Blockyr is committed to delivering accurate, fair, and useful coverage of Bitcoin, Ripple, Real World Assets (RWA), and the broader crypto and blockchain industry. These guidelines outline the standards our team follows when researching, writing, and publishing content — and the principles that govern how we operate as a publication.
1. Accuracy & Fact-Checking
Every article published on Blockyr is checked against primary sources — official announcements, on-chain data, court filings, whitepapers, or statements from verified project representatives — before it goes live. We do not publish speculation as fact, and we clearly label analysis, opinion, and price predictions as such.
2. Independence
Blockyr’s editorial team operates independently of any exchange, token project, or blockchain foundation. No company, project, or advertiser influences the content of our news coverage, guides, or analysis. Coverage decisions are made solely based on newsworthiness and relevance to our readers.
3. Sponsored Content & Advertising Disclosure
Blockyr may publish sponsored articles, press releases, or partner content. Any such content is clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Press Release,” or “Partner Content” at the top of the article. Sponsored content never appears in our news, analysis, or guide sections without disclosure, and paid placements do not affect our editorial coverage elsewhere on the site.
4. Conflicts of Interest
Crypto is an industry where personal holdings can create potential conflicts of interest. Where a writer or contributor holds a financial position in an asset or project discussed in an article, this will be disclosed within the piece. Writers are expected to avoid covering projects in which they have an undisclosed material financial interest.
5. Sourcing Standards
We prioritize primary and verifiable sources, including:
- Official project announcements and documentation
- On-chain data and blockchain explorers
- Regulatory filings and court records
- Statements from named, verifiable individuals
- Reputable financial and technology news outlets
Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when the information is significant and cannot reasonably be verified another way. Rumors, unverified social media posts, and unconfirmed leaks are not reported as fact.
6. Corrections Policy
We take accuracy seriously, and mistakes will happen. When an error is identified:
- Factual errors are corrected as soon as possible after verification
- Significant corrections are noted at the bottom of the article with a timestamp
- Readers can report suspected errors via our Contact page
7. Not Financial Advice
Content published on Blockyr — including news, guides, and analysis — is for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this site should be interpreted as financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Readers should conduct their own research and consult a licensed professional before making financial decisions.
8. Use of AI Tools
Blockyr may use AI-assisted tools to support research, drafting, or editing workflows. All content is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by our editorial team before publication, and final editorial judgment always rests with a human editor.
9. Respectful & Responsible Coverage
We avoid sensationalized headlines that misrepresent a story’s content, and we do not promote unverified projects, scams, or schemes. Coverage of hacks, exploits, and security incidents is handled responsibly, without publishing information that could facilitate further harm.
