In a time of universal deceit, seeking the truth is a revolutionary act.
Welcome to Knowledgecoin.
The foundational protocol for DeFacts: a novel AI community for the validation of ideas.
Six problems at the root of misinformation
Knowledgecoin addresses the six problems behind the misinformation, propaganda, and uncertainty in the world today.
Accountability
Who has a reliable record of making valid truth claims, and who has a history of false or invalid ones?
No gatekeepers of information
Is the raw data of the web tagged and indexed so you can find what you need without confusion, bias, or censorship from Big Tech?
Consistent definitions
Do we share a clear definition of a concept? If not, how do we translate between people who use the same words differently?
Valid logic
Are the concepts in a truth claim, or a set of claims, logically coherent, or do they contradict each other?
Valid reasoning
Even if a claim is coherent, does it contradict accepted knowledge, have the proper context, and engage properly with the evidence?
Immutable repository
Does the knowledge repository keep an indelible record of changes, so no stealth edits can occur in its history?
The ecosystem: an island of knowledge
Raw data arrives on the shore and is processed by the island’s industries until the final output is validated knowledge.
