Editorial policy
How every TokenTrail page is drafted, sourced and checked — and how we handle corrections.
This page explains how TokenTrail content is produced. It applies to every guide, metric profile, glossary entry and calculator on the site.
Who drafts TokenTrail pages?#
Pages are drafted and fact-checked with the help of AI models. Those models work only from a fixed library of sources stored with the project, and every document in that library is listed on our sources page. We say this plainly because you should know how what you are reading was made.
Which sources do we use?#
| Grade | What it includes | What we use it for |
|---|---|---|
| A — primary | Protocol specifications, client source code, regulators, official protocol documentation, original authors | Rules, figures, dates and definitions |
| B — expert secondary | Explanations by recognised specialists, such as data providers describing how they calculate a metric | Explanation and context |
How are facts cited?#
Every factual claim that contains a number, a date or a rule carries an inline citation. The citation links to the source list at the bottom of the page, where each source is shown with its grade, so you can see at a glance whether a figure comes from a primary document.
How is a page checked before it is published?#
- Draft from the library
The page is drafted only from sources in the fixed library, with a citation added as each claim is written.
- Re-check by a separate pass
A separate pass that did not write the page re-checks every number, date, rule and quotation against the source it cites.
- Compute examples in code
Worked examples are computed in code rather than by hand. When an example uses made-up inputs, they are labelled as hypothetical.
- Treat thresholds as conventions
Where analysts use thresholds for a metric, such as a level they read as “high”, we present them as conventions, not rules.
What does TokenTrail not do?#
- We give no investment, tax or legal advice.
- We recommend no asset, exchange, wallet product or service.
- We carry no ads, affiliate links, sponsored content, paid placements or token promotions — see how we are funded.
Where do images come from?#
Photos come from Openverse and are used under CC0, the Public Domain Mark, CC BY or CC BY-SA; each one is credited under the image. Token logos come from the open-source cryptocurrency-icons set (CC0) and are shown for identification only — logos are trademarks of their owners.
How do corrections work?#
If you find an error, please report it through the contact form and choose “Report an error”. Include the page address and, if you can, the source that contradicts us. When a page is corrected, its updated date in the page’s structured data changes, and the correction is listed in the log below.
