A viable version of the decentralized Internet encyclopedia Everipedia is now available for use.
A new competitor to Wikipedia announced the launch of its platform on Thursday, allowing users to start earning IQ tokens for adding or editing articles on the site. With these tokens, users can vote on network governance issues. In addition, Euripedia members can vote for or against the posting of quotes - a large number of "no" votes leads to the removal of the quote.
The developers of Everipedia expect that this platform model will ensure its independence from donations and advertising. At the same time, this will lead to greater decentralization and “uncensorability of the network” - the impossibility of blocking a resource by decision of government agencies of any state.
While Everipedia was previously available to anyone with an internet connection, the launch of the full version means the platform is moving from traditional web hosting to blockchain. The decentralized encyclopedia is built on the EOS blockchain.
The startup also boasts Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger as its chief information officer. In a statement, Sanger celebrated the discovery, saying: “We are thrilled to launch a minimum viable network that already allows users to create articles in a decentralized environment.”
