Editorial Standards

These are the rules we hold ourselves to. They are published so you can hold us to them too.

Sourcing

Every factual claim in an article traces to something you can check: a filing, an exchange announcement, an on-chain transaction, a named outlet’s reporting, or a statement on the record. Where a claim rests on a single anonymous source reported elsewhere, we say so rather than laundering it into fact.

What we will not do

• Present a projection, a target or a prediction as though it were a reported fact.
• Round a contested figure to whichever number makes the better headline.
• Publish a price call, a “next 100x” list, or anything that functions as a buy recommendation.
• Let a commercial relationship change what appears in an editorial article.
• Take payment for a followed link, or for coverage dressed up as editorial.

Attribution and syndication

Some articles are produced with our sister desk AltcoinGordon. Those carry an explicit credit to the original at the foot of the piece.

In August 2026 we removed every article on this site that had been syndicated from third-party publications — around 1,674 pieces. Those URLs now return 410 Gone. We would rather publish a small amount of work that is ours than a large amount that is somebody else’s.

Corrections

We correct in the open. A substantive change carries a dated update line in the article describing what changed. We do not silently edit a claim out of existence and we do not delete an article to make an error disappear.

Full detail, including how to report one: corrections policy.

Automation and AI

We use software to gather and compare what has been published across the market — that is the method behind the corroboration you see in our articles. Software assists with research and drafting; the claims, the framing and the decision to publish are made by people, and we are accountable for the result either way. We do not publish machine-generated text that nobody has checked.

Conflicts of interest

Anyone writing about a project they hold a position in must disclose it in the article. Where a project has an active commercial relationship with us, editorial coverage of that project says so.

Independence of commercial content

Not investment advice

Nothing published here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. We are not licensed financial advisers and we do not offer personal financial advice. Crypto markets are volatile; treat everything you read here, and everywhere else, as information rather than instruction.
