About IQ (IQ)
IQ.wiki (formerly Everipedia) is an online, blockchain-based encyclopedia, oracle, and DeFi platform established on the EOS blockchain. IQ is noted for being a fork of Wikipedia, launched in 2015 to provide interactive engagers on its platform with information across topics and verified sources. The platform envisioned the Wikipedia mission merged with blockchain to decentralize and cryptocurrency to incentivize network participation.
IQ.wiki is a for-profit company established and headquartered in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA in 2014. The network not only provides knowledge as an online encyclopedia and specifically, a source for published articles and referenced information, but also financial markets, which empowers the DeFi operations made accessible on IQ.wiki. Platform users are introduced to DeFi protocols which include a prediction market called PredIQt, a money market referred to as PredIQt Earn, and also a synthetic asset platform called IQ Smart Assets.
IQ.wiki accomplishes its network goals by implementing a three-module system, distinguished as a token module, governance module and article submission module. Anyone can create articles to share with the network if it is well-sourced and neutral.
The governance module enables network participants to suggest edits to the network which need to be approved by other participants. The token module is responsible for making the required changes to the token balances of the addresses belonging to participants in the network. The article module serves as the component responsible for recommending edits to the information stored in the online database.
IQ.wiki launched on the EOS blockchain on August 9, 2018, shortly after introducing its cryptocurrency to the market in July after several fundraising efforts over the years leading up. Its native digital currency is known by its token ticker - $IQ. While the token was initially launched on the EOS blockchain, it is since available on BNB, Ethereum and Polygon. The current price of IQ (IQ) is updated and available in real-time on Binance.
