Editorial standards

Accuracy and sourcing

We base factual claims on primary sources wherever possible: official documentation, protocol source code, on-chain data and statements from the teams involved. Articles link to those sources so readers can check them. Where something is uncertain, disputed or changing quickly, we say so.

Numbers, prices and predictions

Crypto metrics such as prices, fees, throughput and total value locked change constantly. We avoid quoting volatile figures unless they are essential, and when we do we state the source and date. We never publish price predictions or promise returns.

Review before publication

Every article is reviewed by an editor before it is published. Some first drafts are prepared with the help of AI writing tools; when that happens, a human editor checks every factual claim against primary sources, edits the piece, and takes responsibility for it before publication.

Conflicts of interest

Writers and editors must disclose any material holdings, employment or financial relationship connected to a project they cover, and may be reassigned. We do not accept payment, tokens or other benefits in exchange for coverage. If we ever publish sponsored material, it will be clearly labelled as such and kept separate from editorial content.

Corrections and updates

When we get something wrong, we fix it promptly. Significant corrections are noted in the article. Explainers are reviewed and updated as protocols change; the “Updated” date at the top of each article shows the last substantive revision.

Reader safety

Our guides prioritise security: we explain how scams work, link only to official project domains, and never ask readers to connect wallets or share recovery phrases. See the disclaimer for the limits of our content.
