Editorial Standards
Editorial Standards
Defiliban is built to be useful to serious DeFi readers. That requires consistent attribution, category discipline, correction rules, and a visible separation between editorial judgment and commercial content.
Accuracy and attribution
Writers and editors should attribute factual claims to named sources, linked documentation, or directly observable data whenever available.
Loaded language, unsupported certainty, and context-free price commentary should be avoided in favor of evidence-backed framing.
Independence
Editorial coverage should not be sold, guaranteed, or shaped by sponsors in a way that changes factual conclusions.
Commercial relationships must not override correction duties, disclosure duties, or labeling duties.
Labeling rules
Sponsored articles and press releases must be clearly identified before a reader enters the body of the article.
Editorial content, partner content, and official announcements should not be presented as the same content type.
Corrections policy
Material errors should be corrected promptly. Smaller edits for clarity or formatting may be made without a standalone correction note.
When an update changes the substance of the article, the revised version should reflect that through updated timestamps and clearer wording.
