How we research and fact-check
Crypto is a “your money or your life” topic, so accuracy and transparency matter more here than almost anywhere else. This page explains how content on LakeBTC is researched, written, fact-checked, and kept up to date.
Our sources
We base our content on primary sources wherever possible: official exchange and wallet documentation, public on-chain data, project whitepapers, and official regulatory or government publications. When we cite a figure — a fee, a supply number, a date — we aim to link to the source and note when it was last checked, because crypto data changes quickly.
Our fact-checking process
Every article passes through a structured review before and after publication:
- Automated fact-check. Checkable claims — figures, names, dates, specifications, and quotes — are verified against current sources, and any claim that cannot be supported is flagged for correction.
- Human review. A person reviews the flagged items, confirms the corrections, and signs off before anything is treated as final.
- Internal consistency. We check that comparisons, tables, and numbers are consistent within the article and match the sources they cite.
Independence
Our research and recommendations are formed independently of any affiliate or commercial relationship. We disclose affiliate links clearly, and a partner paying a commission does not buy a better review or ranking.
Keeping content current
Crypto markets, fees, and regulations move fast, so we revisit and update published articles as things change. Where you see a “last updated” date, that reflects the most recent review of that page.
Corrections
If you spot something that looks wrong or out of date, please let us know via our About page and we will review and correct it.
