How we make money

Affiliate partnerships

When you click an outbound link to a crypto exchange or bridge from one of our reviews and complete a qualifying action (typically signing up and trading), the platform pays us a commission. Commission rates vary by partner — some pay a one-time CPA, some pay a percentage of trading fees for a lifetime.

What this does NOT change

• Scoring weights. Commission rates have zero weight in our scoring algorithm. The pillars and weights are public on our methodology page.
• Ranking order. Lists are sorted by overall score, not by what platforms pay us.
• Editorial decisions. No platform pre-approves what we publish about them. We've published unfavourable reviews of platforms we earn commissions from.

Display advertising

Educational guides may show third-party display ads (e.g. Google AdSense). We do not show display ads on review pages, comparison pages, or "best of" lists — those pages are affiliate-funded only, to keep page experience clean and trust intact.

What you can hold us to

If you spot a score, claim, or fee that looks wrong, tell us. Corrections are logged at the bottom of the affected review, with a date.
