Editorial Policy
Last updated: September 18, 2026
Block Digest is committed to transparency about how our market analysis, news coverage, educational content, and proprietary indicators are produced. This policy explains our sourcing standards, use of automation and AI, correction practices, and commercial disclosures.
1. Content Production
Block Digest operates a partially automated research and publishing workflow. Different content types use different inputs and review steps, but our core principle is the same: market claims should be grounded in identifiable data or source material rather than generated from unsupported assumptions.
Automated systems may collect data, prepare charts, organize source material, draft text, and publish scheduled content. We also use AI-assisted tools to support research, summarization, structured analysis, and drafting.
AI output is not treated as a primary source. Factual claims should be supported by market data, public records, or identifiable external reporting. Automated quality checks and editorial safeguards are used throughout the workflow, with manual review where appropriate.
2. Market Data & Research Sources
Depending on the article or indicator, Block Digest may use:
- Binance market data — Price, OHLCV, funding rates, and long/short positioning data.
- CoinGecko — Cryptocurrency price and market data, including site ticker inputs.
- Alternative.me — Fear & Greed Index data used as market context.
- Public news and primary sources — Current reporting, official announcements, company statements, regulatory publications, and other publicly available materials.
- Technical indicators — Metrics such as RSI, MACD, OBV, Bollinger Band positioning, volume, and related market-derived indicators.
Source availability varies by content type. We do not describe technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, or OBV as on-chain data unless the underlying metric is actually derived from blockchain activity.
3. News Standards
Crypto News articles are intended to summarize material developments quickly and clearly. We aim to distinguish confirmed facts from interpretation and avoid presenting rumor, anonymous speculation, or unsupported market narratives as established fact.
Where practical, we prefer primary sources and identifiable reporting. We avoid unnecessary reproduction of source text and aim to summarize information in Block Digest’s own words while linking to relevant sources.
4. Market Analysis Standards
Market analysis is based on structured inputs such as price action, trend structure, momentum, volume, derivatives positioning, funding conditions, volatility, and market breadth or dominance metrics. Analysis reflects conditions available at the time of publication and may become outdated as markets move.
We do not guarantee future market outcomes. Scenario analysis, directional language, and risk assessments are interpretations of current data, not promises or trading instructions.
5. Proprietary Indicators
BD Pulse and the BD Extreme Index are proprietary Block Digest indicators. Their purpose is to summarize market conditions using a repeatable methodology. They are informational tools and should not be interpreted as buy, sell, or timing signals.
The methodology may be refined over time as we test data quality, weighting, normalization, or historical behavior. Material methodology changes should be documented where appropriate.
6. Accuracy & Corrections
Crypto markets move quickly, and automated workflows can introduce errors. We do not guarantee that every price, level, chart, or statement will remain current after publication.
If we identify a material factual error, we aim to correct it promptly. Readers may report possible errors to [email protected].
7. AI & Automation Disclosure
Block Digest uses AI and automation as production tools. These systems may assist with data processing, chart generation, source summarization, drafting, formatting, and scheduled publishing.
We do not represent AI-generated text as independent reporting or firsthand knowledge. AI-assisted content remains subject to the same sourcing, accuracy, and correction standards described on this page.
8. Commercial Independence
Block Digest may publish articles that discuss or evaluate exchanges, platforms, tools, or other companies. Unless explicitly disclosed otherwise, these articles are produced independently and are not paid placements or sponsored content.
Block Digest may display third-party advertising, such as Google AdSense, in the future. Advertising relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions, proprietary indicator values, or market analysis.
Investment disclaimer: All Block Digest content, including news, analysis, charts, educational material, BD Pulse, and BD Extreme Index, is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice.
9. Policy Updates
This policy may be updated as our data sources, publishing systems, or editorial processes change. The revision date at the top of the page reflects the latest substantive update.
