Prototype for ETH Signing for endorsing Wikipedia updates

Wikipedia suffers from vandalism. We built a prototype for making endorsement from cryptographically signed signature using Ethereum wallet (e.g. MetaMask)

Prototype for ETH Signing for endorsing Wikipedia updates launched on July 3, 2023 with 30 votes, #1,430 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

This is a prototype that addresses Wikipedia vandalism by allowing users to endorse edits using cryptographically signed signatures from Ethereum wallets like MetaMask. Instead of relying solely on traditional Wikipedia moderation, the system lets users verify their support for updates through blockchain-based authentication. It's designed for Wikipedia contributors and readers who want to add a layer of cryptographic verification to the editing process.

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
