A blockchain-powered e-book marketplace that gives authors verifiable ownership and anti-piracy protection, while keeping the reading experience completely familiar. Buy like normal, own like never be
Shugora (书阁楼) is a blockchain-powered e-book publishing and marketplace platform built on 0G infrastructure. It gives authors verifiable ownership, on-chain licensing, and anti-piracy protection through personalized PDF watermarking — while keeping the buying and reading experience completely familiar for everyday users.
Authors upload PDF e-books which are registered on 0G Storage with a canonical content hash. When a reader purchases a book, an on-chain license entry is created on the 0G Aristotle mainnet via our LicenseRegistry smart contract, and a uniquely watermarked PDF is generated for that specific buyer.
For readers: email signup, normal checkout, download a PDF, read in any standard app. No wallet required. No blockchain friction.
Tagline: Buy like normal, own like never before.
