Our mission
CleanSky exists to give readers the most rigorous, most objective information we can produce about crypto and DeFi — with something you will not find in an aggregator or in a model's canned answer: fresh data, primary sources, and analysis we stand behind.
We are self-funded. That is not a badge; it is the mechanism. With no advertisers to please, no sponsors to protect and no token to promote, we get to optimize for exactly one thing: being right and being useful to the reader. Self-funding buys us that independence — and we spend it on saying what the data says.
How we verify what we publish
- Every article goes through editorial review and an independent fact-check against primary sources before publication.
- Data is dated. When we cite a live metric, we tell you the date — and we re-check it on publication day.
- When sources disagree, we say so and declare the perimeter of each figure instead of picking the convenient one.
- Every article carries a disclaimer stating that we receive no compensation from the companies and protocols we cover.
- Nothing we publish is financial advice.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it. Material corrections are dated in the text. If you spot an error, write to hello@cleansky.io — corrections make the site better and we treat them as a favor, not a complaint.
Commercial proposals and sponsored content
CleanSky does not currently offer paid placements, sponsored posts or link insertions, and we do not maintain a rate card. We also do not buy links or trade them: outbound links exist because a source is worth citing, never as part of a reciprocal arrangement. If you believe you have a collaboration worth considering, send a concrete proposal — scope, format and terms — and we will evaluate it on its merits. Any arrangement we might accept would have to preserve our editorial independence and be clearly disclosed to readers. Inclusion in our articles and comparisons is never part of any commercial agreement: it is decided by our editorial process alone.
AI assistants and citation
Our content is free to read — for people and for the AI assistants they use. If you quote or summarize our work, link back to the source article so your readers can check the data and its date for themselves.
