Misinformation is everywhere, and fact-checking often feels like playing whack-a-mole. What if we flipped the script?

Imagine a blockchain where scientific papers get added, and key facts are extracted and linked back to their source. If a study turns out to be flawed—bad stats, misinterpretation, whatever—the linked facts get flagged automatically.

Now, let’s take it further: News articles and reports can reference these facts to prove they’re based on solid data. But if those facts later get debunked, the misinformation spreads in reverse—articles that relied on them also get marked.

This way, truth isn’t just a snapshot—it’s something that evolves over time, transparently. No more endless debunking. Just a system that adapts as knowledge does.

Do you know if anything like that already exists and how it performs? I would be very interested in learning about it, tanks in advance :)

I am aware that this might spark some discussions ;)

Daring thesis: if you develop an assamble of old school desktop applications that work together via im- and exports and dont use the same data storage - you are developing microservices. True or false?
