In the digital age, authors face an increasing threat of piracy and theft of their intellectual property. Traditional publishing systems have not always been able to address these issues effectively, leaving authors vulnerable. However, blockchain technology is changing the landscape of digital publishing, providing authors with the tools they need to protect their rights and maintain control over their work. At African Publishing House, we’ve integrated blockchain and NFT technology into our platform to empower authors like never before.

One of the key advantages of blockchain is its ability to provide an unalterable digital record of ownership. Using Proof of Existence (PoE), authors can register their work on the blockchain, ensuring that it is securely stored and that ownership can be verified at any time. This technology eliminates the need for third-party intermediaries and provides authors with direct control over their intellectual property.

Along with blockchain security, African Publishing House also utilizes NFTs to take digital publishing to the next level. An NFT is a unique digital asset that represents ownership of a specific item—in this case, a book. When an author converts their e-book into an NFT, they can track every sale, ensuring that each buyer is the rightful owner of the book. This not only helps protect against piracy but also allows authors to set conditions for resale, creating new opportunities for ongoing revenue.
