Editorial Policy

This page describes how Meme Desk produces what it publishes. It is short because the rules are short.

How we cover memecoins

As news and as risk — never as promotion. We report what happened and how the machinery works: listings, trending boards, verification badges, social velocity, and the marketing genres of the current cycle. We do not publish price targets, return projections, coin picks, or any sentence that could be quoted in a promoter's deck, and we do not link to a token's buy page. Individual coins appear here as specimens, not as review subjects: the things we review and score are the instruments around the market — screeners, wallets, venues, and tooling.

How we review

Reviews are built from real research: hands-on use where possible, and documented sources — published documentation, the companies' own materials, and credible third-party coverage — where it is not. When a figure comes from a vendor or from reporting rather than our own use, we say so in the text (“per the company”, “as reported”, “as of this writing”). We do not invent statistics, quotes, or test results, we do not present someone else's numbers as our own, and we hold no position in any token we cover.

What scores mean

Scores are out of 10 and apply to instruments and infrastructure only — never to coins, which we do not rate and never will. A score is an editorial judgment of how well a tool does its stated job, how honestly it is presented, and how badly a reasonable reader could be hurt by trusting it too much. As a practical guide: below 5 means we would not keep it on the desk; 5–7 means genuinely useful with limits you must hold in mind; 8 and above means it leads its category — and still lists its cons, because in this market the cons are the most important part of any review. No score is for sale.

Disclosure

Meme Desk is commercially supported and may earn affiliate commissions or advertising revenue from links. Any paid or affiliate content carries a disclosure notice at the top of the post, and paid links are marked rel="sponsored" in the page's code. Sponsors get clearly labelled space; they do not get editorial control, and they do not get conclusions.

Bylines

Meme Desk publishes under house bylines maintained by the editorial team. Max Vandel, who signs our reviews, is a disclosed house pen name — the accountable editorial identity for this site, in the tradition of publications that write under a house voice. News items run under Staff, Meme Desk. We do not fabricate journalist biographies or credentials, and no writer here claims trading history, credentials, or war stories they do not have.

Corrections

We correct errors of fact quickly and visibly. If you spot one — a name, a figure, a date, a claim that reporting has since overturned — use the contact page and flag it as a correction. We aim to act on corrections within a few business days.
