DNN's alpha version running on the Kovan Testnet

DNN Alpha Release

The DNN alpha has been officially released and is now welcoming contributions from the community!

What is DNN?

Decentralized News Network is a political news platform that combines news creation with decentralized networks as a means to delivering factual content, curated by the community of readers, writers, and reviewers.

DNN will harness the power of the Ethereum blockchain to create infrastructure that is virtually impossible to infiltrate or take down. Since DNN is not centralized, it does not have a potential single point of failure. The platform’s core purpose is to present political news as accurately as possible, free of any corrupt incentives or hidden agendas, which plagues most news corporations.

The DNN platform will focus on facilitating the dissemination of balanced and factual observation of current political affairs. DNN's mission is to create political news content that is both empowering for its readers, as well as representative of the integrity of its writers. DNN aspires to become the most-trusted and democratic political news alternative to the mainstream media.
