Everipedia recognized a certain pattern which they saw running through the centuries: that pattern of the knowledge being more and more diverse and more and more easily accessible. The logical next step after the creation of the free bases of knowledge around the web such as Wikipedia, seems to the Everipedia team to be that level of expertise and knowledge being brought to the decentralized, distributed ledgers around the web, where the information would be securely stored and avoid all possible risks of ever being removed or even threatened by the malicious third parties or any further enemies of free knowledge. By creating their own token, going by the ticker IQ, Everipedia is able to form an entire rewards systems, a system of potential payouts based on the amount and quality of content written and curated by the users of the platform itself. That comes on top of the obvious advantage of being a stakeholder of such an innovative project as Everipedia.
