We work to improve many of the processes that writers and publishing companies do encounter in the publishing field. Want to see how do we do it? Check this use cases:
Authorship and Title Protection
Who really claimed the title first?
Imagine two authors writing different books but choosing the same title. When the moment of publication arrives, who has the right to keep it? Many writers have faced this dilemma, sometimes forced to change their title at the very last minute because another author had already used it. These conflicts create frustration, delays, and even legal disputes.
With SAHEL, this scenario changes completely.
By registering a manuscript or title on the Solana blockchain, SAHEL provides an immutable, time-stamped proof of authorship. The registration acts as a digital certificate that clearly demonstrates who secured the title first. This not only prevents last-minute confrontations but also grants the author a legally verifiable priority right to use that title for publishing.
A new standard of trust for authors.
Instead of depending on slow, fragmented, or costly copyright systems, authors can now rely on blockchain as a universal and tamper-proof record. SAHEL ensures that your creativity is protected, your title is yours, and your rights are globally recognized.
Result → Clear protection against disputes, faster publication processes, and peace of mind for both authors and publishers.
From Manuscript to Instant Royalties
From manuscript to royalties—automatically.
Picture this: an author delivers their manuscript to a publisher. In just seconds, the book, author, and date are registered on the Solana blockchain, creating an immutable, eternal record of authorship. A unique cryptographic code certifies ownership permanently, ensuring that the author’s rights are protected from the very beginning.
Blockchain as proof, smart contracts as execution.
Once the book is published online, it is linked to a smart contract that contains both the identification code and the author’s wallet address. From that moment, every transaction is handled automatically: every time a reader buys the book, the smart contract transfers the agreed royalties directly to the author’s wallet in SAHEL tokens.
Transparent, error-free, and immediate.
There are no intermediaries to slow down the process, no delays in payment cycles, and no room for accounting errors. The system guarantees that revenue flows to the author instantly and fairly, strengthening trust between publishers and creators.
Result → Every book sold is directly tied to an on-chain royalty payment, making publishing faster, fairer, and more transparent than ever before.
Printed Books with Digital Trust
Printed books, smarter than ever.
When a publisher distributes printed books to bookstores, each copy is no longer just ink on paper—it carries its own digital passport. A QR code, tied directly to a blockchain record on Solana, ensures that every book is uniquely authenticated.
From bookstore to blockchain.
When a reader purchases a copy, the bookstore simply scans the QR code. Instantly, the sale is registered on-chain in the publisher’s system, creating a transparent and tamper-proof record of the transaction.
Smart contracts, fair royalties.
At that very moment, a smart contract is triggered. Royalties are automatically distributed to all contributors—author, illustrator, translator—according to predefined agreements. Payments are executed in SAHEL tokens, guaranteeing accuracy, speed, and fairness across the publishing supply chain.
Result → Every printed book sold becomes a verifiable transaction, ensuring creators are compensated transparently and readers can trust in the authenticity of their purchase.
Limited and Collector’s Editions
Own a piece of literary history.
Publishers have always released special editions to captivate readers and collectors—numbered runs, signed copies, or books enriched with exclusive extras. But with SAHEL, these editions gain an entirely new dimension of trust, authenticity, and value.
Every copy uniquely certified.
Each limited edition is recorded on the Solana blockchain with a unique cryptographic identifier linked to an NFT. This identifier acts as a permanent certificate of authenticity and serial number. Readers can instantly verify, through a QR code or NFT, that their copy is genuine and part of the official limited run. No counterfeits, no uncertainty—only guaranteed authenticity.
Royalties beyond the first sale.
The real breakthrough comes when these editions move through the secondary market. Smart contracts can be programmed not only to manage the first sale but also to continue distributing royalties automatically for each resale. Authors, illustrators, and publishers remain fairly compensated throughout the entire lifecycle of the book, even years after its initial release.
Result → For readers and collectors, it’s added cultural and collectible value. For authors and publishers, it unlocks brand-new revenue streams while ensuring recognition never stops. For the industry as a whole, it introduces a blockchain-backed system of authenticity and fairness that cannot be falsified.
