Hi #cPenCommunity,
We’re updating our mainnet plan. 🌐
The cPen mainnet is planned to launch as the Human Attention Network, with $HATN as its native token.
💡 Why the change
Our research on labor and attention in the AI era shaped this direction. As AI performs more tasks and produces more content, we believe human attention will play an increasingly important role.
Human Attention Network reflects this vision more clearly than naming the network after our app.
📌 What this means for $CPEN
Under the updated plan, HATN will be used to pay network transaction fees. CPEN is no longer planned to serve as the network’s fee, staking or network-governance token.
We recognize that this is a big change, and we understand that some supporters will be disappointed.
We made this decision to align the network with its intended purpose. Our plans for CPEN now focus on uses within the cPen ecosystem, including the proposed DEX described below.
🔥 Mainnet rewards allocation to be burned
The 405,537,893.54 CPEN reserved under the 12% mainnet rewards allocation will be burned.
This allocation unlocks gradually under PinkLock lock #1308245 until approximately April 2030. We will withdraw tokens from this allocation only for burning and publish the withdrawal and burn transaction links.
No burn schedule has been set yet.
🔄 Planned DEX role for CPEN
We intend to build a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Human Attention Network, with CPEN as its official token.
CPEN’s specific functions within the DEX have not yet been finalized. We will publish those details as the design is developed.
📢 Broader ecosystem use
We plan to support CPEN alongside INK across the cPen ecosystem and will announce additional uses as they become available.
CPEN and INK remain part of the cPen buyback program. Buybacks and burns do not guarantee token value or market performance.
🛠 What’s next
• A public testnet is planned for 2027.
• Follow @HATNnetwork and visit https://t.co/0jFt0XQ7PB for network updates.
⚠️ HATN token safety
There is currently no official HATN token deployed on any blockchain. We are not running an on-chain HATN token claim, swap, migration, airdrop or token sale.
Any on-chain token presented as our HATN token at this time is unofficial.
Development plans and timelines may change. This post is a project update, not financial advice.
Thank you for your continued support.

Hi #cPenNetwork community,
🎉 Happy Attention Day!
Today is cPen’s first HATN mining holiday, celebrating an idea at the heart of everything we build: human attention matters.
In the AI era, machines can generate content, answers and code in seconds. But your attention remains limited. It’s personal, and you choose where to give it.
That’s why we celebrate Attention Day. It’s also why we’re mining HATN, the Human Attention Token: to recognize human attention and put it at the center of the cPen network.
🎁 Double HATN rewards today
If you made a basic claim on Oct 23 (UTC), every basic and bonus claim you make today earns 2× HATN.
The usual daily claim limit and cooldown still apply.
⏰ Claim before 00:00 UTC on Oct 25, when Attention Day ends.
Open the cPen app and claim today 👇

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,
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,
✅ 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.

A small team with a big dream
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
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.

A small team with a big dream
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.

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,
⏰ 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:
