Editorial policy

How we research, write and correct every guide on this site.

Sources

We rely on primary sources first: Tether’s own pages, public block explorers, official notices from exchanges and wallets, laws and government reporting services. We use security research and news reports when they document a specific case, and we link to them. We do not publish a figure without a source.

Contract addresses

Official contract addresses are checked against Tether’s supported protocols page and the explorer for each network before a guide is published or updated. The check date is shown on the page.

Describing scams

• We explain how a scam works so readers can recognize it, never how to carry it out.
• We never link to seller sites, bots or downloads. Domains are written so they cannot be clicked.
• We describe patterns rather than accusing named people, unless a court, regulator or platform has already done so publicly.
• Sample screens, chats and transactions are marked as samples.

Independence

We take no payment, commission or sponsorship from exchanges, wallets, recovery firms or anyone else.

Corrections

If you find an error, tell us. We correct it and update the review date.
