About PUBLISH

PUBLISH (NEWS) is a blockchain-based token designed to enhance engagement, security, and innovation in the news media industry. It rewards user interactions with content, supports secure digital identities for journalists, and facilitates the creation and trading of NFTs linked to news articles. Established by Sungmin Kwon in 2018, PUBLISH aims to redefine the relationship between media and readers through its decentralised ecosystem.

PUBLISH, identified by its token symbol NEWS, is a utility token integral to the PUBLISH Protocol, a blockchain-based platform aimed at revolutionising the news and media industry. Launched to create a sustainable ecosystem, PUBLISH leverages decentralised technologies such as decentralised identity (DID) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to foster secure and interactive news dissemination. The NEWS token is crucial for various transactions and activities within this ecosystem, promoting engagement and authenticity in the media space.

The NEWS token serves multiple purposes within the PUBLISH Protocol:

  1. Rewarding Engagement: Users earn NEWS tokens through activities like reading, sharing, and commenting on articles via PUBLISH link, enhancing reader interaction and loyalty.

  2. Decentralised Identity (DID): The platform uses DID to verify journalists' identities, ensuring credibility and reducing misinformation in news reporting.

  3. NFT and Digital Asset Creation: NEWS tokens facilitate the creation and management of NFTs, allowing media organisations to tokenize and trade digital assets tied to news content.

  4. Community and Governance: Token holders can participate in the platform's governance, influencing decisions and promoting transparency.

  5. DeFi Integration: With PUBLISH 2.0, NEWS tokens can be used in DeFi applications like staking and liquidity provision, incentivising active community engagement.


PUBLISH was founded in 2018 by Sungmin Kwon, a South Korean entrepreneur dedicated to integrating blockchain technology into the news industry. The project emerged to address the financial and credibility challenges faced by traditional news outlets. Through the PUBLISH Protocol, Kwon aims to build a decentralised and sustainable media ecosystem that benefits readers, journalists, publishers, and advertisers.
