About Books

Where Web3 meets literature. Where blockchain becomes your library. Where stories live forever.

About Side Quest Studios

Side Quest Studios is a creative agency that ships web projects, music releases, and digital products. We build fast, ship often, and sweat the details. We're a team of builders, creators, and dreamers who believe in the power of technology to transform how we create, share, and experience art.

From music distribution platforms to NFT marketplaces, from Web3 applications to digital experiences, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Books is our latest adventure—a love letter to literature, blockchain technology, and the future of storytelling.

The Inspiration

Books was born from a simple question: What if your library lived on the blockchain? What if every book you owned was a unique digital asset? What if you could collect rare editions, trade with other readers, and truly own your digital library?

We were inspired by the Web3 revolution—the idea that creators and consumers can connect directly, without intermediaries. We saw how NFTs transformed art, music, and collectibles, and we asked: Why not books?

The answer was clear: Books deserve the same treatment. Literature is art. Stories are valuable. And readers should own what they love.

Web3: The Start of Your Book Journey

Web3 isn't just technology—it's a philosophy. It's about ownership, decentralization, and community. When you connect your Tezos wallet to Books, you're not just accessing content. You're joining a movement.

Your wallet becomes your library card. Your NFTs become your collection. Your blockchain address becomes your identity in a global community of readers. This is the future of reading—decentralized, owned, and free.

We believe that Web3 is the perfect starting point for your book journey because it puts you in control. No subscriptions. No DRM. No middlemen. Just you, your wallet, and the stories you love.

The Value of the Blockchain

The blockchain brings something revolutionary to books: permanent ownership. When you own a book on the blockchain, it's yours forever. It can't be deleted. It can't be taken away. It's stored on a decentralized network that exists independently of any single company or server.

But ownership is just the beginning. The blockchain enables:

šŸ”’ True Ownership

Your books are yours. Forever. No one can revoke your access or delete your collection.

🌐 Decentralization

Books are stored on IPFS—a distributed network that can't be shut down or censored.

šŸ’Ž Provenance

Every book has a complete history on the blockchain. You know exactly where it came from.

šŸ¤ Community

Connect with other readers, trade books, and build a global library together.

Different Editions & Collecting

Not all books are created equal. Some are first editions. Some are signed copies. Some are limited runs. On Books, we celebrate these differences.

Each book can have multiple editions—each with its own rarity, artwork, and metadata. Collect the standard edition for reading. Hunt for the rare edition for collecting. Trade with other readers to complete your collection.

This isn't just about reading—it's about curating your digital library. It's about owning something unique. It's about being part of a community that values literature as both art and asset.

Selling & Trading

Books are meant to be shared. With blockchain technology, you can sell, trade, or gift your books to anyone, anywhere in the world. No platform fees. No restrictions. Just peer-to-peer transactions on the Tezos blockchain.

Found a rare edition? Sell it to another collector. Finished a book? Trade it for something new. Want to gift a story? Send it directly to a friend's wallet. The blockchain makes it all possible—instantly, securely, and permanently.

This is the future of book ownership: liquid, tradeable, and truly yours.
