Hi #cPenNetwork community,
The two questions we hear most right now are:
“When is the INK distribution?”
“Where will INK be listed?”
This post answers both — and explains the thinking behind our decisions, because we believe you deserve the reasoning, not just the conclusions.
TL;DR
- KYC + liveness verification has been extended to August 21, 23:59:59 UTC. Many of you asked for more time, and we heard you. This is the final deadline; there will be no further extension.
- Only accounts that complete KYC + liveness by the deadline will be eligible for their mined INK distribution. Completing KYC after it reopens later will not restore INK eligibility.
- After the window closes, we are targeting approximately 2 weeks for verification, followed by a phased INK distribution, targeted to begin around mid-September, depending on verification progress. We will work to begin as early as we responsibly can.
- INK will launch on PancakeSwap on BNB Chain. We are not pursuing a centralized exchange listing for launch.
- Our launch approach is built around four choices: DEX-first trading, the voluntary INK Lock program, phased distribution, and ecosystem support including buyback-and-burn and Burnchase.
What INK means to us
INK holds a special place in the cPen story, and we want to say this before talking about logistics.
INK mining had barely begun when the project entered the hardest periods we had ever faced.
The people mining INK at that time could have walked away. Instead, you stayed.
Through the INK season, we found our direction, put the larger ecosystem together, and rebuilt step by step. Your continued participation gave us the opportunity to keep building through that period.
INK carries that story.
This launch is our opportunity to treat it with the care it deserves.
Where INK will be listed, and why
INK will launch on PancakeSwap on BNB Chain, the same DEX where CPEN trades today.
We are not pursuing a centralized exchange listing for the INK launch.
We want to be transparent about why.
The CPEN centralized-exchange listing required significant funds and months of work. Looking back, we believe those resources could have been put to better use building the product and ecosystem.
The recent exchange wind-down also reinforced another consideration: when tokens are held on a centralized exchange, holders depend on that exchange's custody, operations, and withdrawal infrastructure.
With a DEX, users trade directly from self-custody wallets, and transactions can be verified on-chain. It also allows us to avoid significant centralized listing costs and focus our resources on building the ecosystem.
That does not mean DEX trading is risk-free. Crypto assets remain volatile, and DEX users should understand market, liquidity, smart-contract, wallet-security, and transaction risks.
One door remains open: if a genuine top-tier exchange opportunity appears in the future on terms that make sense for the project and community, we will consider it.
What we do not intend to do is spend heavily simply for the sake of having an exchange listing.
Launching INK carefully
We are long-term builders, and our priority is the utility and sustainability of the cPen ecosystem.
The CPEN experience also taught us that the structure of a token launch matters.
For INK, we are taking four deliberate steps:
1. DEX-first launch
INK will begin on PancakeSwap without a paid centralized-exchange listing.
This keeps more project resources available for development, infrastructure, and ecosystem programs.
2. INK Lock
The voluntary INK Lock election announced earlier has now closed.
Users who chose to lock their eligible INK will have their distributed INK subject to the lock period they selected, together with the applicable bonus terms.
These were voluntary choices made by users before distribution.
3. Phased distribution
INK will be distributed in phases rather than through one single distribution.
We will announce the schedule and details of each phase before it begins.
4. Ecosystem support
INK is planned to be supported alongside CPEN across the cPen ecosystem, including the buyback-and-burn program, Burnchase, and future ecosystem programs as they roll out.
Buyback-and-burn activity is part of the token ecosystem; it should not be understood as a guarantee of INK's market price or future value.
The timeline
Now → August 21, 23:59:59 UTC
KYC + liveness verification remains open.
We extended the deadline because many community members asked for additional time and we want eligible users to have a final opportunity to complete verification.
However, we need a fixed eligibility set before INK verification can begin.
August 21, 23:59:59 UTC is therefore the final deadline.
Accounts that have not completed both KYC and liveness by then will not be eligible for their mined INK distribution, and completing KYC after it reopens later will not restore that eligibility.
After the deadline → approximately 2 weeks
The INK verification process begins.
During this period we will confirm KYC and liveness status, verify mined INK balances, and perform the necessary anti-abuse checks.
We will work efficiently, but accuracy comes first.
Target: around mid-September
The phased INK distribution is targeted to begin, subject to completion of the verification process.
We will announce the distribution details and each phase before it starts.
After INK verification/distribution
KYC will reopen for users who need it for HATN and future cPen features.
Please understand the distinction:
Reopened KYC will not restore eligibility for mined INK from the completed INK mining period.
What you should do before August 21
1. Complete KYC + liveness verification
If you have not completed both, please do so before August 21, 23:59:59 UTC.
Do not leave it until the final hours.
If the liveness check is having difficulty:
- Update the cPen app to the latest official version.
- Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- If you can, try another phone; use a different brand. Phones from the same manufacturer often share the same issue.
- Use a well-lit environment and disable display filters or power-saving settings that may interfere with the camera.
2. Check your BSC wallet address
INK will be distributed to the eligible wallet address saved in your cPen account.
It must be a self-custody wallet where you control the keys, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
Do not use a centralized exchange deposit address.
Tokens sent to an incorrect or unsupported exchange address may be unrecoverable.
Once you have confirmed that your wallet address is correct, we recommend using the wallet lock feature if it is available to you.
The wallet lock adds an email-verification step before the saved address can be changed, providing additional protection for your distribution address.
3. Follow only official cPen channels
Important INK announcements will come from this account and through announcements inside the official cPen app.
⚠️ Stay safe
The official cPen INK contract address has not yet been published.
We will publish it through our official channels when the INK launch goes live.
Until then, any token claiming to be the official cPen INK token is not official.
After launch, always verify the contract address against our official channels before interacting with the token.
The cPen team will never DM you first and will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys.
Nobody can restore your INK eligibility, accelerate verification, or recover an expired eligibility deadline in exchange for payment.
What comes next
From here, you will see updates as each stage moves forward:
INK verification → distribution details → phased distribution → DEX launch
We will announce each step as it is ready.
INK miners stayed with this project through one of its hardest chapters.
Now it is our responsibility to carry INK through the next chapter carefully, transparently, and step by step.
Thank you for being here and for continuing this journey with us.

cPen Team
A small team with a big dream
Hi #cPenNetwork community,
With HATN mining now live and our CPEN buyback-and-burn program continuing (running since the CPEN token launch and automated since July 2026), we want to share where cPen is heading next.
There is a lot we want to build. Below are the priorities we are working toward: what is in development now, what we plan to build next, and our longer-term direction.
🔨 IN DEVELOPMENT NOW
🎮 Web2 Games
We are developing our first Web2 game, a standalone app separate from the cPen app that we plan to promote through the cPen ecosystem.
Revenue generated by the game is intended to become an additional revenue source supporting our buyback-and-burn program.
This is also an experiment in expanding the cPen ecosystem beyond a single app.
AI-assisted development gives our small team new ways to prototype, build and test products more efficiently. If this model works well, we hope to gradually develop more standalone apps across different categories, creating additional utility, experiences and potential revenue sources for the ecosystem.
⏭️ COMING NEXT
🛒 cPen Market
We plan to evolve the current cPen Wall into cPen Market.
The existing Wall experience and your Dan balance will carry forward, while the Market expands what users can discover, promote and eventually sell through the cPen ecosystem.
We plan to begin with digital products and content, such as Mobile apps, books, PDFs, photos and other digital items, and gradually explore physical products over time.
We currently envision two main types of listings:
• Promotional / non-sale listings: use Dan to publish, such as promoting an app, service or project
• Paid products: marketplace fees will apply to transactions
Details about fees, seller eligibility, supported products, marketplace rules and regional availability will be announced before launch.
🔥 Dan
Dan is cPen's internal platform credit. It is not a cryptocurrency and has no cash-out value.
Today, Dan can be spent on Wall posts and can be earned through Burnchase.
As the ecosystem grows, we plan to expand both sides of Dan:
→ More ways to earn Dan
→ More ways to use Dan
Our goal is for Dan to become a useful internal credit connecting different parts of the cPen ecosystem.
🚶 Step Counter
We are exploring a verified step-based feature that could reward eligible users for daily walking.
Our current plan is to support Dan rewards, with the possibility of HATN rewards as well.
Verification and anti-abuse measures will be part of the design so that rewards are based on eligible activity.
Reward rates, eligibility requirements and availability are still being designed and will be announced later.
💬 cStory Social Features
We will continue expanding cStory step by step.
Comments and user-created posts are among the next features we plan to introduce, with the longer-term goal of building a more complete social experience inside cPen.
🌐 LONG-TERM DIRECTION
⛓️ cPen Mainnet
Our current target is to launch the cPen testnet in early 2027 and continue network development throughout 2027.
Over the longer term, our goal is to progressively build more of the cPen ecosystem on the cPen Mainnet.
We have already built several of the core pieces:
✅ Token mining: live
✅ Revenue generation through the cPen platform: live
✅ Token distribution infrastructure: established
✅ CPEN buyback-and-burn: running and now automated
The next stage is about building on that foundation:
→ More useful and enjoyable products for users
→ More utility across the ecosystem
→ More independent revenue sources
→ A broader revenue base supporting buyback-and-burn
→ Progress toward our own blockchain infrastructure
We have built the foundation.
Now we want to scale up and scale out, one product at a time.
Let's build it together.
Thank you for your continued support.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,
⏳ Final Reminder: INK Mining Ends Soon
INK mining will officially end on July 30, 2026, at 23:59:59 UTC.
To help ensure a smooth verification, distribution, and transition, please complete the following:
✅ Update your cPen app to the latest version (1.3.22+)
✅ Complete your KYC and Liveness verification
✅ Submit a valid self-custody wallet address
Please do not use a CEX or exchange deposit address, as it may not be supported for the INK distribution.
After confirming that your wallet address is correct, we strongly recommend locking it to help protect your account and prevent accidental changes.
What happens after INK mining ends?
Following the end of INK mining, there will be a two-week grace period for users who still need to complete their KYC and Liveness verification.
After the grace period:
• KYC and Liveness verification will temporarily close for the INK distribution process
• INK balance verification will begin
• INK distribution will be completed in phases
More details about the verification process, distribution schedule, and individual phases will be announced separately.
INK Lock & Earn
Eligible users may choose to lock their full verified INK balance to earn additional INK.
Depending on the selected lock period, users may earn up to 40% additional INK.
Please note:
• The full verified INK balance must be locked; partial locking is not available
• Lock selections may be changed or cancelled before the selection period closes on August 14, 2026
• Users who do not make a selection will receive the regular phased INK distribution
• Bonus INK will be calculated based on the verified INK balance
• Bonus INK will be credited after the lock period ends and will follow the same phased release process
The next mining chapter begins
🌐 HATN mining will begin immediately after INK mining ends, starting on July 31, 2026, at 00:00:00 UTC.
HATN, Human Attention Token, is based on the Attention-Token Economic Model introduced in our research paper, From Labor to Attention.
Please complete the required steps before the grace period ends, confirm that your wallet address is accurate, and review your Lock & Earn selection before August 14.
Thank you for your continued support.
cPen Team
A small team with a big dream
Hi #cPenNetwork community,
To celebrate the completion of $INK mining and the beginning of HATN mining, we’re excited to launch a four-week Double Buyback Campaign. 🔥
During this campaign period (July 13, 2026 ~ August 9, 2026), we will double the buyback amount.
You can track all buyback activity on the OnChain page in the cPen app.
Our vision is simple:
1️⃣ Users mine tokens through the cPen app
2️⃣ The app generates revenue through its ecosystem
3️⃣ Eligible users receive token distributions
4️⃣ A portion of the app’s revenue is used to buy back tokens from the open market
This creates what we call a Closed-Loop Mobile-Mining Economy, a model designed to connect user participation, app revenue, token distribution, and market buybacks in one sustainable cycle.
As we continue exploring this model, we know there will be challenges along the way. Building something new takes time, learning, and the continued support of our community.
An important part of strengthening this economic loop is diversifying the project’s revenue sources.
In the future, we plan to expand the cPen ecosystem across both Web3 and Web2, creating more revenue opportunities and allowing more funds to support token buybacks.
The project cannot succeed without the community behind it.
Thank you for your continued trust and support!

A small team with a big dream
Hi #cPenNetwork community,
A new chapter is about to begin. 🚀
$INK mining will officially end on July 30, 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC.
One second later, on July 31, 2026 at 00:00:00 UTC, a new journey begins with HATN mining: Human Attention Token.
📱 Please update your cPen app to version 1.3.22 or later to ensure a seamless transition from $INK to HATN mining.
The idea is simple: attention matters, consistency matters, and your time matters.
Here’s how HATN mining works 👇
⛏️ Daily Claims
Instead of keeping a 24-hour mining session running in the background, HATN rewards active claims.
You can make up to 4 claims per UTC day:
• Claim 1: Basic, 1.0×
• Claim 2: Bonus, 1.1×
• Claim 3: Bonus, 1.3×
• Claim 4: Bonus, 1.5×
The Basic Claim rewards 5 HATN.
The first claim is the only one needed to maintain your daily mining activity. Bonus claims are optional opportunities to earn more, similar to earning more when you choose to work overtime.
🔥 Streaks
Consecutive Basic Claims build your mining streak.
Only the Basic Claim is required to maintain your streak.
Bonus Claims are pure upside — never an obligation.
🏖️ Vacation Days
Yes, really. 😎
Every successful claim earns you 0.02 Vacation Days.
Miss a full day?
When you have enough Vacation Day balance, it is automatically used to protect your streak and credit your Basic Claim for that day.
Mining should respect the fact that you have a life outside the app.
When HATN distribution takes place, unused Vacation Days can also be converted into HATN.
📉 Missing a Day Without Vacation Coverage
When a user is absent for a full day and has no available Vacation Day balance:
• The mining streak resets
• A deduction equal to one Basic Claim applies
• The deducted HATN is permanently burned
This creates a balance between participation, flexibility, and long-term token scarcity.
🎉 cPen Holidays
We’re also introducing cPen Holidays for HATN mining.
When you mine before and after an eligible holiday, you can enjoy the holiday benefits:
🎁 Every manual claim rewards 2× HATN
🏖️ Absences during the holiday are not penalized
There will be two cPen Holidays each year:
• January 1: New Year’s Day
• October 24: Attention Day.
🤝 Referral Mining Rewards
When someone you invited manually claims HATN, you can earn 10% of the HATN they manually claim, as long as you also complete your own Basic Claim that day.
The 10% referral reward applies only to HATN earned through manual claims.
It does not apply to:
• Vacation Day credits
• Token burns or deductions
• Automatic credits
• Other rewards or distributions
Stay active, help grow the community, and earn together.
📱 Once again, please update your cPen app to version 1.3.22 or later to ensure a seamless transition.
$INK was one chapter. Human Attention (HATN) begins next.
Thank you for your continued support.
