How we verify
Every profile carries one of three states. Here is exactly what each one means.
Listed
The profile was compiled from public sources: the organization’s official website and documentation, open datasets of protocols and blockchains, and community-maintained lists. Listed profiles are kept out of search engines until they have enough original information to be useful.
Verified
A BitOrgs editor has checked that the website is live and official, that the social accounts link back to it, and that the category, headquarters and founding year match what the organization says publicly.
Claimed
Someone at the organization proved control of an email address on the listed domain. Claimed profiles can be edited by the team, and every edit is still reviewed before it goes live.
What we check regularly
- Websites that stop responding are flagged and hidden after repeated failures.
- Protocol data such as supported chains and total value locked is refreshed from public sources.
- Reports from readers are read by a person, usually within two business days.
Corrections
Every profile has a “Suggest a correction” form. If you represent the organization, claim the profile instead so you can keep it current.
Data sources and credits
Protocol metadata and TVL figures draw on public DefiLlama data; exchange metadata on public CoinGecko data; blockchain registry data on chainid.network (MIT); wallet data from the ethereum.org wallet list (MIT); founding and headquarters facts from Wikidata (CC0). We thank these projects for keeping their data open.
