Cómo puntuamos on-ramps

Cada on-ramps que reseñamos se puntúa con los mismos 5 pilares y los pesos de abajo. La puntuación total es una media ponderada, la misma matemática que aplicamos a todos los silos.

Cost

35% peso
  • All-in fee on a $500 test purchase (card vs open-banking)
  • Spread above market mid at the moment of fiat conversion
  • Network fee passed through to user vs absorbed
  • Hidden FX margin on non-USD purchases

Speed

20% peso
  • Time from approved KYC to first available purchase
  • Card-rail settlement (typically instant)
  • Bank-rail settlement (ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments)
  • Time to wallet credit after fiat clears

Payment Methods

20% peso
  • Card-rail support (debit + credit + Apple/Google Pay)
  • Bank-rail support (ACH, SEPA, FPS, PayID, Pix)
  • Open-banking integration depth
  • Direct-to-wallet vs deposit-then-withdraw

Country Coverage

15% peso
  • Number of supported countries
  • Region-specific licenses (FinCEN, FCA, AUSTRAC, etc.)
  • Payment methods available in the local market
  • Local fiat currency support

KYC Friction

10% peso
  • Tier-1 limit (the no-KYC ceiling, where one exists)
  • Documentation requirements at the next tier
  • Time to verification on a real new account
  • Privacy posture on data retention

— Cómo probamos —

We run a real $500 test purchase on each on-ramp using the dominant payment method for our test country (US: ACH + card; UK: open-banking + card; AU: PayID). We measure the all-in fee — what fiat went in, what crypto came out, valued at market mid at the moment of receipt. We re-test on a card rail as a cross-check. We document KYC friction by tracking elapsed time from first attempt to first usable account.

— Cómo se calcula la puntuación total —

overall = cost * 0.35
          + speed * 0.20
          + payment_methods * 0.20
          + country_coverage * 0.15
          + kyc_friction * 0.10

El resultado se redondea a un decimal. Usamos una escala 0-5 porque el ojo humano lee "4,2/5" con más precisión que "8,4/10" o "84/100".
