A screenshot can circulate faster than its source. Before treating a crypto announcement as established fact, work backwards to the original statement.
Find the original source
Check the project’s official site and documentation. Verify that a social account is linked from an established official domain. A lookalike name or a paid verification badge is not sufficient evidence.
Read the details
A proposal is different from an approved decision. A test network release is different from a production deployment. Describe the exact stage and include its date.
Keep a correction trail
If the source changes or an earlier report is wrong, update the article and explain the correction. This is a sample editorial guide, not a breaking-news report.
For educational purposes. Views should be assessed against their evidence and publication date.
