 * Keep, although poorly written, there appear to be several new WP:RS that have appeared since the last deletion, and that establish notability, i.e. 1, 2, & 3. SailingInABathTub (talk) 14:21, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep It's always difficult to subtract the promo features and "we love all things CC" gush articles from these topics, but overall I think this is sufficient sourcing.

 * Forbes and CoinDesk are both bad sources, see Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources. I don't really know VentureBeat but it looks like a blog to me. It focuses on "transformative" tech so it possibly not very critical at all. --Ysangkok (talk) 23:27, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Forbes is hit and miss (depends on the contributor - they do a lot of paid promo features), and CoinDesk we have down as "generally unreliable". -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:12, 8 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep: The sources in the article (except for Forbes and CoinDesk) are reliable, including the ones indicated by SailingInABathTub. That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:GNG. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 15:45, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
