Editorial policy

Harmony is an independent educational publication about cryptocurrency mining, staking ecosystems and digital asset infrastructure. This policy applies to the 2026 newsroom and explains how we choose, verify, label and correct material.

1. Independence

Editorial decisions are separate from advertising and commercial conversations. A sponsor does not choose a conclusion, headline or correction outcome. Potential conflicts are disclosed when they could affect interpretation. We decline arrangements that compromise reader trust.

2. Source selection

Primary protocol documents, release notes, technical papers, public records and direct interviews are preferred. Secondary reporting helps establish context but is checked where practical. Sources are dated because technical facts can move quickly. Anonymous material requires additional caution.

3. Verification

Writers define terms before comparing them and record the assumptions behind numbers. Claims are tested against available documentation and described with appropriate certainty. We do not turn a single anecdote into a market-wide conclusion. Unresolved questions are labelled rather than hidden.

4. Corrections

Readers can report errors through contact.php. We distinguish typographical fixes from material corrections and note the change date when it affects understanding. Corrections do not erase the record of an earlier statement where transparency requires a note. We investigate in good faith.

5. Conflicts

Writers disclose relevant ownership, employment, consulting or operational relationships to the editor. A conflict does not automatically prevent coverage, but it may change assignment or require disclosure. We do not accept payment for favourable coverage. Sources are not promised a positive result.

6. Privacy

We minimise personal details in editorial correspondence and do not publish contact information without a legitimate reason and permission where appropriate. Messages are retained under the privacy policy. Do not send keys, passwords or confidential account data. Sensitive allegations require careful corroboration.

7. Financial language

Harmony avoids guaranteed, urgency-led and promotional claims. Articles do not provide a personal recommendation or calculate an individual’s suitability. Terms such as reward, yield or efficiency are explained in context. Readers should consult an appropriately qualified professional.

8. Regional awareness

The newsroom is based in Seoul and recognises that Korean law, infrastructure and language influence local readers. We avoid presenting one jurisdiction as universal. International readers should check their own rules. Translation is not a substitute for legal advice.

9. User submissions

Submitted ideas may inform future research but are not automatically published. We may edit for clarity, safety and length without changing a supported meaning. Submission does not transfer ownership of unrelated work. We do not accept material containing unlawful personal data.

10. Review record

This policy was adopted for the 2026 edition on 22 September 2026. Editors review it at least annually and after a significant change to the publication. Questions can be sent to 10 Nambusunhwan-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea 06703. The phone is +82-2-758-3942.

Harmony’s editorial scope includes mining equipment, staking systems, validators, energy context, custody practices, governance, terminology, and the operational conditions surrounding digital asset networks. Coverage is selected for explanatory value and public interest, not because a project, product, token, or service is being promoted. A mention does not indicate approval, suitability, or a financial recommendation.

Writers distinguish sourced fact, direct observation, interpretation, and forward-looking discussion. Technical claims are checked against primary documentation where reasonably available, and material corrections are recorded rather than silently concealed. When a source is incomplete or a detail cannot be independently confirmed, the wording is qualified and the uncertainty is described.

Readers may report an error, request a source, or disclose a relevant conflict by contacting 10 Nambusunhwan-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea 06703 or +82-2-758-3942. We aim to acknowledge a report within five business days and assess substantive corrections within 30 days. Editorial correspondence may be retained for up to 24 months after closure to maintain an accountable record.

The editorial policy is effective 22 September 2026. Future revisions will state the new effective date and summarise changes to sourcing, corrections, independence, or disclosure practices. Harmony does not accept payment in exchange for a predetermined editorial conclusion.

If a source is incomplete or cannot be independently confirmed, the wording is qualified rather than presented as settled fact. Corrections preserve a transparent record of what changed and why.

Readers may report an error, request a source, or disclose a relevant conflict at 10 Nambusunhwan-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea 06703 or +82-2-758-3942. Reports are acknowledged within five business days where a reply address is available, and substantive corrections are normally assessed within 30 days. Editorial correspondence may be retained for up to 24 months after closure so the reasoning and outcome can be documented.

Harmony does not accept payment for a predetermined editorial conclusion. A commercial relationship, if any, must remain separate from assignment, headline, sourcing, correction, and withdrawal decisions. This policy is effective 22 September 2026. Future revisions will state the date and summarise changes to independence, sourcing, corrections, or disclosure practice.
