The Blockchain History is a bilingual educational archive that documents the development of blockchain technology from its cryptographic roots in the 1970s through to the Web3 era.
The archive contains 13 long-form chapters covering the full arc of decentralized technology: public-key cryptography, digital cash experiments, the Bitcoin whitepaper, early adoption, Ethereum and smart contracts, the ICO wave, DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 mainstream integration. Alongside the main narrative, the site maintains reference pages for key figures, major events, and a searchable timeline.
Content is written for a general audience with enough technical context for specialists. The goal is durable reference material rather than breaking news. Pages are reviewed when better sources surface, factual corrections are needed, or later developments reframe earlier events.
All material is published in English and Chinese. Decentralized technology development has always been global, and maintaining two languages helps preserve context that is often split across different communities.
The content is based on publicly available information, research papers, and historical records. While we work to keep it accurate, blockchain is a fast-moving field. Readers should verify claims against primary sources when using the material for academic, professional, or financial decisions. Nothing on this site constitutes financial or investment advice.
