publishing: Tokenize literary works, single chapters, novels, illustrated comics.

  • TPN Token Economy: Core utility token for all platform interactions.

  • Smart Royalties: Automated, transparent, and perpetual.

  • Literary Marketplace: Curated discovery platform.

  • DAO Governance: Token holders vote on key upgrades, featured works, grants.

  • Gamified Ecosystem: Read-to-earn mechanics reward community engagement.

TPN TOKEN UTILITY

The TPN token underpins all activity within TenPen:

  • Minting and publishing NFTs

  • Purchasing content directly from creators

  • Staking for governance and influence

  • Tipping and rewarding readers, reviewers, and curators

  • Participating in crowdfunding campaigns and DAO grant votes

REVENUE MODEL

TenPen sustains platform growth through a strategic and creator-aligned model:

  • Transaction fees on NFT mints, sales, and resales

  • Premium tools for creators: analytics dashboards, featuring slots, multilingual tools

  • Integration with external partners (illustrators, editors, translators) for seamless services
