Hacker Noon - HackerNoon + Arweave to the Moon!

Hello HackerNoon-er, 👋

In collaboration with Arweave, we've established a robust system for Web3 backups of all HackerNoon stories. With HackerNoon's extensive publication history of over 1 billion words, every single story and word is now safeguarded on Arweave. This partnership guarantees HackerNoon and its contributing writers reliable Web3 backups for their entire collection of stories. Read more.

How do these Web3 Backups work?

The moment a HackerNoon story is published, it also gets backed up on Arweave, meaning HackerNoon stories will live even if HackerNoon dies. A version of trust but verify, as in, I believe HackerNoon will outlive me, but why not backup all the content on a public ledger just in case?

Note: to date, via writer dashboard, contributors can also download JSON, PDF, and audio versions of their stories.

A publishing platform’s ability to distribute is a function of it’s accessibility. That's why we automatically turn our text stories into audio story files, multi-lingual translations, terminal view, printer view, and now, a cryptographic text backup via digital signature on Arweave. It's our way of making sure your stories reach as many people as possible while keeping them safe and sound.
