Updn – HN/Reddit-style site where stories, votes, tips use Bitcoin launched on May 15, 2014 with 97 votes, #170 of 1,247 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 12 years on.

Designed for people interested in cryptocurrency and decentralized communities, it combines social sharing with blockchain-based transactions. The platform allows participants to engage with content through Bitcoin-based interactions rather than standard upvoting systems, creating a financially integrated social discussion space.
