Bond Finance – Editorial & Submission Guidelines

At Bond Finance, our mission is to deliver high-quality, accurate, and news-worthy press releases across the Web3, fintech, blockchain, and emerging-technology sectors. To maintain a consistent editorial standard and ensure every release is publishable across our partner network, we require all submissions to follow the guidelines below.

These rules help protect the credibility of your announcement, improve distribution success, and ensure your content performs well across our publishing partners.

1. Title & Summary Requirements

Headline Guidelines

Keep headlines succinct: 8–17 words is optimal
Headlines must be clear, news-driven, and accurately reflect the body content.
Avoid special characters in titles: &, %, TM, @, $, # or similar.
Use active verbs and professional language.
Avoid exaggerated or promotional wording.
Your headline should remain under 110 characters if your package includes distribution to outlets with headline limits.

2. Acceptable Press Release Structure

A valid Bond Finance press release must:

Present a clear corporate announcement, update, partnership, milestone, product launch, or other newsworthy event.
Contain 300–1000 words of structured, objective content.
Be written in third person only (avoid “I”, “we”, “you”).
Avoid investment advice, predictions, or forward-looking guarantees.
Maintain a formal, journalistic tone — not advertising style.
Avoid unsupported claims, sensational language, or hype.
Contain clean formatting: no JavaScript, tables, hidden characters, or non-ASCII symbols.
Include authentic, verifiable quotes only.
Use proper hyperlinks.
Links must include http:// or https://

3. Formatting & Technical Requirements

Forbidden characters

Your content must not contain:

Latin characters with diacritics (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū)
Hidden Unicode characters such as ‍ or zero-width spaces
(You can verify using https://mothereff.in/html-entities)

Images & Media

Your package may include 0–1 featured image depending on the plan.
Images must be JPG, PNG, or WebP, under 5MB.
If you choose not to upload an image yourself where a specific site requires it, we will use our judgment to add one for you

Quotes

Only include statements from real individuals associated with the company.
Do not fabricate quotes or attribute statements to unnamed persons.

4. Company Contact Details (Required)

Bond Finance requires a company information section via the dedicated form (not inside the press release body).
You must supply:

Project Name
Full Name of Contact Person
Official Company Email
Company Website
Country

These details must not be placed inside the press release text — they belong in the submission form only.
