Contributing

Anyone is welcome to contribute to Crypto Wake.

General guidelines

  • Employ a tone of celebration mixed with honest assessment
  • Highlight lessons for future builders
  • Err on the side of using past tense even if a project is nominally still in existence
  • Ignore outright scam projects unless they furnish especially interesting lessons
  • Projects may still be operating, but they should be meaningfully inactive for at least a year in terms of development, use, and market value
  • Cite source material as much as possible with in-text hyperlinks

Entry format

Each entry should have the following sections:

  • Introduction - A brief summary of the project, around one paragraph
  • Lore - A history of the project, including an explanation of its demise
  • Lessons - Distill lessons from the project
  • Links - Provide useful links about the project, starting with the official "Website," "Wikipedia" page, and "Codebase," if applicable. Use Wayback Machine links for inactive (or likely to become inactive) websites.
