Editorial Methodology

How We Research

ZUG BLOCKCHAIN’s editorial process begins with primary source research. For company profiles, we consult the Swiss commercial register (Moneyhouse), Zug cantonal records, official company websites, FINMA licensing databases, and financial filings where available.

For ecosystem statistics, our primary sources include the CV VC annual Crypto Valley Company & Industry Report, the CV VC Top 50 Report (published annually at Davos), the Swiss Blockchain Federation, and the Crypto Valley Association.

For regulatory analysis, we work from the original legal texts via fedlex.admin.ch, FINMA circulars and fact sheets at finma.ch, and official government publications. We cite specific article and ordinance numbers rather than paraphrasing second-hand summaries.

Verification Standards

Every company profile contains:

• Year and jurisdiction of incorporation (verified via commercial register)
• FINMA license status where applicable (verified via FINMA public register)
• Leadership names (verified via official company sources)
• Funding figures (verified via company announcements or credible financial databases)

Every data point in the platform carries a source attribution. When a figure appears in multiple sources with variation, we note the discrepancy and explain our editorial choice.

What We Don’t Do

We do not publish unverified rumours, anonymous tips, or speculative market commentary without attribution. We do not use AI-generated figures or hallucinated statistics.

We do not rank companies or investment opportunities. Our analysis describes and contextualises — it does not recommend.

Update Policy

Company profiles are reviewed when material changes occur (new funding rounds, leadership changes, licensing changes). Ecosystem data is updated following publication of the annual CV VC reports. Regulatory analysis is updated when FINMA publishes new guidance or Swiss law changes.
