Financial Disclosures

Ownership

Blockchain Academics is privately held and independently operated. No publisher or external investor has editorial control over what the newsroom publishes.

Sister Companies

The same founder operates several other businesses in the crypto industry. We disclose these because their existence creates the possibility of conflicts of interest, and because readers deserve to know.

• BCA Studio — an agency providing content and growth services to crypto projects. Editorial team members at Blockchain Academics do not write coverage of any company that is a current BCA Studio client without an explicit in-article disclosure. studio.blockchainacademics.com
• DEXTools — a separate product. Coverage of DEXTools, its competitors, or the trading-tools category is flagged in-article when published.
• DEXT Force Ventures — a venture investor in early-stage crypto projects. Any article touching a DEXT Force portfolio company carries an explicit in-article disclosure.

Sponsored Content

Sponsored content is paid for by an advertiser. It is clearly labelled as sponsored, never written or edited by the editorial team, and never shown in news listings as if it were independent reporting.

Press releases distributed through the platform are similarly labelled and are not editorial coverage.

Affiliate Links

Some links in our articles are affiliate links — we may earn a commission if a reader signs up for a service through one of these links, at no extra cost to the reader. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products or services we cover or how we cover them. Affiliate links are flagged where they appear.

Per-Author Disclosures

Editorial team members declare any personal crypto holding worth more than US$1,000 publicly on their author profile. Holdings are refreshed every quarter and at the time of any article touching an asset they hold.
