Vamos destacar suas diferenças e características.</p><p><strong>Tokens fungíveis</strong> são as principais criptomoedas, por exemplo, Bitcoin e Ethereum são ativos nativos, essenciais para o funcionamento de suas respectivas redes descentralizadas, enquanto outras são criadas a partir de plataformas de contrato inteligente pré-existentes, sendo a Ethereum a principal plataforma no momento.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ca34209d18e321a951e030fe520ba3e3c52928980021e625fcfcfc3c73963a38.png" alt="Fonte: https://medium.com/@dan_zaitsev/top-blockchains-to-develop-dapps-in-2022-21c5b30635f1" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">Fonte: https://medium.com/@dan_zaitsev/top-blockchains-to-develop-dapps-in-2022-21c5b30635f1</figcaption></figure><p>Além da Ethereum outras Blockchains concorrem no mercado de Web3 como soluções para desenvolvimento de <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://coinext.com.br/blog/o-que-sao-dapps">dApps</a>. Cada Blockchain apresenta pontos distintos em relação as três características que forma uma rede: descentralização, segurança e escalabilidade.</p><p>Ainda não temos uma tecnologia em Blockchain que atenda esses três itens de forma plena, e acredito que o mercado irá avançar para Blockchains especializadas conforme a necessidade do serviço.</p><p>Já os <strong>NFTs - Tokens Não Fungíveis</strong> são unidades únicas que podem ser usados para representar uma propriedade digital. Diferente dos tokens fungíveis (criptomoedas), os NFTs não são intercambiáveis. Cada NFT é único e só pode existir em uma carteira de cada vez. Contudo, pode ser transferido entre usuários e vendido, o que assegura a titularidade digital.</p><p>Além da arte, os NFTs também impactaram os mercados da música, jogos, eventos, entre outras categorias por permitirem novos modelos de monetização para os criadores e propriedade digitais para fãs e compradores desse token.</p><p>Entre 2020 e 2021 os jogos NFTs e Blockchain atraíram cerca de <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://gamedaily.biz/article/2227/report-2021-was-a-record-breaking-year-for-gaming-deals-drake-star">US$ 4 bilhões em investimentos</a>, na categoria de jogos <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://canaltech.com.br/games/o-que-sao-jogos-play-to-earn/">play-to-earn</a>.</p><p>Ainda não sabemos se os NFTs vão ter sucesso nessa categoria de jogos, mas, com o aumento de investimentos em inciativas Web3 e considerando o abrangência de uso da propriedade digital e certificado de autenticidade viabilizada através dos NFTs, a adesão a esses tokens deve continuar a crescer nos próximos anos.</p><p>Marketplaces de NFT fomentaram o mercado permitindo aos usuários criar (mintar) NFTs de graça, só gerando o registro na blockchain quando alguém realizar a compra. Conhecido pelo termos “lazy mint” (cunhagem preguiçosa) evita o pagamento da taxa na blockchain (gas) no momento da criação.</p><p>Para entender mais sobre como funciona uma Blockchain leia essa artigo <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://mirror.xyz/0x8A86d40E449Fecf1C0daF52CF73193D0eB05f703/N0xvPdyYdNMLnPdwxtwLKKJAyM4sfy0O_Hw_Sv80tGo">O que é a Blockchain e como ela pode impactar a forma como interagimos com o mundo</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Blockchain é um tipo de tecnologia de <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raz%C3%A3o_(contabilidade)">livro razão</a> descentralizado, geralmente público, que pode ser entendido como uma base de dados aberta e distribuída. Como o nome em inglês sugere, ela usa uma série de blocos (&quot;block&quot;) ligados em uma cadeia (&quot;chain&quot;) por criptografia.</p><p>Embora a tecnologia da Blockchain ainda seja bastante nova, ela já começou a ter impacto na forma como interagimos com o mundo ao nosso redor. Uma das coisas mais importantes sobre esta nova tecnologia é que ela é descentralizada.</p><p>Uma Blockchain é mantida por uma rede de participantes (nós da rede) que chegam a um acordo sobre o status da rede (e transações realizadas) a partir de um mecanismo de consenso. Esse mecanismo diz respeito a como as redes estão seguras contra ataques e como os participantes chegaram a um acordo sobre um status para a rede.</p><p>Os tipos mais comuns são a prova de trabalho (PoW, do inglês proof-of-work), usado pela rede Bitcoin e atualmente pela Ethereum (julho de 2022), e a prova de participação (PoS, do inglês proof-of-stake), usada, em geral, por plataformas de contratos inteligentes. Os tokens nestas redes são distribuídos aos participantes para que cumpram seu papel em assegurar a rede pelo mecanismo de consenso.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/593dc457e479b2c4d6016c539c74d3dc554365ac950c9704394e1fb6361b9ac5.jpg" alt="Fonte: https://cmte.ieee.org/futuredirections/2022/03/09/proof-of-stake-a-game-changer/" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="">Fonte: https://cmte.ieee.org/futuredirections/2022/03/09/proof-of-stake-a-game-changer/</figcaption></figure><p>Em tradução livre da imagem:</p><p><strong>PoS (prova de participação)</strong>, proprietários dos tokens da rede devem guardar uma quantidade mínima para se tornarem validadores. O contrato inteligente da Blockchain seleciona quem irá validar a transação, incluir um novo bloco na rede e receber a recompensa.</p><p><strong>PoW (prova de trabalho)</strong>, neste sistema apenas o primeiro validor que conseguir resolver a transação poderá incluir o novo bloco na rede e receber a recompensa por ele.</p><p>Em relação ao custo de energia, enquanto PoW exige a utilização de hardwares especializados, com alta capacidade de processamento e gasto de energia, ainda há o fato da concorrência entre os validadores (mineradores), pois a cada transação apenas o primeiro a conseguir resolver é recompensado. Todos os demais que participaram gastaram tempo e processamento sem necessidade.</p><p>Já no mecanismo PoS não há utilização de equipamentos e o consenso é administrado pelo contrato intelidente através dos validadores, que são os usuários que possuem uma determinada quantidade do token travado na rede.</p><p>Por exemplo, no momento que publico esse artigo (julho de 2022) a rede Ethereum está em processo de migrar do mecanismo PoW para Pos. Para ser tornar um validador (nó da rede) do Etherium é preciso ter guardado na rede a quantidade mínima de 32 ETH, cerca de U$ 40 mil dólares (cotação de julho de 2022).</p><p>Deixando a especulação financeira de lado, a tecnologia Blockchain é base das criptomoedas e da Web3, sendo um novo tipo de estrutura de dados de back-end.</p><p>Essa nova arquitetura de dados teve origem em meados de 2009 (após a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.politize.com.br/crise-financeira-de-2008/">crise finaceira do mercado imobiliário</a> americado de 2008), o que alegam ser uma das motivações de <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto">Satoshi Nakamoto</a> – identidade utilizada pela pessoa (ou pessoas) que criaram o Bitcoin e a primeira Blockchain, com o objetivo de realizar transferências monetárias entre pessoas, sem intermediação de governos ou bancos, ou seja, um meio de pagamento digital e descentralizado.</p><p>Atualmente há centenas de criptoativos (muitos com sua própria blockchain), contudo o Bitcoin ainda é o principal deste mercado e o único a manter sua finalidade de moeda digital (mesmo não sendo concretizada ainda).</p><p>Apesar de polêmico, o Bitcoin, a cada ano que passa, aumenta sua adesão por empresas, governos e até instituições financeiras, especialmente, como reserva de valor, amenizando a perda da inflação das moedas governamentais (como o nosso real), o que “rendeu” o apelido de ouro digital ao Bitcoin.</p><p>Diferente do Bitcoin, algumas Blockchains são plataformas de contratos inteligentes. A pioneira nesse segmento e líder na quantidade de projetos desenvolvidos é a Ethereum.</p><p>Enquanto o Bitcoin é comparado ao ouro, o Ethereum pode ser comparado ao ferro, pois é matéria-prima para a construção de algo novo. Há centenas de projetos desenvolvidos sobre a plataforma de contratato inteligente da Ethereum.</p><p>Essas plataformas também são chamadas de &quot;redes de primeira camada&quot; e, além da Ethereum, outros projetos estão incluídos como Cardano, Solana, Avalanche, Luna, Tezos e mais. Os aplicativos criados nessas redes são conhecidos como aplicativos descentralizados (dApps).</p><p><strong>Outros dois movimentos aumentaram o interesse do mercado pelas criptomoedas: finanças descentralizadas (DeFi) e os tokens não fungíveis (NFTs).</strong></p><p>As DeFi são um conjunto de aplicativos que oferecem aos usuários um serviço de finanças descentralizadas, como empréstimo, crédito, derivados e outros a partir de criptomoedas baseadas em blockchain.</p><p>Confira <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://mirror.xyz/0x8A86d40E449Fecf1C0daF52CF73193D0eB05f703/KxI5YwDAl_NmBX_kKbk1xIc-cFhqRXEdCSxvLCDJkME">neste artigo mais detalhes sobre que são os NFTs</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

The past ten years have seen new habits, new devices, and new distribution channels influencing both. In this guide, I’ll give you tips and concepts to start a professionally-made digital publishing project.</p><p>As one of the primary means of producing designed content, Adobe InDesign has played an important role in the intersection between graphic and web design. In this article, you, the graphic designer, creative professional or student will learn how to start producing a digital publication, from InDesign.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/41cdf0aa87ba02be5e5ba3bcb9ae9da187ebced3f20ce521a180110eac01cd6e.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>To better understand the context that InDesign occupies in the segment of digital publications, I recommend reading this article: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="http://labs.dualpixel.com.br/evolucao-adobe-indesign">The Evolution of Adobe InDesign – from print to digital</a> (only in Portuguese).</p><h2 id="h-the-term-ebook" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">THE TERM EBOOK</h2><p>Before you start reading, I need to clarify the use of the term ebook in this article.</p><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-book">Wikipedia definition</a> says, “Digital book (electronic book or e-book anglicism) is any information content, similar to a book, in digital format, which can be read on electronic equipment.”</p><p>However, the term ebook is often associated with digital marketing and can be used as educational material to generate leads and build relationships with potential customers.</p><p>In this article, instead of ebook, I am using the term Digital Publication to serve not just books, but any kind of publication in EPUB3 and HTML5 format.</p><p>Even though Wikipedia (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_publishing">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_publishing</a>) begins by describing the term digital publication as a “concept that is difficult to define”, I believe that using a broader term is useful here.</p><h2 id="h-html5epub-3-formats" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">HTML5/EPUB 3 formats</h2><p>In this guide, I am considering the combination <strong>of InDesign</strong> and <strong>the </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://ajarproductions.com/pages/products/in5/"><strong>IN5 plug-in</strong></a> when I refer to the production of HTML5 publications. For the <strong>reflowable EPUB3,</strong> format I use the combination of InDesign and Sigil.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ebc0eab68cb27b89fdbd748fe27650a742a14918de65fdc3656559f175b00f39.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><h2 id="h-new-document" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">New document</h2><p>First step to start a project: new document. But, my dear <em>padawan</em>, don’t rush too much.</p><p>Start off with a briefing meeting with your team to figure out a few important details. Besides talking about the visual design, also talk to your customer about the distribution. Some critical questions include:</p><ul><li><p>Is there a printed version already?</p></li><li><p>Distribution for desktop, or mobile? Or both?</p></li><li><p>Will you need browser access or only digital bookstores?</p></li><li><p>Do you need offline access?</p></li></ul><p>We will go through each of these questions and understand how to create the document that meets the needs of the project.</p><h3 id="h-1-is-there-a-printed-version-already" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">1. Is there a printed version already?</h3><p>Well, if there is already a graphic design for print media, the most practical and quick way is to take advantage of this document by, if necessary, adding interactive features, such as: navigable summary, hyperlinks, multimedia, etc.</p><p>Production for HTML5 works well from the A4 format, for example, being able to switch between double pages on the desktop to single page on mobile. The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://youtu.be/glQ-Dk9XYMI">Mobile Article Explorer feature</a> complements this type of production well, as it ensures that the reading of the text is separate from the layout.</p><p>Regarding EPUB3, production from the printed version is still very common and usual practice. Another characteristic of reflowable EPUB 3, it is to be independent of the document format, that way you can create a document (if necessary) in the format you want.</p><h3 id="h-2-distribution-for-desktop-mobile-or-both" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">2. Distribution for desktop, mobile or both?</h3><p>For the HTML5 format there is no defined rule, but I can share good practices, based on my experience. However, keep in mind that the table below is just a starting point.</p><p>I strongly recommend that you analyze the characteristics of each project, perform tests and try out the best format for the combination of your message and the needs of your audience.</p><p><code>HTML5 Publications - Desktop</code> **Vertical **768×1024 px Classic iPad format works very well for more traditional designs that refer to a reading similar to the printed one.</p><p>**Horizontal **1024 x 768 px 1280 x 800 px Projects with the most digital appeal can opt for horizontal formats. The 16:9 (wide) aspect ratio shows a better use of monitors (1280 x 800 px).  </p><p><code>HTML5 Publications - Mobile</code></p><p>**Vertical **Despite the different formats and resolutions of the smartphones we managed to reach most of them keeping the 16:9 aspect ratio vertical. In InDesign, create a document in 320 x 568 px or 414 x 715 px format. (Read more in the Physical Pixel and Logical Pixel BOX).</p><p>**Horizontal **The production of publications in the horizontal format for mobile is not on my list of good practices.</p><p><code>HTML5 Publications - Both (desktop and mobile)</code></p><p>HTML5 publications produced from InDesign are not innately responsive. At most, they can be adaptive through the Alternate Layout feature.

In the table below, understand the differences between <strong>fixed, fluid, adaptive and responsive</strong> formats.</p><h3 id="h-fixed-vs-fluid-vs-adaptive-vs-responsive" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Fixed vs. Fluid vs. Adaptive vs. Responsive</h3><p>In this <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6MCkGWSXa0">efficient and didactic video</a>, learn the differences between these format concepts so common on the web, and important in digital publishing projects.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Fixed –</strong> fixed widths, without media queries (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp">https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp</a>)</p></li><li><p><strong>Fluid –</strong> relative widths, no media queries</p></li><li><p><strong>Adaptive –</strong> fixed and relative widths, with media queries by device or screen resolution</p></li><li><p><strong>Responsive –</strong> relative widths, with media queries for content and layout.</p></li></ul><h2 id="h-3-browser-access-or-digital-bookstores" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">3. Browser access or digital bookstores?</h2><p>If the project seeks to facilitate reading by allowing direct access by the browser (desktop and mobile) HTML5 is the most suitable format, since the EPUB 3 format, despite the efforts of the W3C, it is not (I think it will never be) compatible with current browsers.</p><p>Much of the EPUB3 format distribution is directly linked to proprietary platforms and devices, creating closed environments, true silos for content marketing (ebooks) and devices (ereaders).</p><h2 id="h-4-need-offline-access" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">4. Need offline access?</h2><p>To meet this requirement, you will need to produce a Kiosk App, capable of downloading the publication (HTML5, EPUB3 and PDF format) for later offline access.</p><p>Through browsers, this type of distribution is now viable by combining InDesign and IN5.
