Our mission is to let creators tell their stories, without censorship. And blockchain is the technology that makes this possible.
The dApp stands for “Decentralized Application”. This is the blockchain or open ledger where all transactions and ownership records are processed and stored. The dApp is found at polygon.cryptocomics.com
All new comic “mints” and resales are processed and recorded by the dApp, or decentralized application. This is the software that tracks ownership, royalties, and other details of your books and art. We’re working hard to streamline this process so it is easier for users that aren’t as familiar with blockchain or decentralized applications.
Right now, all books and art are purchased using Matic, a cryptocurrency that runs on the Polygon blockchain. More ways to purchase will be added over time.
Matic is the currency used with the Polygon blockchain. You’ll need to purchase Matic and have some in your connected wallet to buy comics and art in the CryptoComics Marketplace. Soon, you’ll be able to make purchases using Ethereum or StacksNET credits.
To purchase Matic, you’ll need to use a currency exchange such as Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, Crypto.com, or Robinhood. Once you’ve purchased Matic, you can send it to your CryptoComics Wallet or use your browser wallet (such as MetaMask) to buy comics or art in the dApp.
To send Matic to your CryptoComics Wallet, just select your name in the top right corner of the dApp. 
This will allow you to see the wallet you have set up, or change to a different wallet. In the drop down, you will see a long address. 
Copy that address and send Matic from any currency exchange wallet that supports the Polygon Network to your CryptoComics wallet at that address. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SELECTED ONLY THAT ADDRESS. Sending to the wrong address will result in loss of assets. You will also want to check that you are sending funds over the Polygon Network, not sending Matic (sometimes wMatic or wrapped Matic) over the Ethereum Network. Wrapped Matic will not work in the CryptoComics dApp.
Under the Wallet drop down, select Switch Wallet. Then choose Browser Wallet. If you have the MetaMask extension in your browser, it should pop up to log in. Enter in the password to connect your account to the CryptoComics dApp. NOTE: Make sure you select Polygon Network in your MetaMask Wallet. You can do this by opening the extension in your browser, and selecting Polygon from the drop-down. If you do not have Polygon set up in your MetaMask, you can add it by clicking Add Network, or by following the instructions in the Network tab of the dApp.
Once you’ve set up your Wallet and have the appropriate funds, you can make a purchase by selecting the comic or art book. You can do this from the CryptoComics Marketplace, and clicking “Purchase on dApp”, which will redirect you to complete the purchase in the dApp. Or, you can search the dApp directly by clicking on the Listings tab to view available items.
Once you’ve selected the item you’d like to purchase, click on Buy New. Clicking this will take you to the purchase page for that item. On the purchase page, you can see the price with a USD approximate equivalent, the wallet ID the book will go to after purchase (the wallet you have connected), and the amount of money in your wallet. By clicking Buy New, you will purchase, or “mint”, a new copy of that item. It will now appear in your Collection, and in your Wallet.
NOTE: If the transaction fails, make sure you have enough Matic in your wallet. You will also want to check that the correct wallet is connected, and that you have Matic sent over the Polygon Network, not wMatic (wrapped Matic) sent over the Ethereum Network.
Click on your name in the top right corner. This will open up your Wallet. Select the button that says Switch, which will take you to the page to manage your Wallet. You can switch between the CryptoComics Wallet and Browser Wallet at any time.
NOTE: Your purchased items will be stored in the Wallet selected at the time of purchase. You can send items to other Wallets at your discretion. All items in your account’s connected Wallet(s) will be available to read in your collection in CryptoComics.
After you’ve purchased a comic in the dApp, you can read the comic by clicking View Content in the dApp and being redirected to CryptoComics, or by clicking on it in your collection in CryptoComics.
After creating an account in CryptoComics.com, use the Publish tab to start setting up your comic or art book. The publishing wizard will walk you through the process of uploading your comic, art, or novel. Once it is published, it will be approved by our team, and become available in the Marketplace for users to purchase as an NFT. Due to high demand, it may take several days or weeks for your book to be published to the blockchain. If you have a specific date you'd like to publish, we will do our best to work with you but cannot guarantee publication by a certain date. Contact us at support@cryptocomics.com.
Yes, you can sell any digital item such as art, novels, comics, or graphic novels in the Marketplace. You can also add audiovisual features such as soundtracks, videos, commentary, or animation to your book.
In your Dashboard, you can see a summary of recent sales. For more details or to withdraw your earnings from sales, you will need to log into the dApp and navigate to the Holdings tab. Here, you can withdraw your earnings.
To withdraw your earnings, you will need to log into the dApp website and click on Holdings. Here you will see any earnings you’ve made from royalties or other sales. Click the Withdraw button. Here you can choose where to send your funds. 
Be careful to only send funds to an address that you own! Sending funds to the wrong address could result in the permanent loss of those funds. You can send to your wallet in any currency exchange such as Coinbase or Robinhood that supports Matic to cash out in the currency of your choice (Such as USD). You can also send your earnings to any other Wallet that supports Matic in other marketplaces, or store it in your browser wallet.
You can join, participate in the community, and publish books without owning any cryptocurrency. To buy comics or withdraw your earnings, you will need to have a Wallet set up. Still have questions? Email support@cryptocomics.com and a member of our team will get back to you.
