Editorial Independence

Our editorial team operates with complete independence bereft of any commercial interests. Neither advertisers, sponsors, nor any external parties have influence over our editorial content, news coverage or opinion pieces. Editorial decisions and disagreements are made and resolved internally, with no external influence.

Editors and reporters also may never accept payment or consideration in any form and in any method from any company or individual for special coverage or preferential treatment. This includes instrumentalities like giveaways. 

Journalistic Standards

We maintain a rigorous fact-checking process to ensure all information published is accurate and verifiably so. Our journalists verify information through multiple reliable sources before publishing, with particular attention to technical details about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Our sources include data providers, blockchain explorers, and established financial publications. All factual errors in published articles will be corrected at the earliest point upon their discovery. 

Concerning our sources, we will cite and attribute them clearly to our readers. We strive to maintain transparency and will clarify how and why stories were developed. However, as standard journalistic practice mandates, we do not reveal the identities of sources who speak to us on the condition of anonymity or pseudonymity and will accord a necessary disclaimer for those articles. 

Disclosure and Restrictions Policy for Journalists

All journalists are expected to perform their duties in accordance with the highest standards of professional ethics, integrity, and accountability, in line with both internal editorial guidelines and applicable legal frameworks. In accordance with our editorial policy and in line with applicable media ethics under UAE laws, particularly those aimed at ensuring impartiality and transparency in reporting, journalists who hold shares or any financial interest in a cryptocurrency company shall not be assigned to cover that company or its related projects. This is to avoid any actual or perceived conflict of interest and to uphold the integrity of our reporting. 

Any violation of this policy by our journalists will result in strict internal disciplinary action, in accordance with company procedures. Additionally, any content found to be in breach of these standards may be subject to immediate review and removal. 

Social Media Policy

We operate through multiple official social media handles. Any communication made through these handles is representative of the values and thoughts of our company, and as such we are responsible to uphold high standards of professionalism and decency.

However, we take no responsibility for whatever opinions or communications of our journalists on their personal social media as those views are their own. However, if they are actively conveying or promoting hateful content and/or misinformation, internal action may be taken against them. 

Advertising and Sponsored Content Policy

Advertising is one of the sources of revenue for our Website. We will not advertise cryptocurrency tokens that are actively seeking investment, and otherwise we will require evidence showing compliance with corresponding laws and regulations. We ensure that such advertisements do not have any bearing on our articles and editorial decisions. 

We may also publish sponsored content on our platform. We will clearly label the content as such and separate it from our editorial content on our Website and ensure that it is written by a different team. Any sponsored relationship will have no bearing on our editorial content and decision-making. 

We may cover certain industry events, where we maintain our editorial independence regardless of any hospitality or services provided by the organizer. Our coverage and decisions are based solely on news value and public interest.

Artificial Intelligence Policy

We may use Artificial Intelligence to research and write content. We provide clear disclosure of their use and ensure that it is thoroughly checked and edited by a human hand. AI will only be used as tools to assist writing/research and will not replace any human judgement/oversight on our Website.
