Proof of Press is the world’s first consensus model designed for journalism. It replaces hash power and capital lockup with reputation, transparency, and community validation. Instead of miners, Press Blockchain relies on truth seekers, reporters, editors, and readers, who verify content accuracy through staking and voting.
When an article is published, it enters the network as Pending. Validators upvote or downvote based on accuracy, sources, and originality. Once the article meets the threshold of community consensus, it becomes Verified and permanently anchored to the blockchain. The journalist receives PRESS rewards, validators earn participation bonuses, and readers gain access to an immutable record of authentic information.
Proof of Press aligns human integrity with blockchain consensus – a system where credibility, not computation, determines finality. It turns journalism into a transparent, self-regulating process where truth is not just written, but proven.
