Launch Your Audiobook →Two ways to launch your audiobook
NFT-Gated Access
NFT acts as an access pass to your audiobook. Simple, straightforward, no revenue sharing complexity.
Example: Hero's Metaverse Adventure, The Gobs Lore
Best for: Creators who want simple access control
Tokenized IP
NFT holders own a fixed % of your IP and earn from all revenue streams. Listeners become stakeholders in your success.
Example: King Rat (37.5% IP to community)
Best for: Creators who want to share upside with early backers
Both models let you pre-sell, skip traditional publishers, and keep creative control. You choose what fits your project.

Common Questions
For Creators
How much does it cost to launch?
Production ranges from $8K-$15K for full service (recording, editing, mastering). We also take 7.5% of your NFT sales. Or bring your own audio and just pay the 7.5% launch fee.
Do I need a lawyer for tokenized IP?
We recommend legal review for tokenized IP models since you're sharing actual ownership. For NFT-gated access (no revenue sharing), standard terms of service are usually sufficient.
Can I still publish on Audible?
Yes! Many creators launch on DIXO first (capture early value), then release on traditional platforms 3-6 months later for wider reach.
Why Base blockchain?
Base offers low fees (pennies per transaction), fast speeds, and is backed by Coinbase for mainstream adoption. It's the easiest blockchain for both creators and listeners who are new to Web3.
For Collectors
How do I buy an NFT audiobook?
Download the Base App (link in our header), add some ETH, and you're ready to mint. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. Once you own the NFT, you can access your audiobook through the app.
Is the Base App hard to use?
Not at all. The Base App is designed for everyone—even if you've never used crypto before. It's as simple as setting up Venmo or Cash App. Click 'Get Base App' in our header to start.
How do I earn from IP revenue?
For tokenized IP audiobooks (like King Rat), revenue is distributed automatically via smart contract. You'll see earnings in your wallet based on your ownership percentage.
Can I resell my NFT?
Yes! NFTs can be traded on OpenSea or other NFT marketplaces. The creator typically earns a small royalty (5-10%) on secondary sales.
Want to launch your own audiobook?
Pre-sell with NFTs, share IP with listeners, and keep creative control.
