Everything that is not Bitcoin: Ethereum and the layer-2s, Solana, the exchange chains, and the tokens that arrive with a narrative attached. We separate protocol news from price stories, and we label anything that was paid for.
Hardforks, client releases, staking mechanics and the governance votes behind them - dated, with the block or the UTC time, not "soon".
Blockchain NewsExchange listings, index inclusion and the growing queue of single-asset funds waiting on a regulator.

DeFi NewsEditorial stories by section, counted live from this site. Paid placements are excluded - they are not reporting, and the masthead carries their number.
