The new project that is now a direct rival to the biggest online encyclopedia out there, Wikipedia, has officially introduced its long-anticipated online encyclopedia that uses the EOS.IO technology which rewards users with crypto tokens for providing and editing articles.
Named Everipedia, this encyclopedia bills itself as “the online encyclopedia reinvented for the modern age” and with this democratizes the entire encyclopedia online model. It also offers incentives to content providers in a rewards system that is designed to provide a more inclusive and fully-autonomous encyclopedia without any ads or donations.
As the CIO of Everipedia, Dr. Larry Sanger stated:
“We are elated to release our minimum viable network which allows users to vote on and create articles in a decentralized manner for the first time.”
What’s interesting is that Sanger co-founded Wikipedia – but is now confident in the rival as a brand new way to make most of the blockchain technology in the existing ‘online encyclopedia’ model. According to him, the blockchain is meant to “disrupt online information.”
Every user who wants to contribute to Everipedia needs an EOS account and IQ tokens to create content and vote on iqnetwork.io .Everipedia also published data which shows that so far, 16.8 million IQ has been staked by users on the network.
With millions of unique monthly visitors and 6+ million encyclopedia articles, Everipedia is already a serious competitor of Wikipedia online. The site has millions of unique visits and more than 8,000 volunteers right now, coming from social networks such as Facebook, Reddit and Telegram.
