Although from the beginning of human civilization, many historical events (official history) have been preserved in the form of records, and have been passed down to this day, which is known to us. But there are still a large part of historical facts that can only be circulated continuously by the people, and these unofficial histories are difficult to verify because there are no specific records. This has also caused many historians to debate endlessly about the true appearance and causes of some historical events.
Although in ancient times, most areas would establish a position to record history, the history they recorded was not necessarily accurate and reliable. For example, under the feudal system, the historians who recorded history in ancient China may have their historical records rewritten by the emperor, and the history books may record more events that praised the rulers, while some negative news was erased from the history books.
There are also doubts about the accuracy of some mainstream historical views recognized by most people, such as whether Napoleon was really short in stature, whether Columbus was the first explorer to discover the New World of America, etc. Even in modern and contemporary times, there are still some doubtful histories, such as Area 51 in the United States, the truth about the Pearl Harbor incident, and what happened when Kennedy was assassinated. Factors leading to these events have not been documented in detail.
In addition, before modern times, history was usually recorded in the form of physical carriers, such as bamboo, paper, etc., and historical records lost due to improper preservation are also one of the important factors causing incomplete history. The emergence of the modern Internet has brought great convenience to the recording of events, but it is usually tamperable and centralized, and it will disappear with the loss of server data. And all this is expected to be changed by blockchain.
HistoryDAO: Reshaping the way history is recorded
Blockchain is a distributed network, which is characterized by decentralization, openness and transparency, permissionless and tamper-proof. Based on this, the blockchain may become the best carrier for recording and preserving history in the future. HistoryDAO is currently the first history platform based on blockchain technology to record and save history.
HistoryDAO itself is built on the Ethereum network and uses Web3 as the main ideology. It is permissionless and incentivized. Anyone can record and view history through HistoryDAO. Therefore, for the HistoryDAO platform, users will be the main contributors to uploading historical events. From a formal point of view, users can upload titles, articles, texts, and pictures to forever commemorate important moments in history for on-chain records. And store in the form of IPFS.
HistoryDAO introduces NFT. Any user who uploads historical events based on HistoryDAO will generate a historical NFT after uploading. This NFT can be used not only as a historical certificate, but also as a commemorative asset. After being minted, this NFT will be able to be collected or traded, and it will be protected and cannot be tampered with.
Although HistoryDAO allows any user to mint historical NFTs, usually users need to pledge a certain amount of ETH assets and pay a certain minting fee before minting historical NFTs to prevent evil. When a user uploads a historical event and "Mints" it as an NFT of the historical event, within 10-30 minutes, the first 100 users can track the historical event and mint a copy of the NFT.
And as these copies of NFT are traded in the market (a transaction fee of 2% is charged for each transaction), the event will gradually be verified by more traders. With the further development of the HistoryDAO platform, the community will form a set of stricter historical evaluation standards, and will build a punishment mechanism for some publishers who publish false historical information (such as confiscating the ETH assets pledged by false publishers, etc.) . HistoryDAO stores some transaction data on the hash chain to improve transaction efficiency and reduce transaction gas fees.
The NFT minting fees and transaction fees generated in HistoryDAO will be used to reward holders and buyers of historical NFTs.
The HistoryDAO community will also select the annual figures and events in the form of DAO on a weekly, monthly and annual basis, and create event series and character series for further collection, so as to further expand the influence of high-quality historical content , of course, the creators of these high-quality content will also be rewarded.
HistoryDAO builds an on-chain browser through which anyone can query historical events. With the further improvement of the content capacity of HistoryDAO, it will provide services for the vast majority of historical information demanders.
HistoryDAO also intends to create a metaverse world with the theme of history, in which a large number of scenes will be built to become an art ecology with trading functions, and a large number of GameFi scenes will be built to further enhance users' understanding of history, and Provide them with P2E benefits as well as other forms of deep value.
Currently, Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, Kevin Kelly, the founder and editor-in-chief of Wired magazine, and Mikhail Gorbachev, former president of the Soviet Union, have all become early collaborators of HistoryDAO.
