Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

The parts exist in prototypes; quiz-verified per-book credentials are an uncommon combination.

Closest things out there

Onchain Reads (EAS on Base) records books read, and Proof of Learning (ETHGlobal) issues soulbound NFTs after passing a quiz; none found combining per-book quizzes into a shelf.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

The pitch, ready

A shelf that proves you read: a short quiz from the chapters, then a seal anyone can check.

Problem: Saying you read widely is easy and impossible to check. Deep readers have no simple way to show which books they finished and understood.

Solution: An AI writes why and connect questions from the middle chapters. Pass, and a small attestation records the book fingerprint and score band, while answers and notes stay private.

Why now: Small models write good questions for a fraction of a cent, attestations on Base cost under a cent, and embedded wallets hide crypto from readers.

Market: Researchers, students and self taught readers, plus reading clubs, teachers, publishers and employers who value depth.

The ask: Pilot partners: two reading clubs and one university department, and grant funding from public goods rounds.

Funding is never guaranteed. Check each program's rules.

For hackathons and demo days

Your 2 minute demo

Home: meet Zara on her Kilimani balcony, book 28 of 30 just finished.
Quiz: answer three why and connect questions, flag one, hand it in.
Quiz: the seal lands, open the onchain receipt and the share card.
Shelf: hide a book, then send Dr. Yusuf a link with only chosen fields.
Sunday: answer an old question and earn a gold edge.
Me: upgrade to Reader Plus through the USDC checkout.
Owner Revenue and Rules: change a price, then raise the pass mark.
Owner Agent and Roadmap: run a skimmer test, then request v2.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The need

Saying you read widely is easy and impossible to check. Readers who go deep, like researchers, students and self taught people, have no simple way to show which books they actually finished and understood, and readers who want to keep going lack a light ritual that marks the end of a book.

What exists and what is new

Parts of this exist. Onchain Reads records books read as EAS attestations on Base, and Proof of Learning (an ETHGlobal project) issues soulbound NFTs after a quiz. Goodreads and StoryGraph track reading but on self report. What we did not find is the combination: a per book comprehension quiz written from the chapters, with a passed result sealed onto a public shelf. The idea is a rare combination, not a new primitive.

The data it runs on

Book metadata from an open catalogue (title, author, ISBN, chapter list). Chapter text or excerpts the reader supplies or the publisher licenses, used only to write questions. The reader's answers and score, kept in the app. Onchain: a book fingerprint, score band, date and question count per pass.

1.The mission

Make a reading life visible and honest, so depth counts for something.

2.Why people can't resist it

The seal at the last page Finishing a book gets a small ceremony: three questions, then a wax seal on the spine. It turns the end of a book into a moment.

A shelf you can send One link shows every sealed book. It answers 'you say you read a lot' without a speech.

Sunday recall One question from a book finished months ago. Get it right and the seal earns a gold edge. Memory becomes a streak.

3.How it works for real

Sign in and wallet: Email or passkey sign in with an embedded wallet (for example Privy) on Base, or a NEAR account. The reader never needs to hold crypto; the app sponsors gas.

Book lookup: Search by title or ISBN against an open catalogue such as Open Library. The ISBN is hashed into a book fingerprint so editions of the same work can be grouped.

Question writer: A mid tier model (for example a Claude Haiku or GPT mini class model through OpenRouter) writes why and connect questions anchored to two chapters far apart, quoting a line rather than a page. A cheaper check pass rejects questions a summary could answer.

Grading and retries: Multiple choice is graded locally. A fail returns a hint pointing at chapters and unlocks fresh questions after 3 days. No record is written on a fail.

Attestation: On pass, an EAS attestation on Base (or a NEAR contract call) records book fingerprint, score band, date and question count. Answers are never written onchain.

Shelf page and recall: A public or private shelf page reads attestations from an indexer. A weekly job picks one old book and sends a recall question by push or email.

4.Cost per use and pricing

Per quiz: roughly 3,000 input and 600 output tokens on a small model, about $0.001 to $0.003, plus one EAS attestation on Base, usually well under $0.01 in gas. Call it under $0.01 per sealed book. Example: 2,000 readers sealing 3 books a month is 6,000 quizzes, about $30 to $60 a month in model and gas, plus hosting. Prices change; check current model and gas rates before launch.

Reader Free

Up to 3 sealed books a month, public shelf link, Sunday recall.

Deep reader $4 a month

Unlimited seals, 5 and 8 question quizzes, private shelves, export of your shelf as a PDF for applications.

Club or classroom $29 a month

A reading circle or teacher sets the book, the pass mark and the deadline; members' seals roll up to a group shelf.

5.Growth loop

Every shared shelf link is an invitation: a recruiter, a friend or a teacher sees the seals and asks how. Reading clubs bring members in batches, and Sunday recall keeps readers coming back between books.

6.Risks and guardrails

Copyright: Do not store or display full book text. Use reader supplied excerpts or licensed text only to write questions, and quote at most a line per question.

Cheating: A determined person can read a detailed summary or ask a chatbot. Why and connect questions raise the bar but do not make cheating impossible. The seal means 'passed a comprehension check', nothing more.

Wrong questions: AI questions can be wrong or edition specific. Readers can flag a question; flagged questions are replaced and the attempt is not counted.

Privacy: A reading list can reveal health, faith or politics. Shelves default to private per book, and titles can be hidden while the count stays visible.

Overclaiming: Employers may overweight seals. The shelf page says plainly what a seal proves and what it does not.

8.Where this is going

Now
One reader, one shelf, a seal after each finished book.
Next
Reading circles and classrooms set shared books and see a group shelf.
Later
Libraries and publishers offer licensed question sets, and authors write a bonus question for their own books.
Far
Self taught people can show deep reading as credibly as a course certificate, and depth gets noticed wherever it comes from.

Why own Read Receipt

Read Receipt turns reading into proof: a short comprehension check after each book and a shelf of verified reads that lives on your own wallet. If you run it, the readers, the book clubs and the shelf data are yours, not a reading platform's that can change rules or close. Your deployment becomes the place your community proves what it knows.

What’s stopping you?

“I can't code.”

You do not need to. DEPLOYR deploys the app from your wallet and you run it from an admin screen: add books, set quiz length, invite readers. If something needs code later, that is what support and the service path are for.

“What if nobody cares about proving they read?”

Many people will not. Start with the ones who do: book clubs that want accountability, students, and job seekers in research or policy roles. Ten committed readers is a real start. If after a month nobody uses it, you have learned that cheaply.

“Can an AI quiz really prove understanding?”

Not perfectly. It proves someone answered questions about the book at a point in time. Be honest about that on your site. Let clubs add their own questions to make it stronger.

“Is it really mine?”

Yes. The contract is deployed from your wallet, the payments go to your wallet, and you can verify both on a block explorer. DEPLOYR does not take a cut of your users' payments.

“Are there copyright issues with quizzing on books?”

Quizzes ask about a book, they do not reproduce it. Do not paste chapters or long passages into questions. If you work with a publisher, ask them in writing what they are comfortable with.

The million-dollar ladder

Readers pay a small monthly fee for unlimited verified reads and a public shelf; book clubs, schools and teams pay a group plan to run shared reading goals. Hitting about $1M a year is a target to aim at, not a promise, and most owners will land well below it.
