Editorial Principles

How we research, write, and maintain our prediction market educational content. Our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and independence.

Our Editorial Standards

At Polymarket101, we take content accuracy seriously. Prediction markets involve real money, and misleading information can lead to real losses. Here's how we ensure our content meets the standard our readers deserve.

How We Research

Every piece of content starts with primary research:

Platform testing: We use the platforms we write about. Our team actively trades on Polymarket and other prediction markets.
Official documentation: We cross-reference all technical claims against official docs, smart contract code, and on-chain data.
Multiple sources: No claim is based on a single source. We verify information across official channels, community forums, and independent analysis.

How We Write

Hands-on experience first: Writers must have firsthand experience with the topic they're covering. We don't write about features we haven't used.
Clear language: We avoid unnecessary jargon. When technical terms are needed, we define them.
Practical focus: Every guide aims to help readers take action, not just understand theory.
Honest assessments: We include both pros and cons. If something has risks or limitations, we say so.

How We Review

Each article goes through a multi-step review:

Author self-review: The writer checks for accuracy and completeness
Editorial review: An editor reviews for clarity, structure, and readability
Fact-check: Key claims are verified against official sources
Publication: Only after all checks pass

How We Update

Prediction markets and crypto platforms change frequently. Our update process:

Quarterly reviews: Core content is reviewed every quarter for accuracy
Event-driven updates: When platforms change fees, features, or policies, we update affected articles within one week
Date tracking: Every article shows its publication and last-updated date so readers know how current the information is
Version notes: Significant updates are noted at the top of affected articles

Our Independence

Polymarket101 is editorially independent:

No platform control: No prediction market platform has editorial input or approval over our content
Affiliate transparency: We may earn referral commissions, but this never influences our editorial recommendations. See our Advertising Disclosure for details.
No paid reviews: We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable coverage
Corrections welcome: If you find an error, contact us. We correct mistakes promptly and transparently.

Guarantee trading outcomes or provide personalized financial advice
