Crowd Facts has been created with support from @resonator, which is an account supported by JamesC, one of original developers of the Steem blockchain that Hive is dependent on. Resonator promotes Hive, supports decentralization and incubates projects on Hive that stand a chance of adding value to Hive. Resonator's aim is to improve Hive's utility and to increase the value of the Hive token.

Crowd Facts is a decentralized project that aims to motivate and empower the Hive community to work together to achieve a common goal. The individuals who run the Crowd Facts account are intended to have minimal involvement with the project once it is established.

The project aims to uncover the truth of important subjects by applying the 'wisdom of the crowd' to the idea of 'fact checking' in use by Reuters and other similar platforms. The Crowd Facts team aims to be neutral and will generally only act to help to grow the project.

Since Crowd Facts is primarily a curation project and not an authorship project, plus also to protect those involved from malicious attacks (should uncomfortable truths emerge as facts are checked), it has been decided that the Crowd Facts team will remain anonymous.
