Editorial standards and corrections

Who publishes this

The publisher of every page on this domain is Base Volume Bot, the team that builds and operates the tool, working from Aarhus, Denmark. Pages carry no individual byline. That is deliberate: a personal name is only a trust signal if a reader can verify that the person exists and actually stands behind the text. Where we cannot offer that, we name the organisation and take the responsibility at that level instead.

The structured data says the same thing. The author and publisher of every page point at the same Organization entity, and that entity names this page as its publishing principles, its ethics policy and its corrections policy. A postal address and a working email address are published on the contact page so that there is a real party to hold to this.

Where the numbers come from

Any figure on this site that describes the service itself is read from the configuration the service runs on, not retyped by hand. That is why the pricing section, the FAQ, the machine-readable endpoints and the console cannot disagree with each other.

• The flat 1% fee
• The 20 ETH minimum volume, so the smallest possible fee is 0.2 ETH
• The maker ceiling, the volume range and the duration limits quoted in the specifications
• The registered office and the contact address

Figures that describe the Base network or a third-party aggregator are not ours and are not presented as measurements. Where we describe how DEX Screener, DexTools or a trending board behaves, we are describing observed behaviour, not a published formula, and we say so.

How a page is produced

Four rules decide what ends up on a page.

• Scope. A page answers one question. A second question gets its own page rather than a paragraph buried in this one.
• Drafting. Console and cycle behaviour is written from the system as it actually runs. A feature that is not live is not described in the present tense.
• Review. Pages describing the fee model, the custody model or the cycle mechanics are re-read whenever any of those change, and the date on a page moves only when its content actually changed.
• Plain language. A guide that needs a disclaimer to be accurate gets the disclaimer in the same paragraph, not in small print at the bottom.

What counts as a primary source

We separate three kinds of statement and try to make it obvious which kind you are reading.

• On-chain fact. Settled Base mainnet activity. Anyone can reproduce it from BaseScan, which is why we publish how to verify a cycle rather than asking you to take our word for it.
• Product fact. The running configuration of this service, readable live from the MCP server at /mcp and shown in the console before you confirm anything.
• Third-party fact. Aerodrome, Uniswap, DEX Screener and DexTools behaviour is described from observation and linked to the primary source where one exists. Where a claim about a trending algorithm exists only as somebody else's post, we say so rather than presenting it as settled.

Claims we do not make

These are refusals, not disclaimers added for form.

• No price outcome and no profit. Volume is an activity and visibility signal, not a price guarantee.
• No promise of a trending position. Those boards also weigh everything else trading in the same window and run formulas they do not publish.
• No invented statistics, testimonials, user counts, review scores or aggregate ratings. If a number is not real it is not published, including in structured data.
• No financial advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
• No hidden text and nothing shown to a crawler that a reader cannot also see. Every statement a search engine or an AI assistant can read on this site is on the page for the reader too.

Funding and independence

This site is funded by the service it describes: a flat 1% fee on the volume a cycle generates, paid in ETH on Base. That is a conflict of interest and we would rather state it than have you find it. There is no paid placement and no affiliate link anywhere on the site, and comparison pages name what the alternative does better.

Base Volume Bot is independent of Base, Coinbase, Aerodrome, Uniswap, DEX Screener, DexTools and BaseScan. We are not affiliated with them and do not speak for them.

Corrections

If something here is wrong we want it corrected rather than defended.

• Report it to [email protected] with the page URL and what is wrong. A transaction hash or a screenshot helps.
• Factual errors are fixed on the page itself, and the review date moves.
• A correction that changes the meaning of a page is noted on the page, not applied silently.
• A typo or a broken link is fixed without a note.

Machine-readable version

Automated readers do not have to parse this page. The same commitments are published in a form a machine can act on.

• The Organization entity names this page as its publishingPrinciples, ethicsPolicy and correctionsPolicy.
• Every published page is available as clean Markdown by requesting it with Accept: text/markdown.
• The MCP server at /mcp reads the same configuration the site renders from. Its get_limits tool exists so that an assistant can state what this service does not promise without guessing, and get_editorial_policy returns this page as structured data.
• Content usage preferences are declared as Content Signals in robots.txt, and the agent entry points are listed in llms.txt.
