Our editorial policy
Chain Wealth is committed to accurate, unbiased, and independently produced content. This policy explains how we maintain that standard while operating a referral-based business model.
Contents
1. Editorial independence
All editorial content on Chain Wealth — including exchange reviews, comparison scores, educational articles, and platform rankings — is produced independently of our commercial partnerships. No exchange, advertiser, or investor can influence, approve, or veto our editorial content.
The following commercial activities do not influence our editorial decisions:
- Referral or affiliate partnerships with exchanges
- Advertising placements on the site
- Promotional or co-marketing agreements
- Free account access provided by an exchange for review purposes
2. Affiliate disclosure
Chain Wealth earns revenue when readers click through to an exchange and create an account. We may receive a fixed fee or a percentage of the exchange's revenue from that account for a defined period. This is our primary business model.
We disclose this relationship prominently on every page where affiliate links appear, using the phrase: "We may earn a referral fee — never affects our rankings."
💡 Important: Exchanges with affiliate partnerships are subject to the same scoring methodology as those without. An exchange cannot buy a higher score, a featured placement, or the removal of negative findings by entering a commercial relationship with us.
3. Accuracy and corrections
We make every reasonable effort to ensure our content is accurate and up to date. All exchange fees, features, and regulatory information is verified at the time of review and updated on a monthly basis.
If we publish a factual error, we will:
- Correct the error promptly upon verification
- Note the correction at the bottom of the affected page with a date
- If significant, issue a note explaining what was incorrect and what has changed
To report an error, please use our contact form with the subject line "Editorial correction".
4. How we produce reviews
Each exchange review is produced by a team member with direct experience using the platform. Our review process includes live account creation, real transactions, fee verification, and support testing. We do not rely solely on marketing materials or exchange-provided data.
Reviews are written in plain English with no obligation to present exchanges favourably. Negative findings are included where they are relevant to the reader's decision.
5. Conflicts of interest
Team members who hold cryptocurrency on an exchange they are reviewing must disclose this to the editorial team before publishing. In cases where a conflict of interest cannot be managed, a different team member will conduct the review.
Chain Wealth does not accept equity stakes, loans, or financial instruments from exchanges. We do not accept free advertising, complimentary sponsorships, or gifts above nominal value.
6. Editorial contact
For editorial enquiries, corrections, complaints, or concerns about our content, please contact us at our contact page. We aim to respond within 2 business days.
