What is LikeCoin?

Content Ownership

Decentralize Publishing

LikeCoin envisions a future where digital content is transformed from “Web-native” to “NFT native” format. All content will be natively created on the blockchain and stored in two layers.

Property right layer — the metadata registry ISCN (international standard content number) records the relationships between the content and creator. The NFT layer — the proof of ownership and the mechanism of transfer between purchasers and creators.

Writing NFT

Similar to the workflow of traditional publishing, i.e., securing content authorship -> printing the content in books -> selling in bookstore, creators can now register the content on the LikeCoin chain -> mint an NFT of it -> sell it in NFT marketplaces. Compared with the constraints in physical publishing, publishing content and exchanging value in the metaverse can be more flexible and everlasting.

LikeCoin Mission

LikeCoin’s mission is to democratize publishing services to ensure everyone has access to affordable, transparent, and efficient publishing services. By writing content immutably to the blockchain, we believe that our censorship-resistant publishing infrastructure is a key to improving the marketplace for content and maintaining freedom of speech.

We believe great software should be easy to use. Creators can focus on what they are good at — creating quality content. All LikeCoin tools such as widgets, WordPress plugins, and APIs are designed to help creators get started easily but also offer powerful features for creators to grow and succeed.

LikeCoin DAO

The DAO performs collective decisions of the public treasury, infrastructure for common goods, and evolvement of policies, which can all be evolved via the LikeCoin DAO governance process. Governance decisions include, for example, voting on governance decisions related to the token or other rules impacting the LikeCoin ecosystem. The LikeCoin community uses proposals to decide how to allocate resources from the community fund, rules and procedures for governance, selection of representatives for various working groups (“subdao’s”), etc.

LIKE token

LIKE is the native token of LikeCoin, a BPoS blockchain built on Cosmos SDK. LIKE is the utility and governance token of the LikeCoin ecosystem.

All transaction fees, network usage, and services built upon LikeCoin infrastructure will use LIKE as the primary token across new projects

LIKE is hyperinflationary, with incentives for staking to secure the LikeCoin chain. There is no fixed total supply of LIKEs and the total supply will increase each year between 7-20% due to inflation. The top 50 validators that have the most staked LIKE will fill the active validator's seats for validating and creating new transactions for the chain. Active validators' seats can be changed by the community through proposals that are voted on by those holding LIKE tokens.

FAQ

Authors/publishers can list and sell their works on Liker Land, allowing authors to self-publish or act as a publishing house. Liker Land serves as an eBook platform for selling your works, without holding any copyright or requiring a share of the profits earned from selling your works on other platforms.

eBook Rights Ownership

Liker Land is solely responsible for distributing your works on its platform. The publishing rights and copyrights of eBooks remain with the author (or their legal representative). Liker Land converts and publishes the works for sale based on your authorized agreement.

Platform Service Fees

The fees are charged as a service fee for the eBook platform, denominated in USD.

• Liker Land Platform Service Fee: 5% of the sale price

• Sales Channel Commission*: 30% of the sale price

• Stripe Credit Card Fee: 4.4% of the actual sale price (credit card processing fee by Stripe) + $0.30

• If readers provide additional tips, Liker Land charges a 10% commission on the tipping amount.

Example:

If your book is listed on Liker Land with a price of $100:

For each sale made through your own channels, the basic platform service fee is:

Liker Land Platform Service Fee + Stripe Credit Card Fee = ( 100 x 5% ) + ( 100 x 4.4% + 0.30 ) = $9.70 per book

For each sale made through other sales channels, the basic platform service fee and the sales channel commission are:

Sales Channel Commission + Liker Land Platform Service Fee + Stripe Credit Card Fee = ( 100 x 30% ) + ( 100 x 5% ) + ( 100 x 4.4% + 0.30 ) = $39.70 per book

*Liker Land suggests a unified profit-sharing rate of 30% for any channel, such as bookstores, websites, or Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), to encourage more people to assist with sales. Liker Land provides tools for authors to generate unique URLs for different channels. Transactions made through specific links will record channel data, allowing authors to distribute revenue shares to the channels. Authors are responsible for ensuring that channels use the correct links to sell books. All transactions not using channel-specific links will be categorized as sales made directly through Liker Land.

eBook Royalty Calculation

The eBook royalty you receive is the actual sales amount of the book minus the platform service fee, approximately 60% of the book's sale price.

Using the examples above:

1. For a book priced at $100 and sold through your own channels, the basic platform service fee is $9.70. The publisher or author will receive an eBook royalty of $90.30 per book.

2. For a book priced at $100 and sold through other channels, the basic platform service fee and sales channel commission amount to $39.70 per book. The publisher or author will receive an eBook royalty of $60.30 per book.

Pricing and Selling Price

You can set the pricing and actual selling price of your book according to your preferences and needs. Please note that the actual selling price must be equal to or less than the listed price. The minimum actual selling price for a priced item is $0.99 USD.

Free Option

If you want readers to receive your book for free, you can set the price of that book to $0 . We also support a "tip" feature, allowing readers to give additional tips in a custom amount to further support the author.

Price Modification

After your book is listed, you can freely adjust the price or run promotional discounts. The changes take effect immediately and are automatically updated.

Publishing Process

Book Cover

A completed EPUB file already includes the book cover, so there's no need to upload it separately. However, if you're uploading a non-EPUB format file, you'll need to upload a separate cover image. For PDF files, an independent image file serves as the book cover.

Book Title, Author, and Category

Accurate information about the book title, author, and relevant tags is crucial for readers to recognize your work. Please make sure to fill in this information correctly.

Keywords

Well-chosen keywords can help readers discover your work when searching for related topics, increasing the visibility of your book. Avoid using unrelated terms as keywords, as they may have a counterproductive effect.

Publisher/Author Exclusive URL

Once a publisher or author has their first published work, they will have an exclusive URL. You can share this URL to promote your book.

Book Collection combine multiple ebooks into a bundle for sale, suitable for books series or various promotions.

NFT Book Collections

Collection Info

• Books in Collection - Enter the Class ID of the ebook, then click "Add"

• Total number of packages available for sale - The number of ebook bundles available for sale

Rest of the steps are the same as listing the ebooks. After setting up, click "Submit" to set up the ebook bundle.

The process for adding supplementary books (replenishing stock) is similar to the regular process of listing ebooks. However, there’s one important point to note.

Step 1: Prepare the NFT Class ID

Visit the Liker Land Bookstore and find the ebooks you want to replenish. Note down the alphanumeric string after the URL https://liker.land/en/nft/class, starting with the word "like". This alphanumeric string represents the NFT Class ID.

Step 2：Mint more ebooks

In the "Enter ISCN ID or NFT Class ID" field, input the NFT Class ID. Afterward, click "Submit".

Step 3：Fill in the number of books to mint

Enter the number of NFTs to mint in the "Number of NFT to mint" field. After filling in and confirming that everything is correct, click "Mint" to sign and complete minting.

Step 4: Select the Edition to replenish

Click on the version that needs replenishing. If you need to create a new edition, click “New Edition".

Step 5: Adjust the quantity of ebooks available for sale

Simply modify the “Total number of NFT for sale of this book”, and then click “Save Changes” to replenish the ebooks.

If there are any errors in the ISCN content, epub, or pdf file content of ebooks, they can be modified in the following ways:

Step 2: After locating the ISCN, click on "Edit ISCN".

Step 3: The "Edit ISCN Info" appears. If you need to modify the ISCN Title and Description, click "Update ISCN" after the information has been modified. If you need to replace the epub or pdf file, click on "Content Fingerprints", and "Re-upload files to update links" will appear for re-uploading the updated epub or pdf file.

Step 4: Taking the picture below as an example, this ISCN has changed from providing only a horizontal version epub to providing both horizontal and vertical version epubs. Therefore, after re-uploading both vertical and horizontal version epub files, click the "Trash" button to delete the duplicate cover file and then click "Start Upload". The Keplr wallet will pop up a window several times. Click "Approve".

Step 5: After completing the upload, click "Update ISCN" and confirm the update.

Step 6: After the ISCN is updated, the version number is displayed as /2, representing the second version of the ISCN. At the same time, readers who have purchased the ebook can re-download the new version.

If you wish to remove a published ebook, keep in mind that the ebook cannot be entirely deleted once it's "printed". The only viable method is to "abandon" it. Here's the step-by-step process:

• Open a new wallet address not publicly disclosed

• Send all NFTs slated for abandonment to this new "trash can" wallet address

• Transfer the ownership of ISCN to the new address to officially abandon the ebook.

Step 1: Prepare a CSV file

Enter the trash can address in the address column, and input the NFT Class ID of the ebook you want to abandon in the classid. If, for example, you have 100 NFTs to dispose of, the CSV file will have 100 columns of duplicate data.

Step 2: Use Liker Land BookPress to batch NFT to the trash can address

Upload the CSV by clicking "Choose File". Confirm the CSV content in the Summary, and click "Send" after ensuring correctness. Confirm the NFT send in Keplr.

Once complete, the Result page will confirm the successful transfer of NFTs.

Step 3: Transfer ISCN ownership to the trash can address

Finally, go to the ISCN Browser tool website, click "Connect" to link the wallet, and search for the ISCN of the ebook in the Search bar.

Once found, click "Transfer".

Enter the trash can address in "Transfer to", click "Transfer", and confirm in Keplr to transfer the ISCN ownership to the trash can address.
