The Library of Alexandria was the world’s first known attempt to create a universal library, one place to store all of the knowledge that existed and could be collected at the time. In fact, the creators of the library once wrote that they wanted to “collect, if possible, all the books in the world.” With that in mind, CoinMarketCap has founded CoinMarketCap Alexandria. Unlike the Library of Alexandria, which reportedly searched all incoming ships for books to take for its physical collection, Alexandria will house online both content about crypto written by our own researchers.

While CoinMarketCap Alexandria cannot claim to cover all of the existing knowledge of the cryptocurrency space, we are starting our online library with the same lofty goal of those original Library of Alexandria founders back in the second century BCE: "to collect, if possible, all of the information about cryptocurrency in the world."
