Weekly update — June 22
Hey everyone! Ready for another week of updates? Yes? Good! Let's go then!
First BOOK ICO successfully completed!
Recently Publica launched its first BOOK ICO with the American best-selling author Matthew Kepnes and his upcoming book “Backpacker's Guide to Europe”.
The duration of the ICO was from June 6th to June 20th and the Hard Cap was 10,000 USD or 1000 BOOK tokens, that amounts to 10$ per book.
The ICO concluded just a few days ago and all of the BOOK tokens were purchased making the BOOK ICO a success.
We are very happy with the way this turned out and with what this means for the future of BOOK ICO's.
We also want to thank anyone who participated in the BOOK ICO and for that we held a giveaway campaign in which five lucky owners of the book TOKENS had a chance to win 500 PBL tokens!
Giveaway concluded
We were happy with everyone who participated in both the BOOK ICO and the giveaway, helping to spread the word!
So without further ado, the winners:
- Daniel Cake-Baly
- Chris Kittredge
- Alexander Gudkin
- Bland McCartha
- Eric le Goff
Thank you for participating!
