What is Press Blockchain, and how does it work?

Press Blockchain is our custom Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for decentralized publishing, reputation scoring, and identity verification. It enables verifiable, timestamped content records, reputation-weighted voting, and transparent author metadata — all on-chain. Unlike general-purpose chains, Press is purpose-built for publishers, researchers, and journalists to mint immutable articles, build credibility, and reward engagement. With native support for Proof of Press, Press Blockchain transforms traditional news publishing into a decentralized and financially incentivized system.
