Editorial Policy
CoinLive editorial standards for sourcing, attribution, updates, AI use, and independence.
Last updated July 22, 2026
Core standard
Accuracy before speed
Source priority
Primary sources first
Disclosure rule
Opinion, sponsorship, and updates must be clear
Accuracy and sourcing
We aim to verify factual claims through official filings, protocol announcements, exchange notices, chain data, court records, and direct statements wherever possible.
If a claim cannot yet be independently confirmed, we label that uncertainty plainly instead of overstating confidence.
Attribution and context
We identify the source of material claims and provide readers enough context to understand why a development matters, what is still unknown, and what assumptions are being made.
- Quotes should be attributed to their original speaker or publisher
- Market commentary should distinguish observation from prediction
- Technical claims should link back to primary documentation when feasible
Updates, revisions, and live stories
Crypto stories can change quickly. We update pieces when new evidence materially changes the facts, the implications, or the framing.
Substantive post-publication changes should be reflected transparently through correction notes or update notes where appropriate.
Sponsored content, conflicts, and AI use
Sponsored, partner, or promotional material should be labeled in a way that is understandable to readers before they mistake it for independent editorial judgment.
We may use AI-assisted tools for drafting support, workflow acceleration, or research triage, but human review remains responsible for publication decisions, factual checks, and final copy.
