Editorial Policy
CryptoSlate follows a strict editorial policy guided by trust, transparency, objectivity, and quality sourcing.
Our editorial policy is engineered for independence. Every investigation, market insight, or explainer follows a transparent workflow that puts readers first.
Writers and editors located across time zones ensure 24/7 coverage.
Fact-checking, editorial review, and compliance sign-off for sensitive stories.
Mandatory disclosures and clear labeling for sponsored or opinion content.
Our Editorial Principles
The following pillars guide every stage of our reporting, from pitch to publication.
Commitment to Transparency
Every contributor discloses material holdings or relationships related to covered assets. Readers see those disclosures wherever relevant.
Rigorous Fact-Checking
Editors validate data sets, quotes, and claims before publication to maintain objectivity and eliminate bias.
High-Quality Sourcing
We cite reputable agencies, original documents, and on-the-record statements with links for full attribution.
Respectful Attribution
CryptoSlate writers are required to use properly licensed imagery and credit creators directly.
Clear Opinion Labels
Editorial and analysis pieces include prominent labels to distinguish them from news reporting.
Strict Advertising Standards
No guaranteed-return projects, deceptive marketing, or anonymous teams. Sponsored content is clearly identified.
Independent Ownership
CryptoSlate is independently operated in the United States with no control from crypto projects or protocols.
Proactive Corrections
We issue prompt updates when new facts emerge, maintaining changelogs so readers can track revisions over time.
