Everipedia (/ˌɛvərɪˈpdiə/) is a blockchain-based online encyclopedia. Everipedia was founded in 2014 and was officially launched in 2015, as a fork of Wikipedia. Larry Sanger (who co-founded Wikipedia) joined the company in 2017.[4] In 2022, Everipedia was renamed IQ.wiki.[3]

The company was initially headquartered in Westwood, Los Angeles but has since relocated to Santa Monica, California.[5] The site depicts itself as "The World's Largest Blockchain & Crypto Encyclopedia" and formerly as "everyone's encyclopedia".[6][7][8][9]
