Mark Cuban, the well-known American entrepreneur and TV personality, is preparing to launch his book as a non-fungible token (NFT).
The book, titled “How to Win at the Sport of Business: If I Can Do It, You Can Do It,” will be minted on the Polygon blockchain and released through Book.io, a multi-chain Web3 marketplace that specializes in decentralized eBooks and Audiobooks.
In this book, Cuban shares his personal journey in business and life, chronicling his remarkable evolution from a powdered milk vendor and a humble guest on friends’ couches to a self-made entrepreneur who reached the pinnacle of success as a billionaire.
The decision to release the book as an NFT came after Mark Cuban mentioned the concept during an episode of the Bankless podcast and afterward connected with Book.io.
The release date for the NFT book is set for Tuesday, June 6, 2023. Interested buyers can purchase the book for 5 MATIC (approximately $5), and there will be a limited supply of 10,000 numbered eBooks, 385 unique cover designs, and 257 1:1 cover designs.
Once purchased, readers will be able to access the book using Book.io’s anonymous eReader decentralized application (dApp).
Book.io gained attention in October 2022 when it secured investment from Ingram Content Group and facilitated the sale of 2,746 NFTs of Joseph Nassise‘s book “The Heretic” within a mere 45 seconds.
Mark Cuban’s foray into releasing his book as an NFT follows a growing trend among prominent figures. Earlier this year, renowned artist Michael Winkelmann, also known as Beeple, introduced his first book, “Beeple: Everydays, the First 5000 Days,” as an NFT.
