Disclosure

Our relationship with referral links, out in the openSome outbound links on this site are sponsored referral links; this page explains how that works and whether it affects you.

·How the referral works

When this site points you to an exchange's official sign-up page, the link may carry a referral tag (a referral code). If you register through it, it doesn't cost you more, but the site may earn a commission from that platform. It's one of the ways this site keeps the lights on.

·What it means for you

• Your fees don't go up because you went through a referral link.
• You're free to skip the referral link entirely and go straight to the platform's official page to register; the content here still works for you.
• Whether to register, and whether to use a given platform, is your call; this site only provides educational information.

·It doesn't change what we say

Having a referral relationship doesn't mean we only say nice things. What this site says about fees, freeze risk, regional limits and stablecoin risk has nothing to do with whether there's a commission. We also spell out who a given channel isn't right for and when you shouldn't go ahead. Any fee, promotion or regional availability goes by what the platform's official page shows in real time; we pin no numbers and we promise no returns.

·Where the real link lives

The actual referral link appears by default only on the exit notice page, marked as a sponsored link. The "pre-signup checklist card" on the home page is only there to teach you how to verify the official domain and similar details; it holds no real link, no copy button and shows no promotional numbers.
