Readl

Readl is a Web3 publishing platform for authors, publishers and readers, running on Polygon and letting users publish, manage and distribute multimedia literary works on-chain without technical background. It targets the problem that digital publishing sells only a reading license, with resale and gifting unavailable: works are issued as literary NFTs that holders can resell or give away, while authors keep receiving royalties through subsequent transfers.

Content skews short-form and combines text with audio, forming multimedia collections around an author or a genre. Beyond the NFT itself, rights are attached such as in-person meet-the-author events, advanced reading material and votes on future stories, using exclusive content to move readers through their first on-chain action. The NFT book marketplace went live in February 2022 and version 1.3 followed in March of the same year with marketplace and feature improvements. Operations are based in Barcelona, and readers can access purchased content on any device.
