Last updated: 1 October 2026
This Legal Notice governs your use of chaindepin.com (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.
1. Site operator
The Site is published and operated by:
- Operator / publisher: ChainSignal (operated by DePIN Media)
- Registered address: [Your registered business address]
- Company registration number: [Your company registration number]
- VAT / tax ID: [Your VAT or tax identification number, if applicable]
- Contact email: [email protected]
- Responsible for content (V.i.S.d.P.): [Name of responsible person]
Operator details above are shown as placeholders. Replace every field in square brackets with your registered legal entity, address and registration details before relying on this page.
2. Nature of the service — no investment advice
ChainSignal publishes independent research, comparison and educational content about crypto exchanges, wallets and on-chain tools. All content is provided for general information only.
Nothing on the Site is:
- investment, financial, legal, tax or accounting advice;
- a recommendation, solicitation or offer to buy, sell or hold any crypto asset, security or financial product;
- a promise or guarantee of any result, return or bonus.
Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and involves a high risk of losing all of your capital. You are solely responsible for your own decisions and for carrying out your own due diligence. Before using any platform, verify its licensing status and the applicable rules in your jurisdiction. If you are unsure, seek advice from an independent, qualified professional.
3. Affiliate and advertising disclosure
The Site is funded through affiliate and referral partnerships. When you sign up or trade through certain links on the Site, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This funding model keeps our research free and independent.
We disclose this clearly because transparency matters to us:
- Affiliate relationships never influence a score, ranking or verdict. Providers who ask for preferential placement are declined.
- Rankings are driven by a published methodology, measured fees and tested features — not by commission size.
- Sponsored placements, where they exist at all, are labelled as such.
Our full approach is set out on the Affiliate Disclosure and How We Rank pages.
4. Accuracy of information
We work hard to keep fees, features, bonuses and dates accurate, and every figure is date-stamped. Even so, exchange terms change frequently and we cannot guarantee that all information is complete, current or error-free at the moment you read it. Always confirm the current terms directly with the platform before you act on them.
If you spot an error, please tell us at [email protected] and we will correct it.
5. External links
The Site contains links to third-party websites (exchanges, wallets, tools and sources). Those sites are not under our control and we are not responsible for their content, products, security or privacy practices. Linking to a site does not imply endorsement of it. Access third-party sites at your own risk and review their own terms and policies.
6. Intellectual property
All original content on the Site — text, rankings, methodology, design, logos and code — is owned by or licensed to the operator and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws.
You may read, share links to, and quote short excerpts of our content with clear attribution and a link back to the source page. You may not reproduce, scrape, republish or resell substantial parts of the Site, or use our name or marks, without our prior written permission.
All third-party names, logos and trademarks (for example exchange brands) remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and editorial purposes only.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage arising from:
- your use of, or inability to use, the Site;
- reliance on any information published on the Site;
- your dealings with any third-party platform linked from the Site;
- loss of funds, data or profits in connection with any crypto asset.
Nothing in this notice excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (for example, liability for intent or gross negligence, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence).
8. Availability and changes
We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, and we may update this Legal Notice. The “Last updated” date above shows the current version. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated notice.
9. Applicable law and jurisdiction
This Legal Notice and any dispute arising from your use of the Site are governed by the laws of [your governing jurisdiction], without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country of residence. Subject to those rules, the courts of [your governing jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions
Short, dated answers. Every figure links back to the review it came from.
Where does the fee data come from?
The published maker/taker schedule on the platform plus a $1,000 market order we place ourselves to measure realised spread. Where the two disagree we publish both.
How do you measure liquidity depth?
Order-book depth within 1% of mid price on BTC, ETH and one mid-cap pair, sampled three times a day over a week.
What disqualifies a platform?
Unresolved withdrawal blocks, undisclosed custody of client assets, or refusal to publish a fee schedule. A disqualified platform is removed from the ranking rather than scored low.
Compare platforms on numbers, not marketing
Reader-funded, weekly re-verified, no paid placements.
The rate changes before the headlines do
One email each Tuesday: the offers that changed, the fees we re-measured and the platforms we downgraded.
