Editorial Policy
Last updated: May 2026
Independence
CipherDesk's newsroom operates independently from its commercial operations. Advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners have no input into news decisions, headlines, or article framing. Sponsored or affiliate-linked content is always clearly labeled with a "Sponsored" badge.
Accuracy & Verification
We verify claims against primary sources before publishing. Price data is sourced from CoinGecko. On-chain data is verified against public block explorers. Statements attributed to companies or individuals are sourced from official communications, press releases, or direct quotes.
Sources & Attribution
We name our sources wherever possible. Anonymous sourcing is used only when a source faces credible professional or legal risk from being identified. All anonymous sources are known to the editor. We do not publish unverified rumours.
Corrections
We correct factual errors promptly and transparently. Corrections are appended to the original article with a note explaining what was changed and when. Significant corrections affecting the substance of an article are also noted at the top. See our Corrections page for recent updates.
AI & Automation
CipherDesk uses AI tools to assist with research and drafting, but all published content is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human editor before going live. AI-assisted articles are disclosed in our AI Disclosure policy. We do not publish AI-generated text without editorial review.
Financial Content
Nothing published on CipherDesk constitutes financial or investment advice. Price analysis, market commentary, and opinion pieces are clearly framed as such. Readers should conduct their own research and consult a qualified financial adviser before making investment decisions.
Affiliate Links
Some articles and pages contain affiliate links to exchanges or crypto services. We earn a commission when readers sign up or transact through these links. This never influences which services we recommend or how we cover them editorially. All affiliate relationships are disclosed per our Affiliate Disclosure policy.
