CryptoSlate first went live in December 2017, aiming to offer comprehensive insights into the evolving world of crypto and decentralized finance.

Our team spans across continents, including the United States, Europe and Asia.

CryptoSlate is a for-profit crypto media and data company. Revenue may come from advertising, sponsored content, directory listings, affiliate relationships, newsletters, podcast features, custom campaigns, and other media products. Paid relationships are disclosed where relevant, and CryptoSlate does not sell higher editorial rankings, guaranteed coverage, or favorable review scores.

We follow a rigorous editorial policy emphasizing trust, transparency, and journalistic integrity. To learn more about how we uphold these values, visit our editorial policy page.

We are not a pay-to-play publication, and the majority of our reporting is published organically based on market relevance and reader interest.

We do, however, offer paid coverage in the form of Sponsored Articles, which are clearly labeled so readers can easily distinguish them from independent reporting.

Our organic editorial coverage is determined solely by what we believe is in our readers’ best interest to know. This means we do not publish most commercial announcements as editorial content.

As part of our editorial focus, our ongoing asset coverage is primarily centered on Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana, along with macro trends, regulation, and politics. Coverage outside of this scope is generally not prioritized organically.

If a commercial request falls outside our editorial scope, we typically decline. In select cases, we may recommend a Sponsored Article or explore a mutually beneficial commercial partnership to support coverage that would not otherwise be prioritized editorially.

If you are interested in discussing further, please reach out to us via our Help & Support page.

All Sponsored Articles are permanently hosted and indexed for SEO visibility. They remain accessible through CryptoSlate’s archives indefinitely.

The best campaign depends on the goal. Launch-focused projects often benefit from Sponsored Articles, Newsletter Spotlight, social distribution, and launch bundles. Exchanges, wallets, cards, and platforms usually benefit from a mix of display advertising, Featured Reviews, directory visibility, and category-specific placements. Infrastructure projects may be better suited for Educational Guide Series, Project Reports, or thought leadership content that explains the product category in more depth. CryptoSlate can recommend the right mix based on audience, budget, timing, and campaign goals.

Typical assets include campaign goals, target URL, preferred copy, brand guidelines, logos, product screenshots, disclosure requirements, tracking links, and any legal or compliance notes. Final requirements depend on the selected placement.

Launch timing depends on the campaign type, asset readiness, review requirements, and CryptoSlate’s editorial and advertising calendar. Sponsored content usually moves fastest when all assets, URLs, and approvals are provided upfront.

Yes, depending on the campaign package. CryptoSlate may help write, edit, format, or structure campaign content, while ensuring sponsored or collaborative material remains clearly labeled.

Campaign reports may include metrics such as impressions, clicks, click-through rate, placement dates, newsletter sends, social distribution, and other agreed delivery data. Available metrics depend on the campaign format.

Yes. Campaigns can often combine display ads, newsletter placements, sponsored content, social distribution, directory listings, and custom placements. Bundles should be scoped with CryptoSlate’s partnerships team.

A Project Report is a deeper brand or project profile; a Featured Review focuses on a product or service evaluation; an Educational Guide Series is designed to explain a topic, product category, or user journey over multiple pieces of content.

CryptoSlate may support custom campaign landing pages or hubs for larger partnerships, depending on scope, timeline, and available production resources. Custom pages should be scoped before campaign launch.

Editorial coverage is produced independently by CryptoSlate based on newsworthiness, reader interest, market relevance, and available sourcing. Sponsored content is paid commercial content and is clearly labeled. Collaborative Content may involve CryptoSlate working with a partner on structure, editing, research, or production, but it is still disclosed when a commercial relationship exists.

Yes. Sponsored Articles are reviewed before publication for formatting, basic quality, disclosure, and policy compliance. CryptoSlate may reject or request changes to content that is misleading, unlawful, deceptive, or inconsistent with site standards.

No. Sponsored content should not include guaranteed returns, misleading investment claims, unsupported price predictions, or language that could confuse readers about financial risk. Claims must be supportable and may be edited or rejected.

CryptoSlate labels paid content so readers can clearly distinguish commercial material from independent editorial coverage. Labels may include sponsored, promoted, advertisement, or similar disclosure language depending on the placement. This is also required as U.S. operating company subject to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advertising disclosure laws.

No. Advertisers cannot remove, hide, or weaken required sponsorship disclosures. Clear labeling is part of CryptoSlate’s commitment to transparency and reader trust.

CryptoSlate may reject advertisers or campaigns that promote illegal activity, scams, deceptive claims, malware, market manipulation, guaranteed returns, or products that conflict with site standards. All campaigns are subject to review.

CryptoSlate may publish informational reviews or directory content about high-risk or regulated product categories, but commercial campaigns in these verticals are subject to stricter review and may be declined. CryptoSlate does not accept campaigns that are illegal, misleading, improperly targeted, or unsuitable for the site’s audience.

Paid relationships are disclosed through labels, placement context, disclaimers, or page-level notes where relevant. CryptoSlate aims to make commercial relationships clear to readers before they engage with the content or offer.

CryptoSlate evaluates products using a defined ranking methodology that considers factors such as product features, user experience, security, fees, market availability, transparency, reputation, and risk disclosures. Rankings may vary by product category and jurisdiction. The methodology is designed to help readers compare options, not to provide investment, legal, or financial advice.

CryptoSlate sends regular newsletters, including daily market-moving headlines, editor picks, and selected features. Frequency may vary by newsletter product, market activity, and reader preferences.

The edit log shows notable updates made after publication, such as changes to features, availability, scoring, methodology notes, or disclosure language. It helps readers see when a review was last materially changed and why.

A Verified label means CryptoSlate has taken additional steps to confirm key listing or product details. It does not mean CryptoSlate endorses the company or guarantees accuracy, safety, solvency, or future performance.

In some cases, CryptoSlate may earn referral or affiliate compensation when readers click links or sign up with partners. These relationships are disclosed where relevant. Readers do not pay extra because of those links.

No. Affiliate relationships do not determine review scores, rankings, or editorial conclusions. Rankings are intended to follow the published methodology, with disclosures added when a commercial relationship exists.

Availability, fees, product features, and promotions may differ by country, region, or U.S. state. CryptoSlate may include jurisdiction notes or restrictions in reviews, but readers should always confirm eligibility directly with the provider before signing up.

Companies can request corrections by contacting CryptoSlate with specific evidence, including the page URL, the item they believe is incorrect, and documentation supporting the correction. CryptoSlate reviews requests and may update the page when the correction is verified.

Restricted-geo warnings highlight products or promotions that may not be available in certain locations. These warnings are included to reduce confusion and help readers avoid services that may be unavailable or unsuitable in their jurisdiction.

We currently have a six to 12-month waiting period for listing new assets due to high demand. For expedited 24-hour listings, our Priority Service is available. Please visit our Help & Support for details.

Notable individuals in the blockchain and crypto sphere can be listed for free. For companies and products, you can learn more about the listing opportunities on our advertising page.

To update an existing listing, send CryptoSlate the listing URL, the specific fields that need changes, and supporting documentation. Updates may include company details, product features, team members, links, descriptions, or category changes.

Report the page URL, the affected metric, the expected value, the observed value, and a source that supports the correction. Market data can vary between providers, so CryptoSlate may investigate before making changes.

CryptoSlate sources market data from third-party providers, exchanges, public project information, and other sources where applicable. Sources may vary by asset, exchange, or data type.

Prices, volumes, supply figures, and market caps can differ across crypto data sites because providers use different exchange coverage, aggregation methods, liquidity filters, supply definitions, and update intervals.

Projects can request removal or changes by contacting CryptoSlate with the listing URL and reason for the request. CryptoSlate reviews removal requests case by case and may preserve public-interest information when appropriate.

No. Some listings are based on public information, third-party data, or project submissions. A listing does not imply endorsement. When CryptoSlate applies a Verified label, it means additional checks were performed.

Categories are assigned based on a project’s stated purpose, product functionality, market role, and available public information. Categories may be updated when a project changes direction or when CryptoSlate improves its taxonomy.

CryptoSlate follows a strict editorial policy guided by trust, transparency, objectivity, and quality sourcing. For more information, please see here.

Please be careful anytime a journalist reaches out to you, as people are posing as CryptoSlate journalists to conduct phishing scams.

An official CryptoSlate journalist will always send an email from the cryptoslate.com email domain. Any other email domain used is a scam and should not be trusted.

CryptoSlate prioritizes crypto news based on relevance, timeliness, market impact, reader interest, public interest, and credibility of available information. Coverage decisions are made by the editorial team.

CryptoSlate may correct, update, or clarify published articles when new information becomes available or when an error is identified. Material updates may be noted within the article or reflected in the article metadata.

CryptoSlate may use software tools to assist with research, editing, formatting, transcription, or workflow. Editorial judgment, review, and publication decisions remain subject to CryptoSlate’s editorial standards.

Editorial decisions are made separately from advertising and partnership sales. Paid content is labeled, and commercial relationships are disclosed where relevant so readers can distinguish editorial coverage from sponsored material.

CryptoSlate may allow anonymity when a source has a credible reason to avoid public identification and the information is newsworthy. The editorial team evaluates anonymous sourcing carefully and may require corroboration.

PR teams can submit embargoed news, exclusives, and supporting materials through CryptoSlate’s editorial contact channels. Submissions should include the embargo time, source contact, assets, supporting documents, and any jurisdictional limitations.
