" summary

Launches a concrete on‑chain schema called GRC20 for batching entity and relation updates and shows a developer library and near‑final spec ready for comment. Demonstrates a Notion‑like app Geo Genesis (aka Geo Browser) that publishes spaces, claims and news verifications on‑chain with community governance. Uses case studies — tracking Ethereum Foundation personnel changes, a San Francisco homelessness coordination dataset, and a crypto news claim extractor — and explains how interoperable IDs and on‑chain publishing enable composable knowledge across apps.
