Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you sign up through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Placement never changes a score. Offers, bonus amounts and expiry dates are verified daily but can change without notice — always read the official terms. Crypto assets are volatile and nothing here is financial advice.

Frequently asked questions

Short, dated answers. Every figure links back to the review it came from.

What is the difference between a review and a ranking?

A review is the full entity record for one platform: fees, security history, custody model, jurisdiction and hands-on notes. A ranking compares platforms on the same five weighted factors.

How do you score security?

Custody model, proof-of-reserves publication, insurance cover, past incidents and how the platform handled them. An incident we can verify lowers the score even if it happened years ago.

Can I trust the "verified" date?

Yes — it is the date a human on our team last opened the platform and checked the figures on that page, not the date the page was last edited.
