Fact-Checking Policy
Our comprehensive verification and fact-checking process ensures accuracy in cryptocurrency news reporting and analysis.
Verification First
Every claim, statistic, and piece of information in our articles goes through rigorous fact-checking before publication. We believe accuracy is the foundation of trust.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Source Verification
All information is traced back to its original source. We verify the credibility and authenticity of every source before using their information.
Multiple Source Confirmation
Important claims are verified through at least two independent sources. We cross-reference information across multiple reliable outlets.
Blockchain Verification
For cryptocurrency-specific claims, we verify information directly on the blockchain using block explorers and on-chain data.
Expert Consultation
Complex technical claims are reviewed by cryptocurrency experts, developers, and industry professionals before publication.
Final Editorial Review
