Staking-safety content is easy to get subtly wrong — either by overstating how risky staking is, or by understating it to make a platform look more attractive. These are the standards we hold ourselves to.
Sourcing
- Mechanism claims (how slashing works, how unbonding periods function) are backed by documented protocol behavior and cited industry sources, linked inline where relevant.
- We do not invent statistics, reviews, or business credentials.
Volatile facts
APY figures, exact unbonding-period lengths, and slashing-penalty percentages change as networks upgrade. We describe these as mechanisms that vary and change over time rather than quoting a fixed number as permanent, and we recommend readers verify the current figure for their specific network before staking.
No guaranteed-return framing
We do not use language implying staking returns are guaranteed or risk-free. Staking involves real risk — slashing, illiquidity during unbonding, and, for custodial or liquid staking, counterparty and smart-contract risk — and our content reflects that consistently.
