Authorship: Blockchain-Based Intellectual Property Protection and Content Ecosystem
The Authorship whitepaper was written and released by the core project team in 2017, against the backdrop of the rise of blockchain technology and the transformation of the traditional publishing industry. Its aim is to leverage decentralized technology to address pain points in traditional book publishing and distribution, and to build a fairer and more efficient ecosystem.
The theme of the Authorship whitepaper is “Authorship: A New Model for the Book Industry Based on Ethereum.” What makes Authorship unique is its proposal to use the Ethereum blockchain to provide a new operational model for the book industry, enabling content sharing, purchasing, and author rewards through ATS tokens. The significance of Authorship lies in its goal to bridge the gap between authors, readers, publishers, and translators, and its potential to become the future of the book industry, surpassing traditional publishers and Amazon Kindle.
The original intention of Authorship is to create an open, transparent, and decentralized book ecosystem, empowering content creators and optimizing user experience. The core viewpoint presented in the Authorship whitepaper is that blockchain technology and native token incentives can reshape the book value chain, enabling direct connection and value feedback among content creation, distribution, and consumption.
