A)Purpose + Scope

Purpose

Our purpose is to ensure ethical, consistent, and trustworthy content by maintaining accuracy, fairness, and clarity. We also aim to protect readers from misinformation and maintain transparency.

Scope

Our policy applies to staff writers, editors, guest authors, advertising partners, and contributors. This includes anyone involved in the creation, editing, publication, or promotion of content on our platform, regardless of their role or level of involvement.

B)Editorial Independence & Sponsored Content

Editorial Independence

Our newsroom is run and operated by editors who have nothing to do with the advertorial or business part of the media. We keep these two separate to uphold independence and avoid conflict of interest.

Sponsored Content

We publish sponsored and paid content as well. Each paid content is clearly labeled ‘sponsored’ and ‘advertorial’. This builds transparency and helps readers understand the nature of the content being consumed by them.

C)Accuracy & Fact-Checking

Accuracy

Each article is deeply checked and reviewed by the expert editors in our team to ensure accuracy and source verification. We prioritize primary sources wherever possible and verify claims through multiple reliable references to minimize errors and misinterpretations.

Fact-Checking

Since the crypto industry is highly speculative, all the analytical articles that are published on our platform include clear source attribution. There is also a disclaimer stating that the opinions presented in the piece are strictly those of the analyst and not ours.

D)Corrections, Retractions & Updates

Corrections

Any correction made within an article is clearly acknowledged at the end of it. This points out what was previously written and what changes were made.

If any kind of errors or false reporting is found, the readers can report them by reaching out to us through the email listed on our contact us page.

We treat correction requests seriously and aim to resolve them in a timely and transparent manner.

Retractions & Updates

If an article contains severe flaws, inaccuracies, or any information that breaches our ethical standards and undermines our platform’s reliability and integrity, we retract it.

E)Ethical Standards + Conflict of Interest

Ethical Standards

No financial ties or partnerships are held by our writers and editors with any industry player. This ensures independence in our reporting.

Our editorial team is expected to uphold honesty, integrity, and professionalism in all reporting activities.

Conflict of Interest

We do not accept gifts or incentives from crypto companies and projects. In case of any affiliation or sponsorship program, it will be clearly stated to ensure there is complete transparency.

F)Anonymous Sources + Sensitive Topics

Anonymous Sources

Since not all sources prefer their names or identity to be publicly out there, we use anonymous sources as well. However, we do ensure that these sources have verifiable and direct information about the matter to maintain accuracy.

Sensitive Topics

We make sure to establish clear, accessible, and confidential reporting channels. This is where writers can voice their concerns without any fear of retaliation in case of reporting that involves possible reputation harm and fraud accusations.

G)Right to Reply (Request for Comment)

We provide companies with the right of reply by giving them ample time so that they can respond to queries before moving on to publication. This time frame goes up to 48 hours. In case we do not get any response, it is clearly stated in the article that “we reached out but got no response.” This ensures fairness and allows all parties to present their side of the story.

H)AI Use Policy

We may use AI tools for research work, gathering and processing a heavy volume of data. Wherever applicable, we label it within the article. This is done in order to correctly state what and where AI was used for. However, we do not make use of AI to create or spin articles. All the published articles are human-written and vetted to the highest ethical standard.

I)Plagiarism, Attribution & Media Use

Plagiarism

We use several plagiarism checker tools to ensure that all our articles are original. Any content found to be plagiarized is immediately rejected or removed.

Attribution & Media Use

We attribute third-party sources, data, quotes, and third-party media by clearly using the phrase “according to”. We also ensure that images, charts, and media assets are either licensed, original, or used with proper permission.

J)Legal & Compliance (Important for Crypto)

We strictly avoid reused and copyrighted materials in our reporting. Similarly, stories that defame individuals, companies, or projects are also avoided. All the stories that get published are strictly verified to ensure truthfulness.

We do not publish financial advice. The phrase “Not financial advice. DYOR.” is used as a reminder and warning to our readers. Our content is meant for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as investment, legal, or financial guidance.

K)Policy Updates

Our editor-in-chief occasionally reviews and updates our editorial policy to ensure up-to-date guidance. These reviews are carried out to reflect changes in industry standards, legal requirements, editorial best practices, and the evolving nature of the crypto and blockchain ecosystem.
