Editorial Policy

How content is selected, reviewed, updated, and corrected on this site.

Last updated: 2026-06-27

Scope

This site publishes educational material about blockchain history, major protocols, influential people, and turning points in the broader crypto industry. Coverage prioritizes historical and explanatory value over novelty.

Editorial Standards

When preparing or revising a page, the goal is to make it:

  • historically structured,
  • understandable to non-specialists,
  • consistent in terminology,
  • and useful as a starting point for deeper research.

Pages may include interpretation, but they should avoid presenting speculation as settled fact.

Sources and Verification

Whenever possible, the site relies on a mix of:

  • protocol papers and technical documentation,
  • project archives and public statements,
  • reputable reporting,
  • and widely documented historical timelines.

If a topic is disputed, the page should reflect that uncertainty rather than force a false consensus.

Updates and Corrections

Content is updated when material errors are found, context improves, or later events materially change the framing of a topic. Smaller wording corrections may be made without a separate announcement. Substantive revisions should be reflected in the page update date.

Independence

The editorial goal of this site is educational clarity. The site is not structured around token promotion, paid rankings, or sponsored reviews of protocols, projects, or personalities.
