Editorial Standards

Our Editorial Independence Policy

All sponsored content on Decentralized Finance is clearly labeled as "Sponsored Research" or "Presented By." Advertisers do not influence our independent editorial coverage, protocol ratings, or analytical conclusions. Paid placement does not guarantee positive coverage.

We do not accept advertising from projects we have reviewed negatively in our editorial content, nor from projects under active regulatory investigation. All advertisers are subject to our due diligence process before a partnership is confirmed.

Sponsored Research pieces are co-produced with our editorial team to meet our quality standards. Draft approval rights are limited to factual accuracy — editorial framing and conclusions remain at our discretion.
