LPS-1 — On-Chain Literary Provenance Standard
3 books, 60 stories, 75,000+ words anchored on Polygon Mainnet with SHA-256 hashing, Merkle trees, and 7 verified smart contracts.
XXXIII is a cryptographic publishing protocol (LPS-1) that anchors literary works on-chain with full provenance. Three works by Kidd James — The 2,500 Donkeys (31-chapter novel), Private Placement Programs (14 interconnected stories), and Crypto War Room (15 AI-narrated stories) — are deployed on Polygon Mainnet with every paragraph SHA-256 hashed, 6 Merkle trees built per content type, and 293 tests passing across 2 verification suites. Cross-chain timestamps via Bitcoin OpenTimestamps and IPFS content addressing provide multi-layer provenance. Non-upgradeable contracts with no admin keys ensure immutability. The protocol is MIT-licensed and open for any author to fork and deploy.
