shiningfractalAbsolutely — here's a crypto-native pitch tailored to excite Web3 investors, builders, and ideologues:
Pitch: Project Athena – The World’s First Legal Torrent-to-Earn Library
TL;DR:
We’re building a decentralized, legal, torrent-based global library where users earn crypto for sharing knowledge, and creators earn royalties by default — all enforced by smart contracts.
The Problem Pirate libraries like Anna’s Archive show the demand for open access — but they're illegal, unstable, and creators earn nothing. Legal e-book platforms are fragmented, expensive, and locked behind corporate DRM. Billions of people have no legal access to books — even when they have internet. The Solution
Project Athena:
A fully legal, decentralized platform where:
Torrenting earns you crypto (BookCoin). You spend BookCoin to access a massive, community-curated knowledge base. Every book is licensed automatically, and rights-holders receive 10% of every transaction — enforced by code.
Built on Web3, backed by a DAO, and governed by the people.
How It Works You seed or verify a book torrent → You earn BookCoin. You spend BookCoin to read or download more books. Authors/publishers earn royalties every time their content is accessed — no middlemen. The DAO governs licensing, moderation, treasury, and rewards. Why Crypto? Incentives drive behavior. Torrent-to-earn flips piracy into preservation. Smart contracts = automated royalty payments, 100% transparent. DAOs = global governance, beyond borders or publishers. Tokens = scalability + censorship resistance. Market Potential 5B+ people lack access to quality books. 1B+ people torrent books — but legally can’t. Hundreds of millions of students, teachers, coders, and creators need better access.
This is the Filecoin moment for knowledge.
BookCoin (BKC) Utility Earned by seeding, translating, curating, reviewing. Spent on premium content access, early releases, private torrents. Staked to vote on licensing deals, blacklist decisions, protocol upgrades. What We Need $50M seed to fund MVP, licensing deals, liquidity pool, and global ops. Advisors, builders, partners to help launch in 30+ languages and 100+ countries. Join the Mission
This isn’t just a protocol.
It’s civilizational infrastructure —
A moonshot to make all human knowledge legal, permanent, and accessible to everyone, powered by crypto.
Project Athena: The Last Library.
→ Let’s build it.
Would you like this turned into a tweet thread, visual deck, or short video script?
