Editorial Guidelines

DeFi/liquidity-pool content is easy to get subtly wrong — either by overstating the risk to sound dramatic, or by understating it to make providing liquidity look like easy yield. These are the standards we hold ourselves to.

Sourcing

  • Mechanism claims (how AMMs price trades, how impermanent loss happens) are backed by documented protocol behavior and cited industry sources, linked inline where relevant.
  • We do not invent statistics, reviews, or business/token credentials.

Illustrative vs. real figures

Worked examples (like the constant-product-formula walkthrough or the impermanent-loss example) use round, hypothetical numbers explicitly labeled as illustrative — they are not live market data and should not be read as a claim about any specific pool’s current numbers.

No guaranteed-yield framing

We do not use language implying that providing liquidity is risk-free or that yield is guaranteed. Liquidity provision involves real risk — impermanent loss and smart-contract risk chief among them — and our content reflects that consistently.
