Pick the right inbox and your message reaches the right person on the first hop. Anything addressed to [email protected] still works as a catch-all, but it goes slower.

Corrections
Spotted a factual error, broken link, or stale data point? We log and publish every correction. Include URL and the issue.
Sponsorship · media kit
Advertising, newsletter sponsorships, branded research, and IO requests. Indicative rate card at /advertise/.
Partnerships · syndication
Data partnerships, content syndication, API access, and white-label briefings. Tell us volume + use case.
Press · interviews
Quote requests, panel invitations, podcast / video appearances. Editor-in-Chief Naomi Brooks handles these directly.
General · readers
Catch-all for everything else: reader feedback, newsletter issues, account questions, broken pages. Slower than purpose-specific addresses.
Confidential sources
We protect sources. For sensitive material — internal documents, on-chain breadcrumbs you'd rather not have logged to a corporate inbox, regulatory leaks — use one of the encrypted channels on the right. We never reveal sources, and we don't store identifying metadata unless you opt in.
If you're sending material under embargo or NDA, mark the subject line EMBARGO or NDA — your message bypasses the regular inbox.

FAQ
We cover stories that move markets or matter to readers — not every product launch. Token-only projects under $50M market cap rarely get editorial coverage. If you want guaranteed placement, that's what sponsorship is for, and it's labeled accordingly.
A few per month — usually deep-dive analyses or original on-chain research from credentialed contributors. We pay competitive rates. Email [email protected] with a 200-word pitch + writing samples.
If it's been more than 2 business days, we either chose not to pursue or your message ended up in spam. Resend with a 1-line summary in the subject and we'll triage faster. Major tips: also DM the relevant beat reporter on X.
Email [email protected] with the outlet, deadline, and exact question. Editor-in-Chief Naomi Brooks handles press requests directly. We're happy to provide quotes within our coverage areas; we won't speculate outside them.
Email [email protected] with the URL and what's wrong. We publish corrections at /corrections/ with timestamps and a diff. No silent edits.
Yes. We have never identified a source against their wishes and have processes (Signal, PGP, ProtonMail, Tor drop) to make sure metadata can't be used to identify you either. Use a personal device on a non-work network for maximum protection.
