Internet of Value: Building an Open Research & Knowledge Foundation
Internet of Value is repositioning as an Open Research & Knowledge Foundation for the XRP/Ripple ecosystem — built on evidence, not opinion.
Internet of Value does not need to build a new community from scratch. Strong communities already exist. IoV's role is to build something they can all use: a shared knowledge and research foundation.
A New Core Vision
Internet of Value is becoming an Open Research & Knowledge Foundation — built on facts, primary sources, evidence, and open access.
The goal: anyone, anywhere, should be able to investigate an important claim for free and find the primary sources themselves.
Evidence Over Opinion
If someone claims "XRP is a scam," we show the verified facts and primary sources — and let people draw their own conclusions.
The same standard applies to positive claims: VERIFIED, PARTIALLY VERIFIED, UNVERIFIED, DISPUTED, FALSE, or INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE. Not pro-XRP. Not anti-XRP. Pro-evidence.
Preserving What's Disappearing
A lot of XRPL history is quietly vanishing. Our Historical Knowledge Recovery effort preserves it with clear provenance for every item.
Contributing to XRPL Itself
We are researching how IoV can contribute directly to the XRPL ecosystem — including feasibility research into full ledger history infrastructure.
Basic factual knowledge and evidence navigation stay open and free, now and going forward.
The Roadmap
- Foundation — the knowledge base, evidence system, and chronology
- Contribution Network — connecting research across communities
- Community Features — accounts, contribution, reputation
- Sustainable Commercial Services
We are building this in order. No scope creep, no shortcuts.
