DeFi protocols, layer 2 networks and bridges, liquid staking and restaking projects, DEX aggregators, analytics and data platforms, portfolio trackers, security auditors and trading tools that publish their fees. Token projects are eligible as long as the note is labeled sponsored and contains no price targets.
Ineligible
- Token presales or sales that make price or return claims.
- “Risk-free” or guaranteed-yield marketing.
- Crypto “recovery” services.
- Signal groups and copy-trading schemes that promise profits.
- Anything that routes readers to unverified contracts or asks them to sign token approvals.
- Payday, title, tribal and unlicensed lenders.
- Credit repair firms that charge fees upfront.
Disclosure format
A sponsored note carries a “Sponsored research note” label in its header, beside the date and data sources. Paid links use rel="sponsored nofollow". The note keeps the desk’s standard structure, including a risk section the sponsor can’t remove or soften. Comparisons rank on stated criteria, and payment doesn’t move a project up the table.
Submission
Send a one-paragraph outline and the documentation it relies on. The desk checks every claim against docs and on-chain data and cuts what it can’t verify.
