Hi #cPenNetwork community,

🎉 Our first HATN mining holiday is almost here: Attention Day, October 24!

Here’s how to take part:

✅ Qualify on October 23 (UTC).
Make your basic mining claim that day. If October 23 is covered by a personal day or vacation day, that also qualifies you.

⛏️ Claim double on October 24 (UTC).
For eligible members, every basic and bonus mining claim earns twice its usual HATN amount. The usual daily claim limit and cooldown still apply.

🕛 The holiday runs for the full UTC day: October 24, 00:00–23:59 UTC.

Open the cPen app, make your basic claim on the 23rd, and come back for double HATN on the 24th!

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

📢 INK: The Remaining Distribution Schedule

Today we’re announcing the dates for both remaining INK phases, so everyone has the same information well in advance.

🗓️ Phase 2: Friday, December 11, 2026 at 18:00 UTC

🗓️ Phase 3: Friday, March 5, 2027 at 18:00 UTC

Each phase starts 12 weeks after the previous one, on a Friday at 18:00 UTC.

These dates are fixed unless a technical issue with BNB Chain or our distribution system requires a change. If that happens, we will explain it here and announce the revised schedule as soon as possible.

How distribution works

For verified INK that is not locked:

• Phase 2 distributes 33.33% of your verified INK. Phase 3 distributes the remaining balance.

• Payment is automatic, to the BSC (BEP-20) wallet address saved in your cPen app when each phase is processed.

• There is nothing to claim and no wallet connection required.

• Distribution is expected to take several hours. Please wait until we announce completion before contacting support about a missing payment.

A 5% processing fee is deducted from each payout. Across all three phases, the total fee is 5% of the INK distributed, not 15%.

If a missing or invalid wallet address prevents payment, correct it in the app before the deadline.
Eligible missed phase payouts will then be processed automatically.

The deadline for these missed payouts is September 1, 2027; 180 days after Phase 3 begins. After the deadline, unpaid INK from these phases will never be issued.

Locked INK follows the separate payment dates and expiry windows.

If a missing or invalid address prevents a locked payment, you have 180 days from that portion’s payment date to correct it in the app. After that window, the unpaid portion will never be issued.

🔥 Buyback and burn continues

A share of cPen’s ad revenue continues to fund INK purchases on the open market. The purchased INK is sent to the burn address, permanently removing it from circulation.

More than 18 million INK has now been sent to the burn address in total. You can check the balance here:
https://t.co/8CdIVkwvDX

Check your wallet address before December 11

Open the cPen app → Wallet → INK row.

✅ Use a self-custody wallet where you control the keys, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
❌ Do not use an exchange deposit address.
🔒 Lock your address once you have checked that it is correct.

Changed wallets since Phase 1? Update your saved address before Phase 2 is processed. Each payment uses the address saved at the time it is processed.

We cannot recover or resend INK already sent to an old wallet or an exchange deposit address.

Stay safe

INK distribution does not require a claim website, a claim form, a wallet connection, or an upfront payment.

Anyone asking you to connect a wallet or send funds to receive your INK is a scammer. We never DM first. Verify announcements through this account and inside the cPen app.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

Invite friends, and you both earn HATN 🎁

Starting now, eligible new sign-ups earn rewards for both you and your friend:

• You get 75 HATN for the next eligible friend you invite, even if you’ve invited friends before.

• After that, you get 25 HATN for each additional eligible friend.

• Each friend gets a 25 HATN sign-up bonus when they join using your invite.

• As before, you also earn a bonus equal to 10% of your friends’ daily mining rewards, on the days you mine too.

How to invite 📱

Open the Invite page in the cPen app and share your link. Your friend must install cPen from the App Store or Google Play and sign up using your invite.

Sign-ups through the APK or web version do not qualify for the sign-up bonuses.

Fair play 🤝

Sign-up bonuses and mining referral rewards are subject to verification before distribution. Invited friends must complete KYC. Rewards linked to friends who do not complete KYC, or to fake, duplicate or suspended accounts, are removed before distribution.

We monitor sign-ups for abuse. Creating or using multiple accounts violates our Terms.

Invite real friends. Grow the community together.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

👟 Steps is now live in cPen on the App Store and Google Play!

Your daily walk now comes with Red Packets. 🎁

How it works:

✅ Every 1,000 steps unlocks a Red Packet.
✅ Open each packet to receive a randomly assigned HATN or Dan reward.
✅ Unlock up to 10 packets a day by reaching 10,000 steps.
✅ Open your unlocked packets in order before the daily reset. Unopened packets don’t carry over.

What is Dan?

Dan is cPen’s in-app credit. It is non-transferable and cannot be cashed out. You can currently use it on the Wall to post your services, projects and announcements.

We’re also working on more ways to use Dan across cPen. Stay tuned!

Steps uses the step count your phone already records, so you don’t need to keep cPen open while you walk.

📱 Update cPen, then tap Steps on the Home screen to get started:
https://t.co/CCTqLpWon0

Reward probabilities are shown in the app. On Android, Steps requires the Google Play version of cPen and Google Play services. Terms apply.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

Since INK Phase 1 and its PancakeSwap launch, we’ve read your feedback, including your disappointment with the price. We hear you.

We cannot set or promise INK’s market price. What we can do is explain the model we’re building:

• People use the cPen app and mine tokens.

• The app generates revenue, including from ads.

• We use a portion of that revenue for token buybacks.

For this to grow, three things matter:

1. Real accounts. Bots and duplicate accounts undermine fairness for genuine members. We’ve added face liveness to KYC and will keep improving our fraud controls.

2. Revenue. Buyback amounts depend on the revenue available. We’re working to grow the app and develop more ways for the ecosystem to earn revenue.

3. Community. Your participation and feedback help us build an app people want to use and keep improving it.

Buybacks do not guarantee a higher price. We know this approach is unusual for mobile mining, and we know it takes time. We believe building real participation and revenue gives cPen a stronger foundation, and we’ll keep sharing the results as we go.

Thank you for staying with us and telling us what you think.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

INK Phase 1 is complete, and INK is now live on PancakeSwap.

On September 18, we distributed Phase 1 to 150k+ eligible wallets with valid addresses. The official PancakeSwap pool opened after the distribution was completed.

As expected, distribution day brought heavy early selling pressure. The three-phase release was designed to spread distribution over time, while members who selected INK Lock receive the applicable bonus under the program terms.

INK has also been added to our publicly verifiable buyback-and-burn program, which has operated for CPEN since 2025.

🔥 First INK buyback and burn

The first INK buyback and burn has been completed, with 974,818 INK sent to the designated burn address.

Verify the transaction:
https://t.co/1dFvzDMDG6

Phases 2 and 3 will each be announced before they begin.

TGE is a starting point, not the finish line. Our focus now is building useful products that give the cPen ecosystem practical reasons to grow and remain active over time.

What we are building next:

🚶 cPen Step Counter: a planned feature that rewards daily walking, initially with Dan and HATN.

🎮 A mobile game: a standalone game designed to reach users beyond crypto and connect more Web2 activity with the cPen ecosystem.

🤖 An AI-powered job-seeking assistant: a separate AI-powered app designed to help people with practical job-search tasks and potentially create external revenue for ecosystem development.

🤝 The BitMart Assistance Program: support for eligible members affected by the BitMart shutdown, with final program details to be announced separately.

Why this matters: cPen is being built as an attention-focused ecosystem, not simply a mining app.

Our goal is to create useful products that attract genuine engagement and generate revenue through advertising and services. When revenue is allocated to token buybacks and burns, those transactions will be reported publicly on-chain.

We believe human attention will remain important as AI advances. That idea is the foundation of our new mining token, the Human Attention Token (HATN).

Thank you for your continued support. Be part of the journey, watch what we build, and hold us accountable.

Important: This is a project update, not investment advice or a promise of token price, liquidity, or returns. Crypto assets are volatile, and buybacks or burns do not guarantee market performance.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

INK Phase 1 Is Complete; Trading Is Now Live on PancakeSwap

Phase 1 has been sent to every eligible account with a valid BSC wallet address. You can check your distribution in the cPen app under Wallet → INK, or search your wallet address on BscScan.

Official links; always verify before trading:

INK contract: 0xCe22bBCaa12cA5fF3e163D5D32A425723B2d2F4c

Official cPen-controlled wallets, including distribution, treasury, team, ecosystem and processing-fee wallets: https://t.co/UkF7v8iKi0

At launch, the following non-community allocations were minted in accordance with our published tokenomics:

Treasury (12%): 133,310,057.68 INK
Team (10%): 111,091,714.73 INK
Ecosystem (8%): 88,873,371.79 INK

The 70% Community allocation is not pre-minted. Community INK is minted as verified balances are distributed, phase by phase.

A 5% processing fee applies only to the INK distributed in each phase. Across all three phases, the total fee remains 5% of your distributed INK.

The Team and Ecosystem allocations will be placed in PinkLock under the published vesting schedule: 2% of the total supply at TGE, followed by 2% every 30 days.

⚠️ Anyone can create a fake pool or a token using the INK name. Always verify the complete contract and pool addresses against our official channels before trading.

Don’t see INK in your wallet?

Add INK as a custom token using:

Network: BNB Smart Chain
Contract: 0xCe22bBCaa12cA5fF3e163D5D32A425723B2d2F4c
Decimals: 18

Some wallets require this even after the tokens have arrived. Your balance remains on-chain and can be verified by searching your wallet address on BscScan.

Phases 2 and 3 will be announced before they begin. If you joined INK Lock, your locked portion will be distributed when your selected lock period ends, together with the applicable bonus.

Crypto-asset trading involves significant risk and price volatility. This announcement is for informational purposes and is not financial advice.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

INK distribution begins this week.

🗓️ Phase 1: Friday, September 18, 2026, at 18:00 UTC

How the distribution works

- INK will be distributed in 3 phases. Phase 1 allocates approximately one-third (33.34%) of your verified INK balance, before the processing fee. The dates for Phases 2 and 3 will be announced in advance.

- Distribution is automatic. INK will be sent directly to the BSC (BEP-20) wallet address saved in your cPen app. There is nothing to claim and no wallet to connect.

- Processing all eligible accounts may take several hours. Your INK may arrive at any point during that period.

- A 5% processing fee will be deducted from the amount distributed in each phase.

- If you joined INK Lock, your Phase 1 portion will not be sent now. Its lock period begins on September 18, and it will be distributed when your selected lock term ends, together with the applicable lock bonus.

Official INK token contract on BSC:

0xCe22bBCaa12cA5fF3e163D5D32A425723B2d2F4c

You can add this contract to your wallet as a custom token to view your INK after it arrives. Always verify the complete contract address before adding or interacting with a token.

Why is my amount lower than what I earned?

The distribution is based on your verified INK, not your total earned.

Open Wallet → INK to see the breakdown by category. Mining, ad, task, streak and welcome rewards are verified in full.

The usual difference is referral rewards: they count only for referred users who completed KYC and liveness verification, and the referral mining bonus also depends on your own activity rate.

Check and lock your wallet address now

Open the cPen app, version 1.3.25 or later, then go to Wallet → INK.

✅ Use a self-custody BSC wallet for which you hold the keys, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.

❌ Do not use an exchange deposit address. INK is not listed on any centralized exchange, and tokens sent to an unsupported exchange address may be permanently lost.

🔒 Once you have confirmed that your address is correct, lock it in the app.

Stay safe

There is no claim website, form or wallet connection for this distribution.

Anyone asking you to claim INK through a link, connect your wallet, share your recovery phrase or send funds is attempting to scam you. We never DM first. Verify information through our official X account and announcements inside the cPen app.

Thank you for mining, completing verification and waiting with us. The first phase of INK distribution is almost here. 🖋️

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

Personal days are now live for $HATN mining! Our updated attendance policy takes effect September 15, 2026 (UTC). Here’s how it works.

🛡 Personal days (new)

Receive up to 3 personal days per calendar year, granted on your first mining claim or first HATN earning of the year.

The allowance is prorated based on the days remaining and rounded up to a whole day. For example, 0.12 rounds up to 1 personal day.

For 2026, you can receive 1 personal day because the feature starts on September 15.

With automatic cover enabled, an available personal day covers a missed mining day:

• Your streak is protected.
• No missed-day deduction applies.
• HATN equal to one basic claim is credited to your in-app balance.

Unused personal days expire at year-end, do not carry over, and cannot be cashed out.

🏖 Vacation days

Each basic or bonus claim adds 0.02 of a vacation day. That means 50 claims earn 1 full vacation day.

With automatic cover enabled, once your personal days are used up, an available full vacation day covers a missed day with the same benefits: streak protection, no missed-day deduction, and HATN equal to one basic claim.

🎉 Community holidays

We currently have two cPen Network community holidays:

• New Year’s Day: January 1
• Attention Day: October 24

To qualify for holiday benefits, the preceding UTC day must have a basic mining claim or be covered by a personal day, vacation day, or eligible holiday protection. Consecutive protected holidays qualify one another.

For the upcoming Attention Day on October 24, you qualify if you make a basic claim on October 23 or that day is covered by a personal or vacation day.

If eligible:

• Every mining claim you make on the holiday earns 2× its usual HATN reward.
• If you skip the holiday, your streak is protected and no missed-day deduction applies. No HATN is credited, and no personal or vacation day is used.

🗓 One basic claim a day keeps your streak

A mining day follows UTC. Your basic claim maintains your streak; bonus claims add rewards without being required to maintain it.

⚠️ Missed days without protection

If you miss a day without coverage or eligible holiday protection, your streak resets and a daily deduction applies to your in-app HATN balance:

• Days 1–7: 2.5 HATN per day
• Days 8–14: 5 HATN per day
• Days 15–21: 10 HATN per day

The daily deduction continues doubling after every 7 consecutive uncovered missed days.

A basic claim, a covered day, or a protected holiday resets this count. Your balance never falls below zero.

📌 HATN earned from tasks, ads, or referrals does not count as a mining claim. Tap Mine to make your daily basic claim.

Read the full policy: cPen Network Terms & Conditions: https://t.co/XBq98r9UV3

📣 INK distribution is coming soon

Phased INK distribution will begin soon. Please check that you have correctly added your self-custody BSC (BEP-20) wallet address in the cPen app. Use a wallet where you control the private keys. Do not use a centralized exchange (CEX) deposit address.

Thanks for your continued support.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

✅ INK Verification Is Complete. Your Result Is Now Available.

The INK verification process is complete, and your final verification result is now available in the cPen app.

🔍 How to check your result

1️⃣ Update to the latest available version (1.3.25+).
2️⃣ Open Wallet and tap the INK row.

There, you can view:

• Your verified INK balance
• A breakdown by earning category
• Your INK Lock & Earn status, if applicable
• Your distribution phase information

⚠️ Important: Check your wallet address

Your INK will be distributed on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to the wallet address saved in your cPen app.

Before distribution begins, please carefully verify that the address is correct.

✅ Use a compatible self-custody wallet where you control the wallet.

❌ Do not use a centralized-exchange deposit address. An exchange may not support or credit the distributed INK, and cPen cannot recover tokens after they have been sent to the address you provided.

🔒 Lock your wallet address after checking it.

Once you have confirmed that your address is correct, you can lock your wallet address in the app. A locked address requires additional verification before it can be changed, helping protect against unauthorized wallet-address changes.

🚀 What happens next

We are now preparing the phased INK distribution.

Each distribution phase will be announced before it begins. No manual claim is required: when your distribution phase begins, your INK will be sent automatically to the wallet address saved in your app.

Please take a moment to check your verification result and wallet address now.

Thank you for completing verification, for your patience throughout the process, and for being part of the INK journey.

[cPen Network @cPenCoreTeam]

To every #cPenNetwork community member affected by the BitMart situation:

Since BitMart announced its wind-down, we have asked the exchange, privately and publicly, to lower both the CPEN withdrawal fee and the minimum, while also processing pending withdrawals. So far, we have received no response to our requests.

BitMart has since announced that it is developing a potential restructuring and business-resumption plan as an alternative to a full wind-down. The outcome remains uncertain, and BitMart says it expects to provide another update by September 9.

We know how difficult these past weeks have been for affected CPEN holders: high withdrawal requirements, pending withdrawals, and uncertainty about what happens next.

We have been considering what cPen can do from our side to help.

After careful consideration, we have made a decision.

Our plan does not depend on BitMart.

Our commitment

Eligible cPen users whose 2025 CPEN distribution was sent to a BitMart deposit address and who were affected by BitMart's wind-down or restructuring process will receive a one-time goodwill HATN credit from cPen.

The program is intended to address two situations:

• CPEN from the 2025 distribution that users were unable to practically recover from BitMart

• High CPEN withdrawal fees incurred during the wind-down process

The goodwill credit will be provided in HATN, subject to a per-user cap.

The calculation method, conversion rate, cap, eligibility rules, and other program terms will be announced together before applications open.

How it will work

We are developing a simple in-app application process.

The process will be free and handled directly through the official cPen app. Eligibility will be verified using cPen's records and other available information under the final program rules.

There will be no application fee, and we will never ask you to pay anyone to participate.

We expect to publish the full program terms and application instructions in September or October.

Important

This is a one-time, voluntary goodwill program.

BitMart is an independent platform. cPen is not responsible for BitMart's business decisions, withdrawal policies, fees, processing times, or assets held on its platform.

This program does not change that responsibility. It is something we have voluntarily chosen to do to support affected members of our community.

The program is independent of BitMart.

Any goodwill HATN credit provided by cPen will be separate from the BitMart restructuring or withdrawal process. Further details regarding the treatment of any later BitMart recovery will be included in the final program terms.

Please keep your BitMart records and support tickets, including dates, amounts, transaction records, and ticket numbers. They may be important if BitMart requests evidence as part of its withdrawal or restructuring process.

HATN credited through this program will be subject to the applicable HATN rules and the final terms of the program.

Stay safe

The cPen team never sends private messages asking for funds, passwords, seed phrases, private keys, or verification codes.

Anyone privately offering to "recover" your BitMart funds on behalf of cPen is not representing us.

Please rely only on official cPen Network accounts and announcements inside the cPen app.

We cannot control what happens at BitMart.

But where there is something we can reasonably do from our side to support our community, we will do our best to do it.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

With HATN mining now underway, we are moving into the final stage of the INK process.

INK balance verification is now underway, and phased INK distribution is expected to begin around mid-September, following completion of the verification process.

Before distribution begins, please make sure your wallet address is correct:

- Open the cPen app and go to the Wallet page.

- Check your BSC wallet address. It must be a self-custody wallet — a wallet where you control the private keys, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.

- Do not use a centralized exchange (CEX) deposit address. INK will not be listed on a centralized exchange at launch. INK sent to an unsupported exchange deposit address may not be credited or recoverable.

- Once you have confirmed that your address is correct, we strongly recommend that you lock your wallet address in the app. A locked wallet address cannot be changed without verification, adding another layer of protection if someone gains unauthorized access to your account.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

cPen Team
A small team with a big dream

[cPen Network @cPenCoreTeam]

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.

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,

⏰ Reminder: INK KYC, Liveness & Lock Deadline

The deadline to complete KYC and Liveness verification for the INK distribution is:

📅 August 13, 2026
⏰ 23:59:59 UTC

Please make sure you complete KYC / Liveness verification before the deadline.

🔒 INK Lock Selection

The INK Lock selection will also close at the same time.

Before the deadline, you can:
• Choose an INK Lock option
• Change your existing Lock selection
• Cancel your Lock selection

After August 13 at 23:59:59 UTC, your final Lock choice will be fixed and can no longer be changed or cancelled.

INK Lock is optional. If you do not select a Lock option, your verified INK will follow the regular distribution process.

🔎 What happens next?

After KYC and Liveness verification close:

1️⃣ The INK token verification process will begin.

2️⃣ After verification, the phased INK distribution will follow.

Please review your verification status and, if applicable, your INK Lock selection before the deadline.

Thank you for your continued support!

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,

⚠️ Important notice for community members who hold CPEN on BitMart or have saved a BitMart deposit address in the cPen app

On July 26, 2026, BitMart announced that it had begun an orderly wind-down of its trading-platform operations.

This is BitMart’s independent business decision and is unrelated to cPen. However, some community members currently hold CPEN on BitMart or registered a BitMart deposit address with us, so please read this announcement carefully.

Official BitMart notice:
https://t.co/b5bHcOQxqx

Key dates

All times are UTC:

• July 26, 2026, 01:30: BitMart began gradually suspending cryptocurrency and fiat deposits, new-user registrations, and new trading orders.

• August 26, 2026, 01:00: All spot, futures, and other trading services will end.

• August 26, 2026, 05:00: BitMart’s recommended deadline for submitting withdrawal requests.

• January 31, 2027, 15:59: BitMart plans to cease its trading-platform operations.

January 31 is not currently stated as the final withdrawal deadline. BitMart says users will retain limited account access for a specified period afterward to review records and submit withdrawal requests under the procedures in effect at that time.

However, requests submitted after the recommended August 26 timeframe will enter a separate processing procedure and may require additional documentation.

Please do not wait until the last minute.

BitMart warns that withdrawals may be delayed by identity verification, account-security checks, source-of-funds reviews, sanctions screening, blockchain congestion, or high withdrawal volume.

Is CPEN affected?

The CPEN token itself is not affected.

The CPEN token contract, PancakeSwap liquidity pool, cPen app, and ongoing buyback program continue operating as before.

Nothing about CPEN itself changes because a centralized exchange is winding down. The change is that BitMart will eventually no longer be a place where CPEN can be traded or held.

Why is CPEN priced much lower on BitMart?

As BitMart’s deposit and trading restrictions take effect, its CPEN market is becoming increasingly isolated from the broader market.

Reduced liquidity, limits on incoming assets and new orders, and uncertainty surrounding withdrawals can cause prices on a closing platform to diverge significantly from prices elsewhere.

For an open, on-chain CPEN price reference, community members can check PancakeSwap on BNB Smart Chain.

If you hold CPEN on BitMart

You generally have two possible options, depending on which BitMart services remain available to your account.

Please understand both before acting. This information is provided for awareness and is not financial advice.

Option 1: Withdraw your CPEN to a self-custody wallet

This allows you to keep your CPEN instead of selling it at BitMart’s currently discounted price.

Before confirming a withdrawal:

• Confirm that CPEN withdrawals are currently available
• Select BNB Smart Chain/BEP-20 if BitMart shows that network
• Use a compatible self-custody wallet, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet
• Make sure the sending and receiving networks match
• Carefully verify the complete destination address
• Review the withdrawal fee and minimum withdrawal amount

Withdrawal availability, fees, processing times, and compliance reviews are controlled entirely by BitMart.

Option 2: Sell on BitMart where new orders remain available

BitMart is gradually suspending new spot orders, so this option may not remain available for every market throughout the wind-down period.

Where trading is still available, you may choose to sell before all trading services end on August 26 at 01:00 UTC, and then withdraw the resulting asset.

Please be aware that you would be accepting the price available on BitMart. At the time of the post, that price was approximately 42% below the PancakeSwap price.

Whatever you decide, BitMart recommends submitting withdrawal requests before August 26 at 05:00 UTC.

Update exchange deposit addresses in the cPen app now

⚠️ If the BSC wallet address saved in your cPen app is a BitMart deposit address, or a deposit address from any centralized exchange, please replace it as soon as possible.

The wallet address saved in the cPen app will be used for future token distributions, including the upcoming INK distribution.

BitMart has begun gradually suspending deposits. It warns that assets deposited after the applicable deposit service has been suspended may not be automatically credited.

How to update your address

1️⃣ Create or open a self-custody wallet, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.

2️⃣ Select BNB Smart Chain and copy your wallet address beginning with 0x.

3️⃣ Open the cPen app and go to the Wallet page.

4️⃣ Replace the exchange deposit address with your self-custody address.

5️⃣ Double-check the complete address before saving.

Please update your address now rather than waiting for the INK distribution.

As previously announced, INK will not be listed on any centralized exchange.

Never use an exchange deposit address for the INK distribution. Use only a compatible self-custody wallet where you control the private keys.

Did the BitMart announcement affect the CPEN price on PancakeSwap?

It appears to have contributed, yes.

The PancakeSwap chart shows a significant price decline following BitMart’s wind-down announcement. This suggests that the announcement and the market’s reaction to it created additional uncertainty and selling pressure across the broader CPEN market.

Simply withdrawing CPEN from BitMart to a self-custody wallet does not affect the PancakeSwap price.

However, when withdrawn CPEN is subsequently sold on PancakeSwap, those sales add direct sell pressure to the on-chain market. Other holders may also sell in reaction to the BitMart news, even if they do not use BitMart themselves.

Based on the timing of the price movement, we believe the BitMart announcement was a contributing factor. However, we cannot confirm that it was the only cause or determine exactly how much of the decline resulted from it.

The amount of CPEN held on BitMart is limited, but we cannot predict how long the market impact will last or how prices will move.

Nothing has changed with the CPEN smart contract, PancakeSwap liquidity pool, cPen app, or ongoing buyback program.

We cannot and will not make price predictions. What we can confirm is that the cPen project and its programs continue operating as before.

Stay safe; scammers target exchange shutdowns

Exchange closures commonly lead to fake “migration,” “recovery,” “compensation,” and “priority withdrawal” scams.

• The cPen team will never DM you first.

• We will never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, passwords, authentication codes, or a “verification deposit.”

• There is no special CPEN migration, compensation wallet, or paid recovery service.

• For information about cPen, CPEN, or the INK distribution, trust only official cPen accounts and announcements inside the cPen app.

• For BitMart balances and withdrawals, begin only from https://t.co/0UckP4tKtW or the official BitMart app.

• BitMart says it does not offer paid priority withdrawals or expedited processing channels and will never ask for private keys, recovery phrases, passwords, or authentication codes.

Please protect your assets, verify every address and network carefully, and take action early.
