Research Portal Guide and Best Practices
Guide to submitting articles in the Research Portal
So you are a Crypto Researcher looking to submit articles in the Research Portal but aren’t sure where to start? Well look no further! The goal of this guide is to make you an CoinLion Research Portal expert!
Where to Begin
The first place I would begin within the Research Portal is the Submit Research card, found in the upper left corner of the portal home. This contains information about criteria to submitting articles, how you can earn LION from your submissions, and also some of the best practices within the platform. Keep in mind that we approve most any articles submitted so long as they aren’t against the rules we set forth, but in order to earn LION, it must meet the minimum criteria!
Starting an Article
The first step to submitting your research piece is getting to the article submission page, which can be found in multiple places. The first place this can be found is in the navigation bar, shown below:
Another place this can be found is in your profile page, which can be found by first clicking your profile icon in the upper right of the nav bar above, and then clicking My Profile. You can then click the Research tab on your profile page and then click submit research. My personal profile, for example, is shown below:
After using one of these two options, you should be brought to a page that looks similar to the one below:

The first step to writing your article is picking a category (or multiple) by checking the boxes under Type. Be sure to pick a category that best describes what type of content your article will have!
After picking a Category, the next steps are to type a Title for your article into the Title box and to choose a header image for your article in the Image box. Though a header image is not a requirement, you will need one to meet the criteria to earn LION. If you don’t have a header image yourself, you can find ones that we have premade under the Crypto Resources tab on the Research Portal navigation bar.
The next step is typing out your article! The body of the article should be put in the Description box. The toolbar above the Description box contains multiple formatting tools and an image uploading tool for you to style your article. See below for best practices on uploading images.
You can also attach documents that are relevant to your article or that you would like to include with the attach file button below the Description box.
Best Practice for Uploading Images
If your article contains images within the body make sure to use the image uploading tool contained in the toolbar. Also make sure to remove spaces from image filename as our servers do not enjoy when images have spaces within the filename, and it will cause an error when you try to submit an article if it has these spaces. You can remove the spaces or replace them with underscores or dashes.
Submitting Your Article
After you have written your article, input a header image, picked your category, and attached any relevant documents, you are ready to submit! Once you submit your article, it will be reviewed within 1 business day by a member of the CoinLion team, and if it does not violate the rules and meets the minimum criteria, it will be published.
If it also meets the minimum requirements to qualify for rewards, you will receive a credit for the reward level that you qualify, which will be added up and distributed once the trading platform launches in early July.
