Say Less · Read More

A social-literacy membership that turns reading into community capital.

How it works

BUY BRONZEVILLE — Buy books and goods from Bronzeville.

MINT BRONZECOIN UNITS (BZC-U) (PILOT) — Your reading and purchases earn non‑transferable program units (BZC-U). BZC-U have no cash value and are not currency or securities. Separately, membership revenue supports the Bronzeverse; $BZC (future payment token) is in development and not available here. (No offer here.)

BUILD THE BRONZEVERSE — BZC-U + memberships fund chapters and the bookstore node.

EXCHANGE VALUE (PROGRAM) — More members = more program value to allocate to authors, events, and spaces. Program value isn’t cash or currency; it’s our shared ability to deliver more for the community.
