Write For Us – DeFi Guest Posts

DeFi is the category where we decline the most, because most of what arrives is promotion wearing an explainer costume. We do publish it – when the piece is honest that a yield figure is payment for accepting a risk, and says what the risk is.

What we want

  • Mechanism explainers: how a lending market, AMM or liquidation engine behaves under stress
  • Exploit post-mortems with the specific failure identified, not just the loss total
  • Regulatory analysis of where DeFi actually sits in US law today
  • Honest accounting of what a yield is composed of

What we decline

  • Protocol promotion and token launches
  • Yield strategies without the risk that generates the yield
  • “Passive income” framing
  • Anything with a referral link in the body

A pitch that would work

A breakdown of where a quoted 12% APY actually comes from, and precisely what has to stay true for it to persist.

Rates

Submissions are currently free. We are building this section and would rather have good DeFi reporting than early revenue, so there is no fee to submit or to publish right now. Paid placement will open later; when it does it will be clearly labelled and the editorial standards on this page will not change.

What payment will never buy: a directory listing, a better position in it, or publication of something that fails fact-checking. See the sponsored content policy and our affiliate disclosure.

Requirements

  • 1,000-1,500 words, original, not published anywhere else.
  • Sources linked inline to primary material – filings, fee schedules, operator records.
  • A real author bio and a verifiable identity.
  • We edit for accuracy and house style, and we fact-check before publishing. See our editorial process.
  • Unfamiliar terms are defined in our crypto glossary – use it rather than re-explaining basics.

Questions

Can I write about my own protocol?

Only as disclosed, labelled, paid placement, and only if the piece survives fact-checking. Most do not.

Are post-mortems welcome even if unflattering?

Especially then. A clear account of how an exploit worked is among the most useful things we can publish.

Do you cover DAOs?

As governance and legal-structure reporting, yes. As token promotion, no.

Other subjects we accept

We run a separate brief for each subject because what makes a good DeFi piece is not what makes a good piece elsewhere. Pick the one that fits:

Before you pitch

Read something we have published, and look at the ATM directory – it is the centre of the site and the reason our standards on sourcing are what they are. Then send the topic, your angle, and one sentence on what makes it different from what already ranks.
