Content Classification Guidelines

Promotional or Lifestyle Content

Topics such as travel, health, leisure, house and home, personal finance, fitness, green living, cosmetics, cooking, interior design, gardening, hobbies, handcrafts, and work–life balance are generally categorized as lifestyle content and are not considered a suitable fit for the network.

However, these topics may be accepted when they are clearly positioned as part of a legitimate business, product, or service announcement.

Example:
An article titled “Gardens for Small Spaces” that explains which herbs and vegetables grow well in containers would not be considered newsworthy.
In contrast, an article announcing a company’s newly launched product—such as an innovative container designed to improve yields in small gardens and now being shipped worldwide—would qualify as newsworthy.

NFTs, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, DeFi, and Game Tokens

Content related to NFTs, cryptocurrency, blockchain, DeFi, or game tokens is not accepted, as these are classified as high-risk and volatile (VUCA) investment topics.

Business and Financial Content

Business news, corporate announcements, financial results, market research, and investment-grade press releases are acceptable.
