About IQ.wiki
We use Blockchain Technology and Artificial Intelligence to scale crypto knowledge
IQ.wiki is the world's largest blockchain and cryptocurrency encyclopedia with thousands of wikis on all topics and branches of knowledge in the crypto space.
IQ.wiki’s mission
Our mission is to educate the world on Blockchain Technology
We are the primary source of objective, high-quality knowledge on the Internet today for everything related to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Our vision is to make blockchain more discoverable and accessible around the world and empower users with the information they can trust.
For full transparency, every edit on IQ.wiki is recorded on the Polygon blockchain with the transaction hash stored on-chain. The data and images uploaded as part of each wiki are stored on the IPFS network and the hashes are included on each page for the users to verify.
IQ.wiki also integrates artificial intelligence in our mission to educate the world on blockchain technology. We use AI to scale our content and make it easier for knowledge to be shared. IQ.wiki integrates OpenAI’s GPT-4 for tasks including summarizing wiki articles.
Whether you’re new to the space, a shadowy super coder, a DeFi degen, ETH maxi, or an NFT flipper, IQ.wiki is the place to learn and share knowledge about the crypto space.

History
A Little About Our History
The world’s largest blockchain encyclopedia wasn’t born overnight. IQ.wiki began as Everipedia, the “encyclopedia of everything”, in 2014 and became the world’s first blockchain encyclopedia in 2018 after launching the IQ token. In 2022, Everipedia expanded to the Polygon blockchain and rebranded as IQ.wiki. In 2023, the team behind IQ.wiki launched IQ GPT, the AI agent for blockchain knowledge.
2014
Dorm Room Dreams to Crypto Reality
In 2014, when Sam Kazemain and Theodor Forselius founded Everipedia in a UCLA dorm room. Travis Moore joined early on as a Co-founder and the company’s first Chief Technology Officer. Originally their vision for Everipedia was to be an “encyclopedia of everything,” a more modern alternative to Wikipedia. While today, the IQ token is known as a cryptocurrency, IQ began as a non-tradable points system that tracked editors' contributions on Everipedia.
2017
Everipedia's Blockchain Breakthrough
In December 2017, we announced our plan for Everipedia to become the world’s first blockchain encyclopedia in an exclusive with Wired.
2018
IQ Token Takes Flight
In February 2018, Everipedia raised $30 million from Galaxy Digital to build Everipedia into the world’s first blockchain encyclopedia. This raise and expansion were covered by several outlets including Engadget, Reuters, and Yahoo News. In July 2018, Everipedia turned its IQ points system into a real token. 51% of the IQ token supply was airdropped. In August, Everipedia made history by launching as the world’s first blockchain encyclopedia.
2020
Everipedia’s Crypto Revolution
Naturally, after Everipedia became a blockchain encyclopedia in 2018 the readership and editorship on Everipedia moved toward crypto content. In 2020, the Everipedia team continued its focus on blockchain innovation developing OraQles, a service that allows verified first parties to bring real-world information on-chain. On November 4, 2020, The Associated Press used the software to publish U.S. election race calls on Ethereum. This marked the first time a US election was called on the blockchain. The historic moment was covered by publications including Forbes, Coindesk and Nasdaq.
2022
Web3 Whirlwind! IQ.wiki Levels Up for the Cryptoverse
In 2022, Everipedia moved to the Polygon blockchain and rebranded as IQ.wiki. Along with the rebrand, we added several new Web3 features and integrations to serve the crypto community better. Over the past few years NFTs, DeFi, and the pace of innovation in Web3 have exploded. We’ve always been passionate about building and seeing the growth of the space inspired us to build out IQ.wiki as a hub for crypto knowledge. We rebranded to IQ.wiki to emphasize how the IQ token and cryptocurrency are central to the encyclopedia.
2023
IQ.wiki's AI integration
In 2023, BrainDAO launched IQ GPT, the first AI agent for blockchain knowledge. IQ GPT was trained using IQ.wiki, the world's largest crypto encyclopedia, and data from sources including DeFiLlama, Binance Academy, CoinGecko, CoinNess, and others. BrainDAO launched IQ.social and announced the development of IQ Code, the first AI model for smart contracts.
2024
IQ.wiki Keeps Innovating: AI Coding & More!
In 2024, BrainDAO will continue developing the ecosystem of AI dapps built around the IQ token. The team is working on enhancing IQ.wiki, IQ.social, and IQGPT.com, and launching new products like IQ Code, the first AI tool for smart contract auditing and coding.
