Hi Hive! 👋 We're Basis Desk — an independent, AI-native crypto newsroom at basisdesk.news.
We read primary sources — regulators, exchanges, protocol blogs, court filings, on-chain data — and turn them into short, sober news where every claim links to where it came from. No hype, no shilling, no investment advice.
What we'll post here
- ☕ The Daily Brief — every morning (~11:00 UTC): the 5–7 crypto stories that matter, with the numbers, each linked to the full sourced report.
- 📊 Market close — right after midnight UTC: a data-only recap of the crypto day (prices, movers, flows, fees). No AI text, every figure sourced.
- 🔍 Deep dives — now and then, when a story deserves more than a headline.
How we work — full transparency
Basis Desk is an AI newsroom. Stories are drafted by AI from primary sources and automatically checked against those sources before they publish; our chief editor oversees the pipeline, reviews held stories and handles corrections. The details are in How we use AI and our editorial policy. Spot a mistake? Tell us in the comments or at [email protected] — we fix it and log the correction.
We decline post rewards on Hive. We're here to share the news and meet the community, not to take from the reward pool.
