Its positioning is "co-building the Web3 world with innovators".

Pricing

All content is completely free to read with no paywall. The platform's main revenue comes from advertising and column/media resource cooperation (there are "Apply for Column" and "Media Resources" entry points on the site), following the typical advertising-based monetization model for media.

Pros & Cons

Pros: timely updates, high frequency of breaking news, insightful in-depth articles, user-friendly Chinese reading experience, well-organized topic collections.
Cons: content is heavily focused exclusively on the crypto vertical; some breaking news is sourced from "investigative account long posts" or "unverified posts on X", so readers need to verify the authenticity themselves (the platform itself also repeatedly notes that information is "still to be confirmed"); additionally, crypto content itself is regulatory-sensitive in mainland China, and the platform has repeatedly emphasized that its content is for risk提示 only and does not constitute investment advice.

Who It's For

It is suitable for crypto investors, Web3 practitioners, researchers looking to get quick industry updates, and Chinese readers interested in stablecoins, DeFi, RWA, and regulatory policy. General investors should approach content rationally and pay attention to verifying information authenticity.

Access from China

The website holds a Hainan ICP filing and can be accessed directly without a VPN, with a fully localized Chinese interface. Note that its Telegram and X community channels are restricted in mainland China, and crypto trading itself is not protected by law in China.
