Source Methodology And Corrections

How HypeBasis decides which claims can be published, how often pages need review, and what happens when a source changes.

Important distinction
HypeBasis is an independent educational site. Source quality is part of the product: if a claim about fees, referrals, restrictions, protocol mechanics, or risk cannot be verified, it should not be presented as settled fact.

Direct answer

HypeBasis prefers official or primary sources, records accessed dates, shows last reviewed dates on evergreen pages, and treats high-risk pages as monthly-review content. If a claim becomes stale or unsupported, the page should be corrected, marked unverified, or have the claim removed.

Source priority

  • Official protocol or venue documentation.
  • Public legal terms, risk disclosures, fee pages, and help-center policy pages.
  • Regulator, exchange, or established education sources for traditional product mechanics.
  • Public API responses for live-data fields, with stale and fallback states shown in the UI.
  • Third-party technical docs only when they document an endpoint shape or tooling behavior that official docs do not cover clearly.

Review cadence

High-risk pages

Monthly
  • Fees, referrals, restrictions, calculators, funding, liquidations, deposits, withdrawals, options, outcome markets, and stock perps.

Comparison pages

Monthly while search traffic is growing
  • Hyperliquid versus venues, prediction-market comparisons, fee-model comparisons, and custody-model comparisons.

Live-data pages

Every render plus source reviews
  • Markets, funding, open interest, volume, portfolio, vault, watchlist, and stock-perp screener pages.

Evergreen policy pages

Quarterly or when a governing rule changes
  • About, risk disclaimer, data dictionary, source methodology, and content policy pages.

Correction workflow

  • Identify the affected claim, page, source, and risk level.
  • Check the official or primary source again before rewriting the claim.
  • If the claim cannot be verified, remove it or label it as unverified instead of softening it into ambiguity.
  • Update the page copy, last reviewed date, source block, and any tests or shared data that enforce the claim.
  • Add a decision note to the relevant active plan when the correction changes scope, monetization, jurisdiction handling, or product interpretation.

What gets downgraded or removed

  • A fee, referral, restriction, or protocol claim with no official or primary-source support.
  • A jurisdiction statement that encourages signups, deposits, trading, or workarounds where access is restricted.
  • A calculator or data explanation that hides major assumptions such as fees, spread, liquidity, funding, settlement, or stale data.
  • A comparison claim that relies on old fee tables, old access rules, or unsupported marketing language.
