Introduction
This documentation is intended to introduce the general user to the project, as well as to serve as a guide for anyone who may be developing software using PenX.
What is PenX?
PenX is an open-source platform designed to create self-hosted Web3 blogs within the Ethereum ecosystem. When you build a blog site on PenX, you’ll have access to a wide range of exciting features and opportunities.
For instance, we provide a more efficient transaction environment. Moreover, with your Web3 blogs, you’ll enjoy greater autonomy in interactions and content monetization. You can independently integrate ads, gaining a higher share of revenue. Through equity distribution, you and your community can participate in the blog’s growth, enhancing interaction and loyalty.
Features
Tokenomics for blogs
Each blog has its own unique token, adhering to the ERC20 standard. Anyone can exchange and hold these tokens using ETH. Tokens can be used for payments such as subscriptions and advertising fees.
Based on the Bonding Curve economic model, as more people support the blog, the token’s value increases, strengthening the bond between bloggers and readers and forming a community of shared interests. Tokens are also used for revenue distribution; blog earnings are distributed to beneficiaries according to their share proportions.

PenX offers a secure and flexible Web3 subscription system designed to enhance user experience and build trust.
- Variety of Subscription Plans: Bloggers can customize subscription options to meet their audience’s needs.
- Effortless Token Payments: Users can easily subscribe using tokens, fully integrated with the platform.
- Secure Blockchain Storage: Subscription details are stored on the blockchain, ensuring security and immutability.
- Real-Time, Precise Billing: Supports second-level billing for accurate management.
