Book Blocks

A decentralized book store and a platform for self-publishing authors.

The problem Book Blocks solves

Book Blocks is where you can publish your books for free. It enables direct financial transfer between authors and readers. Sell books on an immutable, decentralized platform that has no filters.
Features:

  1. You can publish your book for no cost.
  2. We use IPFS to store all the data. You own your data at all times.
  3. A wide range audience can join without having to worry about losing their personal data.
  4. Digital copy of the books will be sent which will only be possible for the buyer to access.
  5. We integrate Matic for simple and fast transactions.
  6. We will only keep 20% of the sales on your book (for our survival), which is lesser than what centralized platforms offer.

Challenges we ran into

We faced issues in crypto and fiat transfers. Eventually got through few of them.
Issues with setting up ipfs.
