The Community Powered Interchain Knowledge Base
Hello, and welcome to your all-in-one guide to Interchain Info (ICI), the final piece of cryptoâs mass adoption puzzle! My name is Timmy, Iâm one of the co-founders of ICI, and I started as a community member just like anyone else. As a non-developer, but passionate community member, I had always wished for two things:
- An easier end-user experience in navigating and using the rapidly growing interchain, which only seemed to get bigger and more daunting by the day.
- More âopenâ tools that would let me and other community members help out our favorite projects, and onboard new users, no matter the skillset or background.
Well, Iâm thrilled to introduce you to our platform that aims to solve both of those issues! ICI is designed to make navigating, learning about, and using the interchain as simple and intuitive as your favorite web2 services, (like Wikipedia!)
What is Interchain Info?
ICI is your ultimate guide to the entire interchain, designed to make it as accessible and easy to navigate as possible. It consists of two main components: the Interchain Index and the Resource Hub, both organized into categories and ecosystems. You can browse both user submitted resources, and wiki pages in the Index via ecosystems, like The Cosmos Hub & AEZ, Ethereum, Solana, and many more, or by categories, like DeFi, NFTs, Creators & Educators, etc.
Beyond that, to ensure that anyone and everyone can contribute to what they find most important, just like with other wikis, new Index page submissions and edits are allowed by anyone at any time. Same for Resource submissions, they just arenât directly editable after initial submission except by verified authors.
Interchain Index
The Interchain Index is our web3 wiki, featuring pages on projects, people, companies, and even terms and concepts. Itâs a decentralized encyclopedia where anyone can contribute or edit, ensuring our info is always up-to-date and diverse. However, given the dubious world we live in, submissions and edits by anonymous users are manually reviewed by our team before going live to ensure end user safety.
Resource Hub
The Resource Hub aggregates a variety of user generated interchain content, from announcements and guides to critiques and anything else you can think of. It includes blog posts, videos, podcasts, tutorials and more, all integrated with the Index for a seamless exploration experience. Similar to the Index, anyone can submit Resources, not just the contentâs original author, so long as proper credits and attribution are given.
Infrastructure/Backend
Additionally, the content on ICI is able to power other sites, projects, and alternative UIâs for a variety of purposes. For example, plan to list a bunch of projects? Why not pull their logos and summaries in from ICI instead of dealing with it yourself? Get in touch with us to discuss what kind of custom integration could work for you, but some examples are Aez.InterchainInfo.zone and Dev3Map.com.
How to Use Interchain Info
For Users:
Dive into the Index to discover detailed information on various interchain projects and concepts. If you notice something missing or outdated, jump in and edit or add to it. Not only does this help the community, but it also supports the projects you care about. You can even submit resources to the Resource Hub if youâre a creator. Or even submit other peopleâs content, so long as you credit the original authors. This is a great way to support your favorite projects and share valuable content.
For Project Founders and Team Members:
Submit and update detailed info about your project in the Interchain Index. Regular updates keep your audience informed and engaged.
Also, submit your written and video content to the Resource Hub to reach a broader audience. If youâre still only using Medium, youâre probably missing out on a ton of traffic. 99% of Medium traffic comes from links posted elsewhere, I.e. X/Twitter, because no oneâs just browsing Medium and stumbling across stuff in the way they frequently do on ICI. So consider cross posting all your medium content to the Resource Hub!
Lastly, consider our verification and other premium services to help make your project or content standout and attract even more users. More info here.
Why You Should Get Involved
ICI makes learning about the interchain straightforward and enjoyable. By contributing to the Index or Resource Hub, youâre not only enhancing your understanding but also helping others navigate the interchain space. Supporting projects you believe in by ensuring theyâre accurately represented and easily discoverable is crucial.
Do you want to increase awareness of your project? Then people need to be discovering and onboarding into that project, and for the first time ever with ICI, anyone can help contribute to that goal.
