Publica aims to serve the publishing ecosystem, a global economy unto itself. The blockchain revolution is the catalyst for doing it now.
Publica will become a multi-sided platform for igniting global network effects within the ecommerce of books for all markets -- scholarly, educational, recreational, independent, regional, scientific, institutional, niche, and general. For authors, readers, and everyone else interested in books and what becomes of them. Whether as a business, an education, a job, a career, or a passion. Starting with how authors get paid, accelerating through the tradecrafts in the middle, ending with -- No, publishing never ends. It’s an infinite game that gets better the longer you play.
When authors and their teams produce books on Publica’s platform, they’re selling digital keys to the digital edition. Real keys. That means they own the books as a digital bearer asset, and there are many implications that follow from that simple innovation on the Publica platform. Publica’s internal currency is a token called Pebbles. (PBL ticker on exchanges.) Pebbles are a new valuta that offers independence to the people working on a book project, or a derivative rights project like audio books, movies, episodic television, games, merchandise, theme park attractions, expanded editions, illustrated editions, updated editions, learning system editions, sequels, prequels, spin-offs, even songs.
Publica will make one billion PBL tokens to function as currency for payments within the Publica ecosystem. PBL is the ticker name for these tokens on third-party exchanges where they can be traded for dollars, Euros and other fiat currencies, as well as Bitcoin, Ether and other cryptocurrency coins.
