Our age can be called a digital era or the epoch of the internet. The days when we attended libraries, whether to read training materials or fiction, were long gone. The readers got multiple opportunities to receive the desired books even without leaving their homes with the arrival of the internet. Once we click few keys on our keyboards, we get all the necessary information within several minutes. The writers are also provided with unprecedented opportunities to become well-known and popular today. The book could gain its wide popularity just in one case far back as the last century. The written work was transferred to the publisher for a review, and if the review was a positive one, there was a chance for a book to be published and proposed on a sale. As soon as the book was sold, the publisher and the writer shared their profit.
Nowadays, thanks to the internet, the author can start his way to popularity through several ways:

He can create his own online-blog and publish his works there. As far as the blog is being filled with the content, it gains its popularity.
The author can publish his work in special resources for the beginners and get reviews and comments.
Nowadays not only fiction is popular, but also different articles devoted to certain topics and projects. Lots of authors write for their online pages different reviews and get rewards from the customers.

Gilgamesh is a blockchain startup, which attempts to follow that tendency and strives to create a platform uniting the authors with their readers, including those, who write resumes and reviews actively. Besides, the system is open for the editors, designers, marketers, and people of other creative professions. Anyone can post his works in the system, get reviews from users and find his buyers. An important detail of the project is that each of the Gilgamesh participants will be granted an opportunity to earn and be rewarded with GIL tokens. Thus, the author will be able to get income from his works sale, and an average user/reader will be rewarded with the bonuses for quality comments and reviews on system products. Gilgamesh allows to earn in several different ways:

The advertisement of all the services providers: authors and designers.
Commission fee for transactions execution between the authors and publishers.
Commission fee for transactions on books selling to the system users.

Besides, the authors will have unique opportunities to pay all the necessary services for book publishing with the GIL tokens they earned:
Book printing and publishing.
Advertisement and internet promotion.
Marketers, distributors, and lawyers services.

The development of the Gilgamesh platform is based on the Etherum blockchain and IPFS protocol. All the transactions and operations between the participants are totally secure thanks to the usage of smart-contracts. Gilgamesh system guarantees you safety and confidentiality of the contract when there is a transaction conducted between the author and reader. All the transactions on the platform are executed with the utilization of the GIL marker. That is a standard ERC20 marker based on the Etherum blockchain.
The team of the project:

Mahdi Pedram — the founder and developer of the Gilgamesh platform.
Atefeh Mosayebi — an experienced programmer and managing director.
Ali Rasekh — security expert and a developer in the field of blockchain.
