Editorial policy

How we decide what to write

One test: will somebody new to this actually run into it? No chasing news, no market analysis, no coin reviews.

Which is why you find "why the same USDT is not interchangeable across chains" here rather than "will this coin go up next week". We do not know the answer to the second one, and we do not believe anyone else does either.

How we handle facts

• Protocol-level facts are stated directly — Bitcoin producing a block roughly every ten minutes, Ethereum running on roughly twelve-second slots. Those are stable.
• Platform fees, limits and terms are never fixed in text — they change. We describe the rules and the structure, and always say to check the exchange's current page for numbers. It is why you rarely see a rate quoted to several decimal places here.
• No invented statistics or case studies — no "we have served X users", no fabricated timestamps down to the minute, no faked screenshots or transaction records.
• Screenshots are dated — every product interface screenshot notes the month it was captured. Interfaces change, and old screenshots stop matching, so they are re-checked as part of updates.

What part AI plays

Being specific here, because vagueness would be pointless.

We use AI tools during production, mainly for drafting, structuring and checking phrasing. Topic selection, judgements, positions and fact-checking are the editors' responsibility, not the tool's. Anything covering rules, risks or procedural steps is checked line by line by an editor before publication.

We do not think "was AI involved" is the interesting question. Whether the content is accurate and useful is. So our standard is this: if we cannot stand behind a sentence's accuracy ourselves, it does not belong on the site.

Bylines and identity

Articles are signed "Cen Yun", a pen name representing the editorial team rather than an individual.

The reasoning is straightforward: an invented professional history cannot be verified by readers, and if it were exposed it would be worse than having none. What we can offer is the content itself — whether it is correct, whether it is useful, whether it can be checked.

First-person statements in articles ("what I do", "I barely use this feature") describe the editorial team's own habits and trade-offs. They are not advice and not a promise of anything.

How commercial content is handled

The site has referral income, described in full on the disclosure page. Editorially:

• Coded links appear only where a reader is genuinely about to act — the sign-up guide — which is one place in total. Informational pages carry none.
• Informational articles, tool pages and compliance pages carry no coded links.
• Citations of an exchange's help centre or fee pages use plain links without a code.
• Risk warnings are not softened for commercial reasons, and no promissory language about returns is used.
• No paid reviews, sponsored content or placement fees are accepted.

When we get something wrong

Confirmed errors are corrected promptly and logged on the corrections page with the date, the location and what changed. Published entries are not deleted.

If an error could have affected what a reader did — a step that has since changed, for instance — we add a note in a visible place in the article rather than quietly editing it.

What we do not do

• No investment advice, no recommendations on what to buy, no price forecasts.
• No custody of funds, no operating accounts for anyone, no requests for account details.
• We never contact readers first and never approach anyone on social platforms in this site's name.
