Standards and corrections

What you can hold us to.

Sourcing

Stories link the sources they draw on. We give more weight to official and primary sources such as regulators and exchange or protocol notices than to commentary about them, and a claim resting on a single weak source is labeled as unconfirmed or left out.

Every story carries one of three labels. Verified means the story was checked against two or more independent sources. Verified, primary source means it rests on one source that is the record itself: the company's or the regulator's own notice, a filing, a court record, or the blockchain, and that source is listed first. Unconfirmed, one report means only one outlet has reported it so far. It never carries the word Verified and is never the day's checked story.

Verification

Stories are checked against the sources they cite by a pass separate from the one that assembled them. Work that does not hold up is labeled clearly for the reader or held back. We would rather be slow than wrong.

Oversight

A human editor-in-chief oversees the desk, can hold or remove anything, and owns the opinion and analysis published here.

Not financial advice

We report events and explain what they may mean. We never advise buying or selling any asset. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we aim to fix it and say so on the story. If you spot an error, tell us and we will check it against the source. A correction is a feature of an honest desk, not a failure.

Not financial advice. GoCheckMyCrypto reports events and explains what they may mean. It never tells you to buy or sell anything. Do your own research.
