HOW IT WILL WORK

The mechanism, step by step — scholars in, readers in, money moving. Decided, not built. When it changes, the trust center changes with it.

What the chain holds

The blockchain is the cash register and the notary — not the library.

The moneySPIN — payments settle on Base.
The proofA fingerprint + timestamp of each work.
The licenseWho paid whom, for what rights.

The manuscript or dataset itself lives in normal off-chain storage, held by Glenride.

The two flows

Phase 1 · Scholars

Publish and get paid

  1. 1Connect a wallet on the repository.
  2. 2Upload the manuscript or dataset.
  3. 3Set license tiers — read, commercial, exclusive.
  4. 4Share the page. The scholar markets their own link.
  5. 5Get paid in SPIN on every license — notified each time.
Phase 2 · Readers

One page, one price, one button

  1. 1Browse the repository.
  2. 2See the terms — what it is, what it costs, what the license allows.
  3. 3Pay SPIN.
  4. 4Access per the license — read, or reuse commercially.

License tiers

ReadPay SPIN to read and browse the work.
CommercialPay SPIN to reuse the work commercially.
ExclusiveNegotiated — including embargo-style timed exclusives: one outlet, one window, terms visible to everyone. A priced product, not a backroom deal.

Operated by Glenride. Glenride holds the manuscripts and runs the platform day to day. Changes to this mechanism go through consensus of the larger Glenride body — and the trust center stays the public record of what is live versus planned.
