Corrections Policy

Accuracy and accountability

TrustLink Labs welcomes evidence-based corrections to the Transfer Settlement Network knowledge base and its research updates.

Effective date: 20 July 2026

What qualifies as a correction?

A correction addresses a material factual error, inaccurate quotation, broken or mismatched citation, incorrect identity or attribution, misleading description of implementation status, mathematical or technical mistake, or other claim that could materially change a reasonable reader’s understanding.

Disagreement with a definition, interpretation, or research conclusion is not automatically a factual correction. Substantive competing interpretations may instead be acknowledged, clarified, or addressed in a separate update.

How to submit a correction

1. Identify the exact Page or Post URL.
2. Quote the sentence, table entry, diagram label, or citation in question.
3. Explain what is inaccurate and why it matters.
4. Provide primary evidence whenever possible.
5. Send the request through Telegram, TrustLink Labs on X, or a relevant research repository issue.

Review process

We review the cited passage, the evidence supplied, the original sources, and any relevant repository or protocol documentation. Where necessary, we may ask the submitter, author, project, or independent source for clarification. Requests are judged on evidence rather than status, affiliation, or tone.

How changes are recorded

• Minor fixes: spelling, formatting, link repair, and changes that do not alter meaning may be corrected without a formal note.
• Material corrections: the article should be changed and carry a dated correction or update note explaining the substance of the revision.
• Substantial revisions: when the central conclusion or architecture description changes, the article should identify that it was materially updated.
• Retractions: content that cannot be responsibly corrected may be removed or replaced with an explanation.

Source changes and evolving protocols

A source becoming unavailable does not automatically make the original statement false, but we will seek a stable replacement or clarify the evidence status. Protocols and products evolve; a later change may require an update rather than a correction if the earlier description was accurate when published.

Good-faith participation

We welcome criticism that improves the public record. Correction channels must not be used to submit secrets, personal data, threats, spam, fabricated evidence, or demands to remove accurate public-interest information without a valid basis.
