Editorial policy
Effective 22 September 2026. Kijoli publishes independent, educational coverage of Solana technology and its surrounding ecosystem.
1. Selection
We select subjects for their explanatory value, public relevance, and availability of verifiable sources. We do not select a subject solely because it is popular or commercially promoted. Editorial interest is not an endorsement.
2. Sources
We prefer primary documentation, public repositories, direct statements, and clearly attributed technical records. Secondary reporting may provide context but is labelled through attribution. Authors record access dates for changing online materials.
3. Independence
Advertising, sponsorship, and partnerships must be separated from editorial decisions. A commercial relationship cannot guarantee coverage or a favorable conclusion. Conflicts that could materially affect a story are disclosed or the assignment is declined.
4. Language
We avoid guaranteed outcomes, urgent sales language, and unsupported superlatives. Technical uncertainty is expressed plainly. We do not publish financial, investment, legal, tax, or health claims.
5. Corrections
Readers may report errors through contact.php. A correction should identify the passage and provide a credible source. We distinguish factual corrections from disagreements about interpretation and keep a dated record when a correction changes meaning.
6. Updates
Guides may be updated when software, interfaces, or documentation change. The visible date should help a reader decide whether to verify the detail. We do not silently turn an old claim into a current one.
7. Privacy
We minimize personal information in correspondence and never ask for wallet secrets. Contact handling follows the Privacy Policy. We do not publish private information merely because it is technically obtainable.
8. Community voices
Community discussion can reveal useful context but is not automatically evidence of a technical fact. We identify opinion, proposal, implementation, and decision as different stages. Quotes are kept faithful to their context.
9. Children and vulnerable readers
Our publication is general educational media and is not directed at children. We avoid presenting complex technical or financial decisions as simple or consequence-free. Readers should seek qualified assistance when the stakes are significant.
10. Review history
This policy became effective on 22 September 2026 and will be reviewed on 22 September 2027. Future updates will display their date and the material change. Questions may be sent to Kijoli in Seoul.
Editorial practice in detail
Selection begins with a reader question that can be answered through public evidence. We consider whether a subject has explanatory value, whether its scope can be stated fairly, and whether the available material can be checked. A popular announcement may be useful context but is not, by itself, a reason to publish. We distinguish an editorial choice from a conclusion about the subject.
Authors normally record the title, publisher, access date, version, and relevant passage for a source. Primary documentation is preferred for technical claims, while independent reporting and public discussion can provide history or competing views. Where a source is promotional, we describe it as such rather than treating its language as an established fact. Links are checked during preparation and when a meaningful correction is made.
Editorial independence includes the choice not to cover a topic, delay publication, qualify a headline, or correct a page. Advertising or sponsorship cannot determine those decisions. Potential conflicts are disclosed to the editor, and an assignment may be reassigned where the conflict could affect reader understanding. Financial or personal interests are not presented as evidence.
Language is reviewed for unsupported certainty, pressure, implication of outcomes, and ambiguity about advice. Dates, technical versions, jurisdictions, and source limits are included when they change the meaning. We do not ask a reader to act quickly or imply that a result is available to everyone. Articles use neutral descriptions of products, projects, and public statements.
Correction reports should identify the page, sentence, source, and reason the statement is inaccurate. We aim to acknowledge a report within five business days and assess ordinary factual reports within 30 days. A material correction receives a visible note or dated update, while a minor spelling change may be corrected without a separate notice. The correction record is retained while the article remains part of the archive.
Guides are reviewed at least annually and sooner when a referenced interface or documentation source changes. The effective date and update date help readers decide whether verification is needed. The 2026 review cycle begins on 22 September 2026, with a scheduled policy review on 22 September 2027. Privacy questions are handled under the Privacy Policy, and reports may be sent to 330 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 06040, Republic of Korea, or +82 (0)2 6178 9032.
Further editorial detail
Selection begins with a question that can be explained using public evidence and a clearly stated scope. We consider whether the topic helps readers understand technology, terminology, governance, development, or ecosystem context. A subject may be declined when its claims cannot be checked or when the available material is primarily promotional. Popularity, search interest, or a commercial request does not replace editorial judgment.
Source records normally include the publisher, title, access date, version, relevant passage, and a link where one is available. Primary documentation is preferred for technical descriptions, while independent reporting and public discussion may explain chronology or disagreement. A source’s commercial interest is disclosed through attribution and is not treated as proof. Broken links are checked during revision and replaced or marked when an equivalent source is unavailable.
Independence means that advertisers and partners cannot require publication, set a conclusion, remove a limitation, or delay a correction. A contributor is expected to disclose a relevant personal, professional, or financial connection before work begins. The editor may reassign a subject, add a disclosure, or decline the piece. These safeguards apply even when no formal sponsorship exists.
Language is reviewed for pressure, implied certainty, unsupported comparisons, and claims about personal outcomes. Technical limits, dates, jurisdictions, and version dependencies are retained when they affect meaning. We do not present an educational description as financial, investment, legal, tax, or health advice. A headline should be understandable without exaggerating the underlying evidence.
Correction requests should identify the page, exact sentence, credible source, and date. We aim to acknowledge a report within five business days and assess an ordinary factual issue within 30 days. A material correction receives a visible dated note or an update to the relevant passage; minor typographical changes may not require a separate note. A disagreement about interpretation is recorded as correspondence rather than automatically treated as an error.
Guides are reviewed when referenced software, interfaces, or documentation change and at least once during the annual review cycle. The visible date helps readers decide whether additional verification is needed. The current policy is effective 22 September 2026 and scheduled for review on 22 September 2027. Questions may be sent to 330 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 06040, Republic of Korea, or +82 (0)2 6178 9032.
