# Editorial scope

Chainlore covers cryptocurrencies, blockchains, and related protocols.

## Coverage

Articles describe a subject's history, technical design, supply,
governance, and documented incidents. Fact tables include dates,
specifications, chain IDs, and contracts where relevant. Timelines record
events in chronological order.

## Sources

Factual claims should be traceable to references. Preferred sources include
whitepapers, specifications, official documentation, governance proposals,
and onchain records. Claims made by a project's developers should be
attributed to them.

Figures that change frequently, such as price, market capitalization, and
total value locked, are linked to live sources rather than presented as
current figures in article text.

## Editorial policy

- Describe incidents, exploits, and controversies alongside launches and upgrades.
- Distinguish documented facts from claims, estimates, and disputed accounts.
- Record an update date and review status for each article.
- Exclude price predictions, sponsored listings, and affiliate links.
- Use factual prose without slogans, promotional claims, or decorative bold emphasis.

Articles are written with AI. Authorship and review status are described
on the [about page](ABOUT.md).
