How We Work

Every investigation published here follows a structured methodology. We rely on publicly available evidence, on-chain data where applicable, regulatory filings, user-reported incidents, and direct observation of exchange and protocol behavior over time. We do not accept payment for coverage, and we distinguish clearly between reporting and commentary.
