What Happened

Presearch, a community-driven blockchain, hopes to rival Alphabet Inc’s Google with its newly launched search engine.

“In a world where one company controls 92 percent of the search engine market and the flow of information for billions of people, there’s a clear need for a decentralized, Web3 alternative,” said Presearch founder Colin Pape, in a press release shared with Benzinga.
