Since first coined by Google in 2012, knowledge graph has received extensive attention from both industry and academia, and has been widely used in many scenarios with success, e.g. information retrieval, online recommendation, question-answering, and so on. However, traditional centralized construction of knowledge graph faces many challenges, such as laborious and time-consuming, vulnerable to manipulation or tampering, lacking scrutiny, among others. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel decentralized knowledge graph construction method by means of crowdsourcing, and the business logic of crowdsourcing is implemented by blockchain-powered smart contracts to guarantee the transparency, integrity, and auditability. On this basis, the decentralized knowledge graph is used for a deep recommender system, and case studies validate the effectiveness of the system. This paper is aimed at providing a novel decentralized approach for constructing knowledge graph and serving as reference and guidance for future research and practical applications of knowledge graph.
