Hi #cPenNetwork community,
The two questions we hear most right now are:
“When is the INK distribution?”
“Where will INK be listed?”
This post answers both — and explains the thinking behind our decisions, because we believe you deserve the reasoning, not just the conclusions.
TL;DR
- KYC + liveness verification has been extended to August 21, 23:59:59 UTC. Many of you asked for more time, and we heard you. This is the final deadline; there will be no further extension.
- Only accounts that complete KYC + liveness by the deadline will be eligible for their mined INK distribution. Completing KYC after it reopens later will not restore INK eligibility.
- After the window closes, we are targeting approximately 2 weeks for verification, followed by a phased INK distribution, targeted to begin around mid-September, depending on verification progress. We will work to begin as early as we responsibly can.
- INK will launch on PancakeSwap on BNB Chain. We are not pursuing a centralized exchange listing for launch.
- Our launch approach is built around four choices: DEX-first trading, the voluntary INK Lock program, phased distribution, and ecosystem support including buyback-and-burn and Burnchase.
What INK means to us
INK holds a special place in the cPen story, and we want to say this before talking about logistics.
INK mining had barely begun when the project entered the hardest periods we had ever faced.
The people mining INK at that time could have walked away. Instead, you stayed.
Through the INK season, we found our direction, put the larger ecosystem together, and rebuilt step by step. Your continued participation gave us the opportunity to keep building through that period.
INK carries that story.
This launch is our opportunity to treat it with the care it deserves.
Where INK will be listed, and why
INK will launch on PancakeSwap on BNB Chain, the same DEX where CPEN trades today.
We are not pursuing a centralized exchange listing for the INK launch.
We want to be transparent about why.
The CPEN centralized-exchange listing required significant funds and months of work. Looking back, we believe those resources could have been put to better use building the product and ecosystem.
The recent exchange wind-down also reinforced another consideration: when tokens are held on a centralized exchange, holders depend on that exchange's custody, operations, and withdrawal infrastructure.
With a DEX, users trade directly from self-custody wallets, and transactions can be verified on-chain. It also allows us to avoid significant centralized listing costs and focus our resources on building the ecosystem.
That does not mean DEX trading is risk-free. Crypto assets remain volatile, and DEX users should understand market, liquidity, smart-contract, wallet-security, and transaction risks.
One door remains open: if a genuine top-tier exchange opportunity appears in the future on terms that make sense for the project and community, we will consider it.
What we do not intend to do is spend heavily simply for the sake of having an exchange listing.
Launching INK carefully
We are long-term builders, and our priority is the utility and sustainability of the cPen ecosystem.
The CPEN experience also taught us that the structure of a token launch matters.
For INK, we are taking four deliberate steps:
1. DEX-first launch
INK will begin on PancakeSwap without a paid centralized-exchange listing.
This keeps more project resources available for development, infrastructure, and ecosystem programs.
2. INK Lock
The voluntary INK Lock election announced earlier has now closed.
Users who chose to lock their eligible INK will have their distributed INK subject to the lock period they selected, together with the applicable bonus terms.
These were voluntary choices made by users before distribution.
3. Phased distribution
INK will be distributed in phases rather than through one single distribution.
We will announce the schedule and details of each phase before it begins.
4. Ecosystem support
INK is planned to be supported alongside CPEN across the cPen ecosystem, including the buyback-and-burn program, Burnchase, and future ecosystem programs as they roll out.
Buyback-and-burn activity is part of the token ecosystem; it should not be understood as a guarantee of INK's market price or future value.
The timeline
Now → August 21, 23:59:59 UTC
KYC + liveness verification remains open.
We extended the deadline because many community members asked for additional time and we want eligible users to have a final opportunity to complete verification.
However, we need a fixed eligibility set before INK verification can begin.
August 21, 23:59:59 UTC is therefore the final deadline.
Accounts that have not completed both KYC and liveness by then will not be eligible for their mined INK distribution, and completing KYC after it reopens later will not restore that eligibility.
After the deadline → approximately 2 weeks
The INK verification process begins.
During this period we will confirm KYC and liveness status, verify mined INK balances, and perform the necessary anti-abuse checks.
We will work efficiently, but accuracy comes first.
Target: around mid-September
The phased INK distribution is targeted to begin, subject to completion of the verification process.
We will announce the distribution details and each phase before it starts.
After INK verification/distribution
KYC will reopen for users who need it for HATN and future cPen features.
Please understand the distinction:
Reopened KYC will not restore eligibility for mined INK from the completed INK mining period.
What you should do before August 21
1. Complete KYC + liveness verification
If you have not completed both, please do so before August 21, 23:59:59 UTC.
Do not leave it until the final hours.
If the liveness check is having difficulty:
- Update the cPen app to the latest official version.
- Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- If you can, try another phone; use a different brand. Phones from the same manufacturer often share the same issue.
- Use a well-lit environment and disable display filters or power-saving settings that may interfere with the camera.
2. Check your BSC wallet address
INK will be distributed to the eligible wallet address saved in your cPen account.
It must be a self-custody wallet where you control the keys, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
Do not use a centralized exchange deposit address.
Tokens sent to an incorrect or unsupported exchange address may be unrecoverable.
Once you have confirmed that your wallet address is correct, we recommend using the wallet lock feature if it is available to you.
The wallet lock adds an email-verification step before the saved address can be changed, providing additional protection for your distribution address.
3. Follow only official cPen channels
Important INK announcements will come from this account and through announcements inside the official cPen app.
⚠️ Stay safe
The official cPen INK contract address has not yet been published.
We will publish it through our official channels when the INK launch goes live.
Until then, any token claiming to be the official cPen INK token is not official.
After launch, always verify the contract address against our official channels before interacting with the token.
The cPen team will never DM you first and will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys.
Nobody can restore your INK eligibility, accelerate verification, or recover an expired eligibility deadline in exchange for payment.
What comes next
From here, you will see updates as each stage moves forward:
INK verification → distribution details → phased distribution → DEX launch
We will announce each step as it is ready.
INK miners stayed with this project through one of its hardest chapters.
Now it is our responsibility to carry INK through the next chapter carefully, transparently, and step by step.
Thank you for being here and for continuing this journey with us.
cPen Team
A small team with a big dream
@cPenCoreTeam@BitMartExchange I regrets using bitmart exchange for my hardly mined "Cpen" as receiving address for distribution.
Cpen core team, thank you for talking to them on our behalf
An Open Request to @BitMartExchange on Behalf of CPEN Holders
Since BitMart announced the wind-down of its trading platform on July 26, we have contacted BitMart privately about an issue affecting many CPEN holders. We have not received a response through that channel, so we are now asking publicly.
Here are the facts as of August 16, 2026:
1. CPEN trading is no longer practically available on BitMart. BitMart's CPEN market currently shows no active price or trading volume. For users who still hold CPEN on the platform, withdrawal is therefore the practical way to move their CPEN off BitMart.
2. The CPEN withdrawal fee and minimum are currently extremely high. As of August 16, BitMart shows a CPEN withdrawal fee and minimum of 16,689 CPEN. For many community members, the minimum is greater than their entire CPEN balance, meaning they cannot currently submit a CPEN withdrawal.
3. We are also concerned about withdrawal processing. Based on our review of the BitMart CPEN wallet we have been monitoring on BNB Smart Chain, we have observed no outgoing CPEN transfers since August 7, as of August 16.
BitMart Wallet address:
0xeACB50a28630a4C44a884158eE85cBc10d2B3F10
We have also received reports from community members whose CPEN withdrawal requests remain pending or whose support inquiries have not yet received a response.
4. We contacted BitMart's listing team on July 27, asking for the CPEN withdrawal fee and minimum to be reduced. As of August 16, we have not received a response through that channel.
Our requests to @BitMartExchange are simple:
1. Reduce the CPEN withdrawal fee and minimum.
Please set them at a level that gives holders with smaller balances a practical way to withdraw their CPEN during the wind-down.
2. Process pending CPEN withdrawals.
3. Respond to our outreach.
CPEN is a standard BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain. We are not aware of any CPEN-specific technical feature that requires unusual withdrawal handling.
If your team needs any technical information or assistance regarding CPEN, the cPen team is ready to respond promptly.
BitMart's July 26 wind-down announcement states that withdrawal services will remain available and recommends that users submit withdrawal requests before August 26, 2026 at 05:00 UTC.
For many CPEN holders, however, withdrawal is not practically available today because the withdrawal minimum exceeds their entire balance. At the same time, some community members are reporting pending withdrawals.
We respectfully ask @BitMartExchange to address these issues so CPEN holders have a practical opportunity to withdraw their tokens during the wind-down.
To the #cPenNetwork community:
If you have a pending CPEN withdrawal or an unresolved BitMart support case, keep your records, including the date, amount, withdrawal status, and support correspondence.
If you choose to share your experience in the replies, please keep it factual and respectful.
If your CPEN balance is below BitMart's withdrawal minimum and you do not already have a support ticket about the issue, consider submitting one through BitMart's official support channel so your case is on record. If you already have a ticket, please do not create duplicate tickets.
Before posting any screenshot, protect your personal information. Hide your name, email address, account ID, support ticket number, and any balances or other information you do not want made public.
⚠️ Please also watch for scammers.
Accounts may reply to this thread pretending to be BitMart or cPen support, or offering to "recover," "unlock," or "release" your funds.
The cPen team will never DM you first asking for account credentials, private keys, seed phrases, verification codes, or payment to recover your funds.
Report and ignore impersonators.
We hope @BitMartExchange will respond and help resolve this issue for the affected CPEN holders.
The cPen Team
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.

Roadmap features, timelines, rewards and availability are subject to development, testing, legal/regulatory review and regional availability.
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!

We are officially 79K strong!
The AIG family is growing faster than ever, and we couldn’t be more excited to have you all on this journey toward the future of banking and digital assets. The ecosystem is expanding, the community is thriving, and we’re just getting warmed up.
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.
