Blockchain-based publishing technology PUBLISH has been awarded a patent by the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) for a blockchain-based fact-checking system.
Specifically, the solution involves uploading news content to a factchecking platform where users are incentivised in tokens to factcheck the content. The content is then hashed and published on a distributed ledger along with the factchecking scores.
