In crypto, an error in a contract address, a TVL figure, or a reorg datapoint can translate into real losses for a reader. That is why our corrections policy is aggressive on speed and conservative on transparency.
When we publish a factual error, we correct it as fast as possible and leave the correction visible at the bottom of the affected article, with a timestamp. We do not silently edit, we do not delete posts to hide errors, and we do not replace content without a change note.
We distinguish three levels. Clarification: the content was technically correct but ambiguous; we add context. Minor correction: figure, date, or secondary attribution error; updated in-line with a footnote. Major correction: an error that changes the conclusion of the piece, an incorrect contract address, or a wrongly attributed exploit; we add a visible banner at the top of the article in addition to the footnote, and we notify via RSS.
Corrections to on-chain data, chain reorgs, or smart-contract exploit attribution are handled within hours, not days. Contract and wallet addresses are double-checked on every correction because a typo costs real money to a reader who copies and pastes.
If you spotted an error, send an email to corrections@chainpulse.news with the article URL, the exact fragment you believe is wrong, and where possible a link to the correct source (a block explorer, an official announcement, or an on-chain data dashboard). We respond to every report, even when after review we conclude the original content was correct.
When an entire story turned out to be based on information that was false or unverifiable, we retract it: the original content is replaced with a timestamped retraction note explaining what was claimed, why it was wrong, and what is known now. The URL is not deleted, to avoid breaking external links.
