What an absolutely HUGE week for Publica!

Publica is always moving forward in development, but most of it is usually behind the scenes so it's always exciting to have those loud leaps that we can get people talking about!

So without further ado…

First Book ICO ever has been announced!

The long-awaited first Book ICO is coming!

Nomadic Matt’s campaign landing page was launched on May 23 and the Initial Book Coin Offering will open on June 6th at 6 am PST. One Book token will represent and grant access to one digital copy of the book and will cost 10.00 USD.

Only 1,000 Book tokens will be available during the Book ICO. Readers will contribute using PBL tokens (the Publica platform’s native currency) and then read the book in Publica’s e-reader app (serving double-duty as an e-reader and cryptocurrency wallet).

Participants can buy an unlimited number of book tokens and trade them or gift them to friends, since every Book token is an Ethereum ERC20 token.

Also — don't forget to spread the word about this HUGE milestone! We count on your support!

How to buy PBL tokens?

With the big announcement of the first book ICO we expect an influx of new community members that are also new to the crypto space in general.

Now, crypto isn't always that straightforward so we've created a guide on how to buy your PBL tokens — Publica platform's currency - so that you can get some books for yourself. If you know this stuff already — send the tutorial to those who might need it!

“Meet Publica” playlist

You have probably noticed that every Friday we get a new video on Publica, explaining more in-depth aspects of the platform. While for the fifth and last video in the series you will have to hold on for a little while longer, we have made a “Meet Publica” playlist where you can keep up with the whole series much easier. Be sure to save it and check out any videos you haven't seen yet.

While the week is over we still count on your continuous support of the project! The success of this project lies in our community just as much as it lies in the development of the platform. Be sure to spread the word about the World's FIRST BOOK ICO EVER and keep showing support as you do!
