About us

ABAB Pedia is an encyclopedia supported by ABAB Labs. Launched in September 2026, it focuses on finance and technology and mainly covers people and organizations that have shaped the industry.

We use frontier AI models to help organize public information and trace how things developed. Through cited sources and continuous updates, we help readers understand people's careers, how organizations evolved and their influence on the industry.

We hope to bring order to scattered information and make knowledge about finance and technology easier to look up, understand and verify.

How entries are made

Entries on ABAB Pedia come from two sources: some are added on the editorial team's own initiative, and others are created at the request of the person or organization concerned after they pay a service fee. Any entry you read may be of the second kind.

Both follow the same standard: there must be published third-party coverage to rely on, and ABAB Pedia writes the content independently. The service fee pays for review, writing and ongoing maintenance. It cannot buy inclusion or decide what an entry says. If there is no third-party coverage, we do not charge and do not create an entry.

  1. PHP security vulnerabilities: a note on our website and user privacy

    On October 21, 2026, the PHP project disclosed two critical security vulnerabilities and released fixes. In response to readers’ concerns about website security, we are sharing how ABAB Pedia’s main application is built and how we protect user privacy.

    ABAB Pedia’s main application is built with Next.js, React and TypeScript. It does not use the PHP runtime to handle website requests. The two vulnerabilities in the PHP advisory affect that runtime, which is not part of our main application’s technology stack.

    Protecting user privacy and data security is a basic requirement of operating our website. We use HTTPS to encrypt pages and requests in transit, along with authentication, role-based permissions and database access controls to restrict access to non-public information. Login email addresses and authentication information are not displayed as part of public contributor profiles. Profile information that users choose to make public, published entries and citations are displayed through the relevant website features.

    Security requires ongoing maintenance, and no technology architecture can guarantee zero risk. We will continue to pay attention to security updates for the components we use, prioritize data protection and take user feedback seriously. For privacy questions, requests to correct or delete information, or reports of security issues, contact support@ababpedia.com. Please do not send passwords, verification codes or unrelated sensitive information in emails or public content.

  2. ABAB Pedia reaches 900 entries

    As of 20 September 2026, ABAB Pedia includes 900 entries on people and organizations in finance and technology.

    Reaching 900 entries is a milestone. We will keep organizing public information, completing citations and updating entries, so knowledge about finance and technology is easier to look up, understand and verify.
