What is Lunyr?
Lunyr is a decentralized knowledge base and peer-to-peer network built on the Ethereum blockchain. Its goal is to democratize access to knowledge and information by rewarding users with LUN tokens for contributing quality articles, reviews, edits, and commentary.
Unlike centralized platforms like Wikipedia, Lunyr has no central authority or ownership. Content is stored immutably on the blockchain, with ownership and editing privileges managed by the community through consensus mechanisms. This helps reduce biases, censorship, and inaccuracies in information.
Users must stake LUN tokens to participate in the peer review process for contributions. Quality contributions that pass peer review are rewarded with more LUN from the system. This incentive structure aims to attract experts to share verifiable information and achieve consensus on facts.
As a blockchain application, Lunyr also benefits from transparency, permanence of records, and elimination of intermediaries. Its long-term vision is to evolve into a reliable, community-governed knowledge base for high-quality information on any topic, from science and technology to history and culture.
