In the blog post announcing the integration, the IQ.wiki team shared some information on further AI integrations. [26]

"And this is just the beginning. We are exploring several use cases for AI within the IQ ecosystem. BrainDAO is looking into how AI could be used to translate articles into different languages. This would break down barriers and make it much easier for editors to collaborate and share knowledge about the blockchain space. Another use case is identifying potential trending topics before they became popular. AI could also be used to edit wiki articles for spelling and grammar as well as neutrality. AI will be a key tool in scaling IQ.wiki and increasing the utility of the IQ token.

The IQ token powers a knowledge ecosystem that includes decentralized applications such as IQ.wiki. The platform was built from the ground up to be fully Web3 with all edits recorded on-chain through Polygon and IPFS.

In 2023, BrainDAO will focus on not only integrating AI into the IQ.wiki platform but also building a system around training artificial intelligence. Through IQ token rewards for contributions to the IQ.wiki encyclopedia BrainDAO has the opportunity to incentivize the testing and development of artificial intelligence. We’ll be sharing more about our plans for 2023 soon."

In March 2023, the IQ ecosystem upgraded from OpenAI's GPT-3 to the GPT-4 model. Previously, GPT-3 was used by IQ.wiki to summarize complex wiki articles into brief 256-character summaries for search engines.

History

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.

Pre-blockchain Origins

Everipedia was founded by  and  at UCLA in December 2014. The website was created as a side project out of Kazemian's dorm room. [4][5]

Originally, Everipedia started with a mission to build a more modern and inclusive version of Wikipedia. Sam and Theodor were inspired by Y Combinator's co-founder Paul Graham's blog post published in 2008 entitled "Startup Ideas We'd Like to Fund." In his list of ideas, he called for "more open alternatives to Wikipedia". [3]

In April 2015,  joined Everipedia's team as a co-founder and their CTO. In September 2017,  joined as Everipedia's COO and CFO.

In July 2015, Everipedia received seed funding from Mucker Capital. Shortly after, Everipedia received its first outside investment from angel investor Kami Parsa. It also received funds from multiple other angel investors that year, including David Segura and David Petersen, the co-founder and CEO of Buildzoom. In 2016, Everipedia received $130,000 on Wefunder, a crowdfunding service that connects start-ups with investors online.

Everipedia becomes the first Blockchain Encyclopedia

On December 6, 2017, Everipedia announced they were building "the first encyclopedia on the blockchain." They stated they are working on a cryptocurrency token called IQ which would be used to govern the platform and incentivize editors. Prior to expanding onto the blockchain, Everipedia had an IQ points system where editors would get non-tradable points to signify how many contributions they had made to the site. [18]

On the same day, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger joined the team serving as Everipedia's Chief Information Officer until he launched the non-profit Knowledge Standards Foundation in 2019. [18][19]

On February 8, 2018, Everipedia announced that it had received $30 million of funding from a group of strategic investors in a Series A led by Galaxy Digital to build Everipedia into the world’s first blockchain encyclopedia. [6]

On July 12, 2018, Everipedia moved onto the EOS blockchain and launched the IQ token airdropping 51% of the IQ token supply to EOS holders. Everipedia Co-Founder and CTO Travis Moore explained that by doing an airdrop Everipedia would ensure the widest possible distribution of IQ tokens with every EOS holder receiving tokens. [20]

"The airdrop will play a significant role in helping Everipedia accomplish as wide of a distribution as possible for IQ tokens."

After Everipedia became a blockchain encyclopedia in 2018 the readership and editorship on Everipedia moved toward crypto content. [27]
