Xu Chengzhi

What the byline stands for

An editorial standard, not a person's credentials. "Xu Chengzhi" is a working name, not the one on anyone's documents. Nothing about it is meant to suggest a degree, a title, a count of years in the field, or an institution standing behind the work. This site has none of those, and inventing them would turn verifiable work into unverifiable work.

It exists for one reason: everything here is written to the same judgement, so when something is wrong there is a single place the error lands, instead of a pile of anonymous copy.

The way to judge whether anything here can be trusted is to check whether we handed you a source you can open yourself. Every claim about platform rules links to Binance's public help pages or to the announcement that governs.

Which sections this byline covers

• Pools and Launchpool: how the split is calculated, when tokens arrive, and the full sequence of a first round.
• Points, Alpha and TGE: how points accrue, how the score line forms, and what each point actually costs.
• Claiming, snapshots and eligibility: how snapshots are taken, which positions count, and how to diagnose a missed airdrop.
• Cost and risk: working out the real cost, the wallet-versus-exchange trade-off, and spotting fake airdrops.
• Opening an account: registration, identity verification, account security.
• Tools: five browser-side calculators implementing the published rules, with nothing fetched from anywhere.

How the material is checked

Rules come from one kind of source only: the exchange's public help pages, campaign announcements and fee schedule. Claims are checked against them line by line, the month of checking is stated at the foot of the piece, and the live page is named as the authority. Thresholds and fees move, so a dated range goes in ahead of a single confident figure that will be wrong by the quarter.

Images are real screenshots of publicly accessible pages, and every caption carries the month of capture. When no such page exists, the description goes into words instead of a picture. We do not leave placeholders pointing at images that don't exist, and we do not describe a picture as "from testing" when it isn't.

Experience-based remarks — "this is the step where people get stuck" — come from actually walking the process. Those remarks never carry precise timestamps or amounts, because that kind of false precision is less trustworthy than admitting the vagueness.

The full writing discipline, the limits on AI involvement and the fact-checking routine are in the editorial policy.

What never appears under this byline

• Price predictions or calls. Nothing here will tell you what a token is going to be worth.
• Investment advice. We describe the rules and the costs; the decision is yours.
• Unchecked numbers. If we couldn't find it, we say we couldn't find it rather than guessing.
• Invented personal history. Including fabricated trades, profit screenshots and timelines added to sound credible.

When something is wrong

Things will be wrong sometimes. Errors found after publication are logged openly in corrections: what changed, when, and why the original was wrong.

That page deliberately excludes pre-launch draft changes. Listing versions no reader ever saw would make the log look weightier than it is.

Getting in touch

Pointing out a mistake is the most welcome kind of message we get. The address is on contact, and a screenshot or URL of what you saw makes it far easier to act on.

We keep no personal social accounts here and claim no institutional endorsement. POOLROW does not belong to Binance, acts for nobody there, and speaks only for itself. Some links here carry a referral parameter; that is set out in the disclosure.
