This essay describes the current consensus on the notability of cryptocurrencies and other blockchain-related projects.
In summary, it is generally expected that such projects should have received significant and independent coverage from mainstream news sources or other reputable sources. Coverage by news organizations that primarily cover cryptocurrency news is not sufficient to establish notability.
The community has enacted discretionary sanctions on the topics of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, due to floods of spam on the subject. An effective defence against this is high-quality sourcing.
