Editorial and ethics policy

Accuracy and sourcing

• Factual claims are verified against a primary source: a filing, a dataset, a document or a named person.
• Anonymous sourcing is used only when information is important and otherwise unavailable, and is approved by an editor who knows the source's identity.
• Subjects of critical reporting are offered a chance to respond before publication.
• Price and on-chain data are timestamped and attributed to the venue or explorer they came from.

Independence and conflicts of interest

• Staff disclose crypto holdings to the editor and may not report on assets they hold.
• Staff do not accept payment, tokens, airdrops, travel or gifts from covered companies.
• Advertising, sponsorship and events are handled by a separate commercial team with no editorial input.
• Sponsored content is labelled at the top of the page and excluded from our RSS and news sitemaps.

Use of AI

Generative tools may assist with transcription, formatting and research prompts. They are not used to write published copy unsupervised. A named human journalist is responsible for every published sentence and appears in the byline.

Financial reporting is not advice

Nothing published on this site constitutes investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any asset. Digital assets are volatile and readers are responsible for their own decisions.

Corrections and complaints

Errors are corrected promptly and transparently under our corrections policy. Unresolved complaints are escalated to the managing editor.

Plagiarism and attribution

Reporting that originates elsewhere is credited and linked in the first mention. Wholesale republication of another outlet's work is prohibited.
