These Publication Principles outline the operational, editorial, and legal standards governing all content published on ATHPost (https://athpost.com/).
1. Core Mission and Editorial Independence ATHPost is dedicated to providing timely, objective, and transparent news regarding the cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 industries. Our editorial team operates independently from our advertising and commercial departments. News coverage, token analyses, and editorial opinions are never dictated by sponsors, protocol founders, or external investors.
2. Financial and Investment Disclaimer Every piece of content published on ATHPost is strictly for informational, educational, and journalistic purposes.
- No Financial Advice: No article, market report, or social media post constitutes financial, legal, tax, or investment advice.
- High-Risk Market: Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, speculative, and subject to rapid regulatory changes. You are solely responsible for your own trading and investment decisions (DYOR).
- Zero Liability: ATHPost, its owners, and its staff assume absolutely no liability for any direct or indirect financial losses, liquidations, or damages resulting from the use of information published on this platform.
3. Categorization of Content To ensure complete transparency and limit legal liability, we strictly categorize our publications:
- Standard News & Editorial: Independent journalism produced by our internal team.
- Opinion / Op-Ed: Subjective analyses reflecting only the author’s views, not the official stance of ATHPost.
- Press Releases & Sponsored Content: Paid placements submitted by third parties. These are always clearly tagged as “Sponsored” or “Press Release.” We do not verify, endorse, or assume any legal responsibility for the claims, promises, or security of projects featured in paid content.
4. Sourcing and Fact-Checking Due to the prevalence of misinformation in the digital asset space, we enforce strict verification standards:
- On-Chain Verification: Whenever possible, journalists must verify claims using public blockchain explorers and primary smart contract data.
- Rumors: Unverified market rumors or social media speculation will be explicitly labeled as such and are published solely to report on market sentiment, not as established facts.
5. AI and Automation Usage ATHPost may utilize artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in data aggregation, translation, or market data formatting. However, all AI-assisted content is reviewed by human editors prior to publication. We disclaim liability for any algorithmic errors regarding real-time price feeds, token metrics, or automated chart data displayed on the site.
6. External Links and Web3 Safety Articles may contain links to third-party decentralized applications (dApps), centralized exchanges, or crypto wallets.
- ATHPost does not audit the security of external smart contracts.
- Clicking external links, connecting Web3 wallets, or interacting with third-party protocols is done entirely at your own risk.
- We bear no responsibility for phishing attacks, wallet drains, or hacks that occur on third-party domains linked from our publications.
