Editorial Policy & Standards

DEXTools News publishes original crypto and DeFi journalism. These standards govern how we source, verify, correct, and disclose across everything we publish.

How We Report and Source

Our reporting is built first on primary sources and on DEXTools' proprietary on-chain data used by traders. The publication verifies claims directly on-chain when feasible rather than depending on indirect sources.

External reporting and market data receive proper attribution with links for reader verification. The team distinguishes between confirmed facts, estimates, and unverified information in developing stories.

Verification and Fact-Checking

Articles undergo human editorial review and fact-checking before being published. Security incidents and financial figures are attributed to their sources rather than presented as unverified claims.

Headlines align with article content without exaggeration. Unconfirmed details are either excluded or marked as unverified.

Our Authors and Expertise

Every piece displays a named byline linking to author profiles detailing their focus areas and history. Contributors bring specialized knowledge in decentralized finance, on-chain analysis, token launches, safety assessments, exchanges, and market structure.

Reader-facing profiles include public links enabling evaluation of writer credentials.

Use of AI and Automation

Automation and data tools support market monitoring and research, yet every published article is subject to human editorial judgement, review, and fact-checking.

Machine-generated content does not publish without review, and the team maintains responsibility for all published work.

Corrections Policy

The publication corrects errors quickly and visibly. Material corrections trigger article updates with change notation and modified dates. Minor typographical corrections may proceed without notation.

Readers can report suspected inaccuracies via the contact page for prompt review.

Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

Contributors manage and disclose conflicts of interest. Payment arrangements influencing coverage direction are prohibited. Writer holdings receive disclosure when conflicts could arise.

All sponsored arrangements get labeled accordingly. Editorial coverage remains unpaid placement.

Advertising and Sponsored Content

The publication accepts advertising with sponsored content clearly distinguished and separated from independent reporting. Advertisers cannot influence editorial decisions or story selection.

Not Financial Advice

Nothing we publish is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. The coverage remains educational regarding volatile, high-risk assets.

Readers should conduct independent research and consult licensed professionals before financial decisions.

Ownership and Funding

DEXTools News operates under STRADEXT DEFI SOLUTIONS, S.L., incorporated in Spain. Founded in 2020, the publication receives funding from DEXTools and advertising.

The newsroom is run separately from the commercial and product teams, maintaining editorial independence despite shared ownership.
