For Verified Hedera Ecosystem And Project Info, Just Ask Gib

Here’s an idea that you’ve probably heard before: Information is power. And for the majority of our lives (and all of human history) it’s been true. But what used to be ‘a timeless adage’ is now straight up outdated.

In today’s AI-powered world - where anyone can say anything in a way that looks, sounds, and feels like it’s legit - the power isn’t just information, but rather it’s access to the right information that matters.

We think it’s important to make the distinction because for anyone relying on third-party information to guide financial decisions, like whether or not to support a token project, accessing the wrong information can be costly to their belief in web3.

And to their wallet.

Enter Gib, a decentralized knowledge hub, purpose-built to cut through noise, eliminate scams, and help surface verified, community-sourced insights. It's part guide, part guard, and entirely Hedera-native.

Gib is a play on “give.” And that’s exactly what it does—gives knowledge, gives clarity, gives the Hedera ecosystem a human voice in a noisy world. It’s not scraping for SEO-optimized content. It’s not feeding users whatever pays for placement. It’s giving you only what the community has verified, all within a chain-specific context.

Want to know the verified token ID for a new project?

Gib’s got it.

Looking for the official swap link to help avoid rug pulls?

Ask Gib.

Need onboarding instructions for a first-time wallet user?

Gib serves it up clean, simple, and human.

This makes Gib.chat a frictionless “doorman” to the ecosystem—helping remove barriers for the curious, the cautious, and the confused. And in a space where most new users bounce at the first sign of technical friction, that’s a massive advantage.

Information Chaos in a Permissionless World

Web3 prides itself on being permissionless and decentralized—but that openness can be a double-edged sword because there’s no single source of truth.

Projects come and go. Links break. Token IDs are hard to find. Scams look polished.

And when new users turn to generic AI assistants for answers, they’re often served outdated, inaccurate, or even malicious information.

This chaos stifles onboarding and hinders discovery. Builders lose traffic. Users lose trust.

Gib.chat steps in to help solve this—with a model rooted in open-source transparency, community participation, and most importantly, verified trust.

Gib.Chat Speaks The Truth

Gib isn’t just a chatbot—it’s a curated interface to the Hedera ecosystem, powered by a vetted, community-maintained knowledge base.

At its core, Gib.chat is:

  • A verified link directory: Every resource Gib shares—whether it’s how to make a wallet, join a Telegram group, or find a DEX—is vetted to reduce risk of scams and misinformation.

  • An AI assistant built on siloed, Hedera-specific knowledge: Unlike generic AIs scraping the open web, Gib pulls from a controlled, transparent file system. This means higher accuracy, contextual responses, and no risk of surfacing ad-inflated or malicious links.

  • Open-source and permissionless: Projects can contribute to the repo, and anyone can inspect or fork the knowledge base. This is collective intelligence in action.

How It Works: Behind the Chat Bubble

Under the hood, Gib.chat combines community curation with smart UX design:

  • Projects can submit their DApps or tokens via form.

  • Submissions are vetted, tagged, and added to the GitHub repo.

  • Gib pulls from this repo to provide up-to-date, accurate responses.

  • Developers can whitelist their site to embed the Gib.chat widget—creating a verified, contextual support layer for their app.

  • Rate-limiting and URL whitelisting prevent abuse, jailbreaking, and spam use.

Over time, the more it’s used, the better it gets. Not just through fine-tuning models, but through the growing richness of the knowledge base.

By The People, For The People

Another reason we love Gib.chat is that it's built by a long-time, passionate member of the Hedera community. The idea didn’t come from an incubator or a VC brainstorm—it came from lived experience. Someone saw the friction, felt the fragmentation, and decided to build a solution that simplifies Web3 without compromising its ethos.

And now, we’re excited to see it go wide.
