Everipedia is building an encyclopedia based on blockchain technology. It plans to improve and expand its IQ ecosystem in several major phases. Everipedia launched its initial blockchain network in August 2018. This allowed users to start staking out IQ tokens and receiving awards for editing and editing items. Although the original launch of the network has been successful, improvements will enable the Everipedia global community to grow on a much larger scale.
"Everipedia is the encyclopedia of everything for everyone,"He declared the managing director of Everipedia and the co-founder Theodor Forselius."From day one, our goal was to make a platform accessible to everyone. The new user interface will set a new precedent for how dapps can bring blockchain technology beyond the sphere of blockchain enthusiasts and masses."
Improvements for Everipedia
The improvements and expansions that Everipedia has announced that it will provide include:
- a new user interface
- importing Wikipedia articles into other languages
- improved language support
- team expansion.
Expansion will begin with the launch of its new user interface. This aims to improve the user's experience, thus widening the appeal of the mass market adoption platform. While Everipedia believes that its current registration process is simple for technology and blockchain enthusiasts, its goal with the new platform is to provide a better user experience that emphasizes normal Internet users and publishers of traditional encyclopaedias. .
Everipedia has already completed the importation of Korean and Mandarin Wikipedia content. It will go on to add:
The new platform has undergone important updates to increase linguistic support. This should put its resources in a stronger position before the official launch of Everipedia in new countries and languages.
Contrary to most of the blockchain space projects that lay off staff due to market conditions, Everipedia is increasing the size of the team in Santa Monica, Stockholm, China and Korea. This expansion includes a considerable addition to the developer team with three new full-stack developers and two new front-end developers.
"With the main user bases in regions like China, Korea, Latin America and Russia, we are excited to integrate language support in these regions to further expand Everipedia. With the new updated platform we intend to make Everipedia a global movement."Said Travis Moore, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Everipedia.
Expansion of the IQ ecosystem with new developments under development
Everipedia is also expanding its IQ network over the blockchain encyclopedia through new things that are being developed. To do this, Everipedia uses internal resources and provides the necessary funds to the other teams that develop themselves using the IQ token.
Some examples of developing apps include:
- a forecast market
- an oracle service
- a fact on a chain
- an alternative quora using blockchain technology.
"The development of new apps based on the IQ token is the next step towards the true creation of a decentralized consumer network around a single token", Said the president of Everipedia and co-founder Sam Kazemian"We are excited to create these apps using EOSIO technology and increase the value and utility of the IQ token together with it."
The Everipedia platform and the logic of the blockchain
Everipedia has built its implementation on the EOS.IO blockchain. Justifies the decision to incorporate blockchain technology on the aspiration that Everipedia becomes a peer knowledge base – an encyclopedia owned and hosted by the same community rather than a central organization.
Because Everipedia exists on a peer-to-peer basis, via IPFS, it becomes practically "non-censurable" by those alien regimes that try to rewrite or censor sites like Wikipedia. The added value comes from the ability of Everipedia users to earn rewards to contribute and take care of content in the form of IQ tokens. The idea is that this allows users to govern the knowledge base.
Information on Everipedia International
Originally started in 2015 – from Theodor Forselius, Sam Kazemian, Travis Moore and Mahbod Moghadam – as a more modern and inclusive alternative to Wikipedia, Everipedia is:
- build a peer-to-peer encyclopedia on a blockchain
- Encourage content creators, turning them into stakeholders in the knowledge base itself.
The official mission of Everipedia is to modernize, consolidate and decentralize the governance of an online encyclopedia. They aim to do this:
- allowing greater editorial decision making in the editing process
- while allowing for greater breadth and scope of content from traditional encyclopedia websites (eg Wikipedia).
Part of the Everipedia alternative was to import all Wikipedia content on its platform. This laid the foundation for people to add content to these pages that would not necessarily be accepted on the Wikipedia platform, such as links to their websites and social media accounts.
Moreover, users of Everipedia can create additional pages for people, organizations and other subjects not on Wikipedia. His inspiration comes from the blog post of Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham of 2008 entitled "Startup Ideas We & # 39; d Like Fund". In his list of ideas, he asked for "more open alternatives to Wikipedia": "The delezionists govern Wikipedia. Ironically, they are limited by the thought of the era of the press. What's wrong with a reference online that has a long line of articles that are interesting only for a few people, as long as everyone can still find what they're looking for? There is room to do on Wikipedia what Wikipedia has done to Britannica."
Enterprise Times: what does this mean?
Do we need another Wikepaia? What is the value of an alternative resource similar to Wikipdia based on blockchain technology? This is not clear (which does not mean that there are no advantages, for example by providing contributors / participants with some form of reward, even if in the form of a token).
That said, Everipedia says it has millions of unique monthly users and over six million wiki articles. As such, everipedia.org believes that it has already surpassed English Wikipedia as the largest English encyclopedia in the world when measured by content.
This is a confusing area. With the ICO / the "market" of tokens being questioned and in freefall (at the time of writing), Everipedia can face more challenges related to its IQ ecosystem than to its information.
