Why The Blockchain Wire exists
One page for the day's blockchain news, read from the outlets that report it, plus the occasional note from the person who runs it.
Blockchain news is spread across a dozen good outlets, and most days the same story is told five times. I wanted one page I could open in the morning and read top to bottom: every headline, where it came from, and when.
That is what this site is. Every couple of hours it reads the public feeds of the outlets listed on the about page, keeps the headline, the source, the time and a one-line summary, and links straight to the original. The reporting belongs to the people who did it, so the full story is always read on their site, never copied here.
What is automatic and what is not
The wire itself is automatic. Nobody picks the stories, ranks them or rewrites the headlines. Sections are assigned by simple keyword rules, which means a story will sometimes land in the wrong one.
Pieces marked From the editor are different. I write those. They cover what I am building and what I think about the industry, and they are labelled so that nobody mistakes them for the wire.
Who runs it
The Blockchain Wire is edited by Pratyush Shivam. I build blockchain infrastructure for a living, currently for European freight. There are no adverts, no trackers and no sponsored stories here.
