The mainnet for decentralized encyclopedia startup Everipedia, Wikipedia competitor is now live!
The blockchain-based Wikipedia competitor, Everipedia announced the launching on Thursday, enabling users to make its IQ tokens for editing or adding articles to the stage. These tokens, consequently, will allow users vote and participate on network governance problems.
Everipedia’s programmers hope this kind of model will make sure that the platform remains entirely independent of advertisements or donations. At precisely the exact same time, the push toward decentralization is targeted at creating the stage “uncensorable.”
While Everipedia was formerly available by anyone with an online link, the mainnet launch signifies that it will now go from a conventional Web hosting service into a blockchain using a new URL. This means, it’ll not just be accessible, but would also be secure and decentralized.
The platform is constructed on top of this EOS blockchain platform, together with Everipedia having transferred into the EOS network before this season.
Everipedia declared it would initially disperse its IQ tokens through an airdrop once EOS went. Any person who possessed EOS tokens could get IQ tokens, the startup stated in the moment. As reported by news publications, The startup especially boasts Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger as its chief information officer.
In a statement, Sanger commended the launch, stating “We’re about to launch our minimal workable network that lets users vote on and produce posts in a manner for the very first time.”
