The ArkonBit editorial policy explains how our explainers are researched, drawn, checked and corrected. It applies to every guide, calculator page and glossary entry on the site.
Sources under the ArkonBit editorial policy
We prefer primary sources: regulator rulebooks, consultation papers and warning lists; exchange and index-provider rules and methodologies; protocol documentation and developer references; and issuer disclosures such as stablecoin reserve reports. Where a page relies on a specific rule, figure or date, the source is named at the foot of the page. We do not link out, so names are given in full to make them easy to find.
We avoid using price forecasts, promotional material or anonymous social media claims as evidence.
How a page is made
From question to published page
- QuestionStart from what a beginner actually needs to know.
- ResearchGather primary sources and note what could change.
- DraftWrite a first version, with AI assistance.
- Diagram and sumsDraw the mechanism and recalculate every number.
- EditA human editor checks facts, tone and risk wording.
Drafts are produced with the help of AI writing tools. No page is published until a human editor has checked every factual claim against its source, recalculated every worked example and confirmed that risk warnings are present where they belong. Worked examples use round numbers and are labelled as illustrative.
Diagrams and numbers
Diagrams on ArkonBit show mechanisms, not predictions. Bar charts are drawn to scale from the numbers printed beside them, and each carries a note saying whether the figures are fixed rules or illustrative. We do not draw price forecasts, projected returns or charts of performance we cannot source. Where a figure depends on market conditions, such as a network fee or a spread, we either give an illustrative value and label it, or describe the range in words.
Risk wording
Every page that discusses leverage, derivatives or crypto-assets carries a visible risk note. We describe risks in plain terms, including the possibility of losing all the money involved, and we avoid language that makes trading sound easy, fast or certain.
Independence
ArkonBit is not an exchange, broker, wallet or adviser, and it has no paid placements or affiliate arrangements with trading platforms. We do not rank or recommend real companies or specific coins. If the site ever carries a commercial relationship, it will be disclosed clearly on every affected page before it starts.
What we never do
- Invent statistics, testimonials, reviews, credentials or people.
- Publish price predictions or claims of guaranteed returns.
- Offer accounts, trading, signals, downloads or bonuses.
- Contact readers about investments, or ask for keys, phrases or passwords.
Dates and updates
Each guide shows the date it was last updated. We change that date only when the content has actually been reviewed or corrected, not to make a page look fresh. Facts that are especially time-sensitive, such as a regulatory change or a halving date, are written with the date or period they refer to, so a reader can judge whether they may have moved on.
Corrections and reviews
If you find an error, tell us through the contact page. Factual corrections are made as quickly as we can verify them, and the page's update date changes. Pages that depend on rules or limits likely to change are reviewed on a regular schedule and whenever a relevant rule changes.
