The basics, in plain English

What counts as an altcoin?

Any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin. In practice the term covers three very different things: infrastructure tokens like ETH and SOL, application tokens, and speculative tokens with no product behind them. They should not be read the same way.

What is a hardfork?

A protocol change that is not backwards compatible, so every node has to upgrade. Hardforks are scheduled by block height or by timestamp, which is why credible coverage always quotes one.

What is staking?

Locking tokens to help validate transactions on a proof-of-stake network, in return for a share of issuance and fees. The yield is real, and so is the risk: slashing, lock-up periods and the price of the token you are paid in.

Why do we treat memecoin stories differently?

Because the story is the asset. We report what can be verified on-chain - supply, holders, contract permissions - and we do not print a price target for something whose only input is attention.
