This week, we very proudly unveiled our latest project, a great resource for the whole crypto space. The DeSearch Crypto Search Engine is the world’s first crypto-focused search engine. And we think it looks pretty good:

The Reason and the Many, Many Features

Increasingly, the “go to” search engines and sites cannot be trusted to provide free and open access to information, especially about crypto. Moreover, the way that search results are organized reinforces old, irrelevant hierarchies based on selling the user products, not providing credible information. All the worst instincts of centralization led to restrictions placed on users, like Google’s recently announced ban on crypto-content in advertisements that will also erase the crypto-focused Youtube accounts. DeSearch is the BitClave mission in action, and the lessons we learn from this launch are helping us to create the best general-use search engine we can build as we take on the big, centralized players.

You can utilize DeSearch for all your crypto information needs and curiosities, in one easy dashboard and without advertising. It gives you the top crypto news from trusted, relevant websites, and it works intelligently to gather the essentials on whatever topic you fancy. DeSearch’s powerful search capability also looks through the top sites used in the blockchain space, searching Telegram channels, BT, company and influencer Medium content, and Reddit, for the deepest dive on ICO and all crypto information — and fast! Use DeSearch to keep up to date on crypto exchanges, find a strong ICO, track your favorite dapps and developers, and quickly get the useful content that is restricted on the old search sites. You can get to know DeSearch on its Product Hunt page.

Launching this Week on Product Hunt

It became very clear to our team in the past few weeks that it was time to get DeSearch out and usable to the crypto community. We think that all the latest news about anti-crypto actions by the big internet platforms show that the crypto community needs an ad-free space dedicated to crypto. We also wanted to step-up and create a search engine that doesn’t just replace Google, but surpasses it. All the features our team has put into DeSearch prioritize usability, relevant content, and privacy, and make DeSearch a great crypto resource.

Product Hunt was a perfect fit to share the DeSearch engine with the public for the first time (after our community soft launch). Because the feedback on DeSearch will go straight into the development of BitClave, we wanted to reach the widest audience possible and gain the insights of Product Hunt’s rich product community. We have really big plans for BitClave and hope to grow our community and users. We are already finding the feedback from sharing DeSearch on our existing channels, with BitClave users and among the many thoughtful crypto space commentators useful. So a big ‘Thank you!’ in advance, for checking out DeSearch and giving us the feedback to improve.

We hear you! We’ve been on the receiving end of much feedback already, and we wanted to address some of the most pressing questions and comments. Let’s get into it:

We are striving to make a decentralized search engine, and that is absolutely our goal. Right now, as DeSearch is in alpha, we are using tools like Google Analytics temporarily to give our development team feedback on the search’s features. This way improvements can be made to the platform before DeSearch becomes a completely decentralized ecosystem. Once we address the challenges and work on the feedback we receive during this soft launch, the platform will be running by itself without any intermediary, as promised.

Thank you! It was important to us to share this initial version of the search to share our progress and gain the insights of the community, so that all the features we add into the ecosystem are ones that will be truly valued. We hope DeSearch will soon sweep you off your feet!

Absolutely not! All information in this stage is completely anonymized, and as soon as the development team is able to incorporate the feedback given during this stage into the platform, DeSearch will be the first fully-decentralized crypto search in the world.

Actually, the Binance page comes up as the second result, after its trading value. It’s important to us that DeSearch provides a holistic view of any term to increase its utility to make it a resource for the crypto community.

To the many commentators and users, thank you! We are pleased to have your very helpful feedback and be able to incorporate it into our platform. Please stay tuned for more developments, responses, and features.
