FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About This Archive

The questions below explain what the site covers, how it is maintained, and how readers should use the material.

1

What does this site cover?

The archive covers the complete evolution of decentralized technology, from 1970s cryptographic foundations through Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 mainstream adoption. It includes 13 long-form chapters, key figures profiles, major events analysis, and future trend insights.

2

Do I need a technical background?

No. Technical readers will find protocol context and terminology, but the content is written so non-specialists can follow the main narrative and understand why events mattered. A glossary covers the key technical terms.

3

How is this different from a news site or blog?

This site is organized as a reference archive. The goal is not daily coverage but durable context: structured chapters, curated timelines, and historical explanations that stay useful after the news cycle moves on.

4

How often is the material updated?

Pages are reviewed when better sources become available, factual corrections are needed, or later developments materially change how earlier events should be interpreted. Coverage extends through July 2026.

5

Can I use the material for study or research?

Yes. The site is written for educational use and background research, but readers should still verify important claims against primary sources when using the material for academic, professional, or financial decisions.

6

Why does the site publish in two languages?

Decentralized technology development has always been global. Publishing in English and Chinese makes the archive more accessible and helps preserve context that is often split across different language communities.
