Explained in the Arena

The whole of Praeco, in six moves

  1. 01

    Become a citizen

    Pick a name and Praeco forges you a Golden Relic - an ancient code that is your only key. It also mints a wallet, pre-loaded with test USDC. Login is name + relic, nothing else.

  2. 02

    Read a piece for a lepton

    Every article is sold by the read - about a cent. The toll leaves your wallet and reaches the writer in under a second, settled on Arc.

  3. 03

    Tip, like, subscribe

    Loved it? Leave a tip on top of the read. Tap the heart to like. Subscribe to follow a writer's new work - all free, all optional.

  4. 04

    Publish and earn

    Write a piece with the AI co-writer, set a per-read price, publish. Every read pays your wallet. Collaborators are paid by automatic splits.

  5. 05

    Send the agent to read for you

    Give the autonomous Reader-Agent a topic and a budget. It reads the catalogue, decides what to pay for, pays the writers itself, and briefs you.

  6. 06

    Wear your laurel

    Every read given or received earns renown. Renown raises your rank - Plebeian → Consul - and the laurel beside your name grows fuller.
