KAST Academy Editorial Policy
KAST Academy was built to explain how modern money actually works in practice, not just in theory. We’ve seen how confusing crypto education can be. Our goal is to remove that confusion.
Our Editorial Principles
Reader-first clarity
We explain how modern money systems work in real-world scenarios. Articles are structured, direct, and written with minimal jargon.
Compliance-aware education
When relevant, we clearly explain legal frameworks, custody models, fees, and risks. Regulatory and compliance context is included in the core content, not hidden in footnotes.
Accuracy and verifiability
Content is reviewed internally for factual accuracy. When discussing technical mechanisms, regulatory frameworks, or financial concepts, we rely on primary sources, official documentation, and well-established sources.
Ongoing updates
Articles are reviewed and updated to reflect changes in features, regulations, supported assets, or product functionality.
No financial advice
KAST Academy does not publish investment advice, price predictions, guarantees, or personal recommendations. Educational content is informational only.
Separation of education and promotion
KAST may be referenced where relevant, but explanations always stand on their own. We explain the concept first, and only reference KAST where it naturally applies.
