Why Blockchain Publishing?


Since the Comics Code was introduced decades ago, the powerful messaging of comics has been controlled. 

Even today, comics and creators that don’t fit within modern societal ideals are canceled, deplatformed, funds are withheld from crowd-funding, and more. 

Our mission is to let creators tell their stories, without censorship. And blockchain is the technology that makes this possible.


How Blockchain Works


Blockchain runs separate from any banking system and does not need approval from banks or ecommerce merchants. Anyone in the world can use an exchange, like Coinbase or Transak, to purchase cryptocurrency. This currency becomes a simple transaction between two people, no bank or middleman involved. 

The transaction is recorded on the blockchain and is essentially immutable (meaning it can’t be altered or hacked). 


Benefits of Blockchain


By publishing your comic on the blockchain, you are making it digitally collectible. As the buyer of a blockchain comic, you can collect or resell your comics.

Every time a comic is resold, the original creator earns royalties from the resale.

Creators can publish what they want, without fear of being censored. 


The Downside of Blockchain


This is still a new technology, and it can be hard to understand and trust. 

Blockchain books must be purchased using cryptocurrency. Collectors must purchase cryptocurrency through an exchange, such as Coinbase or Transak. Learn more about this process here.

We are working hard to simplify this process. As more industries use blockchain, and more people make purchases with cryptocurrency, this tech will continue to grow.

Help us bring change to the comic book industry and support indie creators.

Question
What is the difference between Digital Collectibles and Digital Books? 
Answer

Digital Collectible

A Digital Collectible is a unique, original copy of a digital item, such as a book, that is validated using blockchain technology.

Digital Collectibles are also referred to as Tokens or NFT (Non Fungible Tokens). 

A Digital Collectible book can be resold, because it is a unique, collectible item. A limited number of copies, determined by the Creator / Publisher, are minted and allowed to be sold in Marketplaces that support relevant blockchain transactions.

Digital Collectibles are authenticated each time they are sold and resold using the online ledger, or blockchain, to validate each transaction. The public record of every transaction for each Digital Collectible is available online for anyone to view.

The value of a Digital Collectible depends on the rarity and popularity of that particular token. Digital Collectibles must be purchased using the appropriate cryptocurrency. The currency depends on the blockchain being used to validate the purchase (For example, Ether (ETH) is used for purchases validated on the Ethereum blockchain, and POL is used for purchases validated on the Polygon blockchain). Learn how to purchase POL or other currencies to use in the CryptoComics Marketplace here.

Digital Book / eBook

A digital book, or ebook, is merely a digital copy of a book. This could be a digital copy available through the online reader in the Marketplace, or a PDF downloadable version. These books cannot be resold. These off-chain books can be purchased using credit or debit card.

The publisher of the book determines the number of Digital Collectible copies to make available, and if it will be available as a off-chain digital book, or as a borrowable book.
