Corrections Policy
Crypto reporting gets things wrong more often than most beats, because so much of it is built on figures that no two outlets agree on. When we get something wrong, we say so in the article rather than quietly editing it away.
How to report an error
- Send us the article and the problemThe URL, the sentence you are disputing, and what you believe the correct position is.
- Point us at something checkableA filing, an announcement, a transaction, a statement on the record. We cannot act on “this is wrong” alone.
- We check itAgainst the original source and against what other outlets reported at the time.
- We publish the outcomeEither a dated correction on the article, or a reply explaining why we are standing by it.
Send corrections through the contact page. Put “Correction” in the subject so it is not mistaken for a pitch.
What we do about it
| Type | What it covers | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Correction | A fact was wrong — a figure, a date, a name, an attribution. | The article is fixed and carries a dated line stating what was changed and what it previously said. |
| Update | The story moved on, or a claim that was unconfirmed has now been confirmed or denied. | A dated update block is appended. The original text stays. |
| Clarification | Nothing was factually wrong, but the wording could be read as saying something we did not mean. | The wording is tightened and a note explains the change. |
| Retraction | The central claim of the article does not hold up. | The article is marked retracted, with the reason stated. The page stays up. |
We do not delete an article to make a mistake disappear. A retracted piece stays online, marked as retracted, so the record of what we published and why we withdrew it remains public.
Takedown requests
Being unflattering is not the same as being inaccurate. We will correct anything demonstrably wrong, quickly and without argument. We will not remove accurate reporting because a project would prefer it were not there.
If you believe published material is unlawful rather than merely unwelcome, say so explicitly and set out the grounds, and it will be reviewed on that basis.
Where corrections appear
On the article itself, at the point of the error or immediately below the piece, with the date and time in UTC. Articles that have been revised since publication also show an “Updated” stamp near the byline, so you can tell at a glance whether what you are reading is the version that first went out.
Found something wrong?
Corrections go to the same people who publish the articles. There is no separate desk to get lost in.
