Shelf is live ! 📚 Shelf is a digital library built inside @nimiq Pay, where discovering, borrowing, and reading books is as simple as making a crypto payment. Buying a book isn't always necessary, especially when you only need it for a few days. Shelf makes books more accessible by letting readers pay for the time they need, read directly from their devices, and return when they're done. Here's how Shelf works: - Browse a growing collection of books across different categories, explore book details, and read previews before deciding what to borrow. - Borrow with USDT. Choose how long you want a book for, whether that's 3, 7, or 14 days, and pay through Nimiq Pay on Polygon. No complicated checkout process. - Your own digital bookshelf. Every borrowed book appears in My Library, where you can track what you're reading, see how much time is left, and revisit your borrowing history. - Read directly on Shelf. Open your borrowed books in a built-in reading interface, with everything in one place. - Automatic returns. When your borrowing period ends, access expires automatically. No manual returns, no late fees, and no unexpected deductions. You can always borrow the book again. - A space for authors and publishers. Shelf also creates an opportunity for content creators to make their books available to readers. Authors and publishers receive 80% of borrowing revenue, while Shelf takes 20% to maintain the platform. The idea is simple. Discover a book → Choose a borrowing period → Pay with USDT → Read → Return. No need to purchase a full book when you only need temporary access. Shelf is our entry into the @miniappscomp, under the Pay track, built around the idea that crypto payments should unlock useful everyday experiences. We're starting with digital books, with more ways to discover and access knowledge planned as the library grows. Discover. Borrow. Read. Return.
