Accuracy matters. When we publish something incorrect, we correct it promptly and transparently, and we record material corrections here with the date and a note on what changed. Getting things right — and owning it openly when we don’t — is central to how we earn reader trust on high-stakes money-layer topics.
What counts as a correction, a clarification, or an update
We distinguish three things. A correction fixes a factual error — a wrong figure, name, date, quote, or claim. A clarification sharpens wording that was accurate but could be misread, without changing the underlying facts. An update adds genuinely new information to a developing story — for example, when a central bank moves a digital-currency programme from pilot to a wider rollout. Corrections and significant clarifications are noted on the article; routine updates to fast-moving coverage are part of normal editing.
How we handle minor versus significant errors
Minor errors — a typo, a broken link, a small formatting slip — are fixed quietly and do not need a public note. Significant errors — anything that changes the meaning of a piece, misstates a fact a reader might act on, or misrepresents a person, company, regulator, or central bank — are corrected and disclosed. For money-layer, CBDC, sanctions, and regulation coverage we treat the bar for “significant” as low: if there is any doubt, we mark the correction.
How corrections are marked
When we make a material correction, we amend the article itself and add a dated note at the foot of the piece describing what changed and when. We do not silently rewrite history: the fact that a correction was made stays visible. Where an error was serious, we also log it on this page so the record is public in one place.
How to report an error
Spotted a mistake, an out-of-date figure, or a scam we should cover? Please contact the desk with a link to the page and a short description of the issue. We review every report, aim to acknowledge substantive ones within a few business days, and act faster on anything that could mislead readers about risk. Reporting an error never requires an account or payment.
Corrections log
This is a new relaunch (the domain was registered in 2022 and relaunched in 2026). No corrections have been logged yet since relaunch. Material corrections will appear here as a dated list — we would rather show an honestly empty log than pad it.
Disputes and what we won’t change
If a person or organisation believes we have got something wrong, we welcome the challenge and will look again at the facts and sources. Where the evidence shows we erred, we correct and disclose it. But we will not remove or soften accurate, fairly-reported coverage simply because a subject dislikes it — including well-sourced reporting on regulation, sanctions, or a company’s conduct. Corrections are about accuracy, not about suppressing legitimate journalism, and we distinguish clearly between a genuine factual dispute and a request to make unfavourable-but-true reporting disappear.
How this connects to our standards
Our corrections practice is one part of a wider commitment. It sits alongside our sourcing and fact-checking rules in the editorial guidelines, and the way we source and date The CBDC Watch and our live data in the methodology. Together they are how we try to be accountable for every published claim.
