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,

Hi #cPenNetwork community,
🔥 The CPEN Daily Burn tracker is now live.
You can view CPEN burn activity directly in the cPen app:
OnChain → Burn
As of August 4, 2026, more than 320 million CPEN have been permanently removed from circulation, approximately 9.48% of the original total supply.
Based on the CPEN market price at the time of calculation, the burned tokens had an estimated market value of more than US$200,000. This value is approximate and will fluctuate with the market price.
Buyback and burn is an important part of cPen’s token-economic design and supports the closed-loop model discussed in our research paper, From Labor to Attention: The Attention-Token Economic Model (ATEM).
The model connects ecosystem participation, app operations, token buybacks, and verifiable token burns in a continuing economic cycle.
Burn activity can be viewed and independently verified through the cPen app’s OnChain page.
Thank you for your continued support!

Hi #cPenNetwork community,
🚀 The transition is complete; HATN mining is now live!
INK mining successfully ended on July 30, 2026, and the cPen app has now automatically switched to HATN (Human Attention Token) mining.
HATN is the implementation of the Attention-Token Economic Model (ATEM) introduced in our research paper, From Labor to Attention.
⛏️ How HATN Mining Works
Users can make up to four claims per UTC day:
• Claim 1 — Basic: 1.0×
• Claim 2: 1.1×
• Claim 3: 1.3×
• Claim 4: 1.5×
The Basic Claim is 5 HATN. Each additional claim rewards greater participation and attention.
Referral rewards equal 10% of manually claimed HATN. Vacation-day credits, burns, and other rewards are not included in the referral calculation.
📱 Update Your App
Please update the cPen app to version 1.3.22 or later to access HATN mining and ensure a smooth experience.
HATN mining is currently available only through the official cPen app downloaded from:
• Google Play Store
• Apple App Store
Please note that HATN mining is not currently available in the APK version or Web version.
🪙 What Happens Next for INK?
Although INK mining has ended, the INK distribution process is only beginning:
1️⃣ A two-week grace period will allow users to complete their KYC and Liveness verification.
2️⃣ After the grace period, INK token verification will begin.
3️⃣ Once verification is completed, INK will be distributed in phases.
Please complete your KYC and Liveness verification during the grace period and make sure your submitted wallet address is correct.
Thank you to everyone who participated in INK mining. We are excited to begin this new chapter with HATN and continue building a sustainable, attention-driven ecosystem together.

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.
