COMPARED TO BITCOIN

Unlike Bitcoin, which is not backed by gold or any real-world commodity (its value is determined purely by the free market), ©EON is backed by copyright—the intellectual property of artworks within its digital art gallery (CEAG). Indeed, ©EON represents art itself, with each coin reflecting the total value of all artworks divided by the number of issued coins.
Bitcoin is decentralised, whereas ©EON is initially managed by DesireHive, and will later transition to governance by an open community to ensure its long-term sustainability.
©EON is designed to offer greater stability than Bitcoin and features a built-in mechanism for steady, incremental value growth—backed by one of humanity’s most coveted and enduring assets since the Ice Age: art.

SELL US YOUR ART

With ©EON, we do not farm or mine new coins. One way to acquire ©EON is by trading artwork with the Copyrighteon Art Gallery (CEAG). The value of your art, expressed in ©EONs, is initially determined by the DesireHive team and later through open community auctions.
Contributing a new artwork to CEAG increases the gallery’s overall value by enriching its content—an inherent safeguard against inflation.

Selling your art is as simple as sending us a preview via our contact form and requesting a valuation. We accept high-quality photography and original video productions.

BUY ©EON and NFT

A fixed supply of 400,000 ©EONs is available. ©EONs are directly linked to shareholder equity, offering a profit-sharing option within the DesireHive company.
©EONs can be easily converted into NFTs, representing real ownership of individual artworks within the gallery. One NFT is equivalent to 11 ©EONs.

VALUE OF ©EON

Value is expected to rise gradually, depending on the proportion of company profit allocated to dividends.
©EON is backed by thousands of valuable artworks and videos within the CEAG. This collection comprises donations from DesireHive’s founders as well as fully copyright-acquired works from artists worldwide. DesireHive’s share of the gallery generated an average of approximately $3,000 per month in 2021, with consistent growth leading to revenues exceeding $300,000 in the whole year of 2024.

TRADE ©EON

You can trade ©EON with anyone worldwide simply by sharing a transaction ID.
To further support its use as a currency, we conduct monthly buybacks of many ©EON at 91% of their current value—resulting in a third-party margin of just 9% or less on your digital sales. (For comparison, most digital platforms such as Patreon or OnlyFans typically deduct 20–30%, in addition to currency conversion and processing fees.) The longer you HODL, the lower the effective margin. Plain and simple.
Exchanging Copyrighteons is as straightforward as trading a gift card—using an easy-to-use transaction code. It’s safe, anonymous, and entirely free of commission or fees. Just send the transfer code to your buyer or seller—and that's it!

©EON AS AN INVESTMENT

©©EON is an exceptional investment—not only because its value is designed to increase, offering protection against inflation, but also due to the attractive monthly dividends it provides.
Based on over 15 years of gallery operations and especially the revenue performance since 2023, we anticipate the value to grow at approximately 1% per year above the rate of inflation.

DIVIDENDS

©EON is the first cryptocurrency to generate monthly dividends automatically—simply through coin ownership. These dividends are funded by the income generated from the art gallery.
Dividends are calculated as the previous month's gallery income divided by the total number of available ©EONs. Plain and simple. This model also reflects a not-for-profit character for potential tax considerations—those who benefit from using the currency in business are naturally incentivised to retain a sufficient amount for themselves. A system owned by those who use it.

SAFETY

©EON is a secure cryptocurrency—safer than most others, as it is backed by real-world value rather than purely by market demand. While Bitcoin’s decentralised nature may be considered a security advantage, it also contributes to significantly higher volatility.
©EON is linked to your DesireHive user ID, making buying and selling both free and straightforward—while remaining as anonymous as an email address.
Trading in ©EON is completely private, as only the transaction ID is shared between buyer and seller.

©EON AND BLOCKCHAIN

As originally intended, in ©EON's case, blockchain is used to meta-stamp the art in its gallery. It means that attackers would have to request to download most of the art gallery, then download it (several terabytes), decrypt it and decode the proprietary data to discover who owns the particular coin. Availability of the archive itself is capped at around 2-4 days as it is stored encrypted on low availability cloud storage with few physical "write-only" backups. Even after all this effort, this would still only reveal who owns that particular coin, and would not change ownership or remove our copyright to the artwork itself.

Transactions themselves are completely private and not held in blockchain. Only the date of the transaction is stored, originating seller and buyer ID is discarded with the session.

FREE AND OPEN

Gallery incomes as well as all financial history is available for registered users already now.

INITIAL (PUBLIC) COIN OFFERING (ICO)

©EON was launched on 27th September 2021 at an initial value of $1.00 per coin.
The real-world performance has far surpassed our simulations and even our most optimistic projections!
