The editorial
standards we're held to

Every person listed on this masthead has agreed to abide by CryptoFox's editorial standards, conflict of interest policy, and corrections protocol. Conflicts are self-declared, reviewed annually by the Editor-in-Chief, and published here in plain language.

Conflict of interest

Disclose or recuse

Any crypto holding relevant to a story must be disclosed to the editor before filing. Staff must recuse themselves from stories where they have a financial interest.

Source protection

Confidentiality guaranteed

Confidential sources are never revealed without explicit consent. We do not co-operate with attempts to identify anonymous sources except where legally compelled.

AI use

Human authors, always

AI tools may assist in research and editing, but every published article is written and signed off by a named human journalist on this masthead.

Corrections

Prompt, public, named

Factual errors are corrected with a labeled note on the article, dated and describing what was changed. The corrections editor's contact is published on every article.

Commercial separation

Advertising has no voice

Advertisers have no access to the editorial team, no advance knowledge of stories, and no ability to influence coverage decisions, directly or indirectly.

Airdrop & incentives
