Methodology

Where our facts come from

Fees, leverage limits, margin rules, and program terms are taken from each platform's official documentation and verified on the date shown on the page. On-chain metrics (volume, open interest) come from public analytics sources, cited inline. When we cannot verify a claim, we say so rather than repeating it.

What we weigh in reviews

• Security track record — audits, incidents, and how the team handled them.
• Real trading costs — taker/maker fees, funding, spreads, and gas.
• Liquidity — depth and volume, not marketing claims.
• Transparency — open-source components, proof of reserves, documentation quality.
• Usability — onboarding, deposits/withdrawals, platform stability.

Referral links

Some links are referral links, disclosed in the footer of every page. Ratings are determined before monetization is considered, and pages about platforms with no referral program follow the same template as pages about platforms with one.
