About CoinMarketBrief
An independent site for crypto news, blockchain education, and practical DeFi explainers — written for readers who want clarity over hype.
Our mission
At CoinMarketBrief, the goal is simple: help readers understand digital assets without pretending crypto is risk-free. We cover Bitcoin, Ethereum, DeFi, airdrops, and market structure with plain language, comparisons, and sources you can check yourself.
This is not a multi-desk newsroom. Coverage is researched and edited by Pramodya Alahakoon. That single accountable voice is intentional: one named editor who owns sourcing, updates, and corrections.
What we publish
Educational guides and market explainers designed to be useful, not sensational.
Cryptocurrency Education
From Bitcoin basics to DeFi mechanics, we break complex topics into clear guides with risk framing and cited sources.
Crypto Market Updates
Market explainers and analysis across major tokens including Bitcoin and Ethereum — with dates and attribution on key figures.
DeFi & Web3 Coverage
Protocol explainers on staking, vaults, restaking, RWAs, and yield products, grounded in docs and public trackers.
Independent Analysis
Editorial decisions are not sold to token projects. Sponsored material, if any, is labeled.
How we earn trust
Our standards for research, disclosure, and corrections.
Attributed figures
Our sourcing standard requires dates and named sources for yields, TVL, AUM, and hack totals. Static articles should not be treated as live market data.
Editorial independence
Advertising does not write our educational DeFi guides. Conflicts of interest should be disclosed when relevant.
One accountable editor
CoinMarketBrief is edited by Pramodya Alahakoon. We do not invent a “team of experts” that does not exist.
Reader transparency
Sponsored or affiliate content is disclosed. Corrections can be requested via the contact page.
Editorial standards
Full detail lives on our Editorial Policy page.
- Hard numbers (yields, TVL, AUM, exploit totals) are attributed and dated.
- Primary sources preferred: protocol docs, issuer pages, DefiLlama, RWA.xyz.
- AI may assist drafts; a human editor reviews sourcing and risk framing before publish.
- Material corrections update the article date and are noted when significant.
- We do not promise “two independent reviewers” unless a second reviewer actually signs off.
- No guaranteed-return language. Crypto and DeFi involve real loss risk.
Important information & financial disclaimer
All content on CoinMarketBrief is for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing here is professional financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Cryptocurrency and DeFi involve significant risk of loss. Do your own research and consider speaking with a qualified advisor before making decisions.
