Popula, a subscription-based news platform, has announced the successful placement of its news article on Ethereum’s blockchain platform. Civil, a blockchain-based startup, assisted Popula with its resources to store the news article on the ledger platform.

Reportedly, the article was first published in Death + Taxes magazine, and later moved to the Ethereum blockchain. The article’s hash was stored on the IPFS protocol. The news firm has claimed that the article will remain there till the Ethereum blockchain and IFPS protocol continue to exist.

Maria Bustillos, the editor of Popula, has stated that the goal of the project was to preserve the articles immutability. She has said that from the time she was introduced to the nascent technology, she was made sure that it had the potential of creating a decentralized world and developing unchangeable records. Furthermore, Bustillos has also stressed on the fact that original and creative works stored on blockchain cannot be easily destroyed or corrupted.
