What gets on Ethernews

Ethernews watches a hand picked list of sources, not the open web. Client releases, core dev forums, and team blogs carry the most weight.

The rules:

• Stories must be substantively about Ethereum or its ecosystem.
• Factual reporting only, and bad news counts.
• Opinion is limited to essays from significant ecosystem voices, always labeled opinion.
• Price is limited to a plain note when ether makes an exceptional move.
• Crypto policy is limited to landmark shifts in how Ethereum is regulated.
• Big claims rank low until corroborated.
• Ranking rewards corroboration, significance, centrality to Ethereum, and freshness.
• Roundups are labeled as roundups.
• Every story gets a one sentence plain language explainer.

An editor model applies these rules to every incoming item, with human oversight. The numbers behind them stay private.
