A yield number quoted without a source is a rumour. This site covers assets whose headline figures move by the hour: total value locked in a lending protocol, a farm’s advertised APY, a vesting schedule, the fee a Layer-2 charged last week. Numbers like that are only worth reading if you can check them.
The link sits on the claim
Every statistic, dollar figure, date and named rule in an article carries a link on the words making the claim. Not a reading list at the bottom of the page, and not a vague nod to a data site. If a piece says a protocol holds a given amount, the amount itself is the link, and it goes to the page the amount was read from. One click, from the sentence you doubt to the thing it rests on.
Straight to the origin
Where a number comes from a protocol’s own documentation, a foundation’s published report, a regulatory filing, a chain explorer or a survey’s own release, that is what gets cited, rather than an outlet writing it up. Aggregators are convenient. They also add a step where a figure can go stale or lose its qualifications, and the reader cannot see that from the outside.
Arithmetic done in the open
Some figures here are calculated rather than quoted: a ratio between two chains, a return annualised, one project’s share of a sector. When that happens the article shows the workings and links the inputs, not the result. If you think the answer is wrong you can see which input you disagree with, and swap it for your own.
Charts are measurements
Charts are built from stored public series that refresh on a schedule, so a line on this site is the recorded number rather than a shape drawn to fit an argument. Each one names the source it pulls from and carries the date of the data behind it. A chart with no date is a chart asking to be believed.
Errors, and what happens to them
Corrections are made on the page that was wrong. The article is not quietly rewritten and passed off as what it always said; a revised page states when it was last updated. This matters more in crypto than in most subjects, because a figure that was accurate in January can mislead badly by March, and the honest fix is to say so in public.
If you have found a mistake, a misread APY, a link pointing at the wrong contract, a date that does not match the source, please send it through the contact page. Include the article and the sentence if you can. Corrections that turn out to be right get made.
Bylines and money
Every article names the person who wrote it. A byline means someone is answerable for the sourcing above, which is the only reason a byline is worth anything.
There are no affiliate links on this site, no advertising and no sponsored content. Nobody pays to be included in a memecoin roundup, a DeFi risk piece or a list of AI tokens, and no token project has any say in what appears here or how it is described. Should that ever change, the arrangement would be disclosed on the page it affected, in the article itself rather than in a policy footnote nobody reads.
