Referral disclosure

Some links on this site may route to referral pages. If a reader signs up or uses an exchange through one of those links, the site owner may receive compensation. This disclosure does not make a page final, prove a claim, or recommend that a reader trade, deposit, open an account, or choose an exchange.

Risk warning

Crypto assets and exchange accounts involve risk, including price volatility, custody risk, account restrictions, fees, withdrawal delays, outages, and possible loss. This page is educational and is not financial, legal, tax, regulatory, or investment advice.

Why it matters

Why disclosure matters

Referral links can create a material connection between a site owner and a company. A reader should see that context before acting on exchange-related copy, especially when content discusses account setup, fees, availability, transparency, security, or referral terms.

Review flow

A simple review flow

Read the risk warning and referral disclosure before reviewing any exchange path.
Check whether disclosure appears close to each conversion-oriented action.
Use the beginner checklist before comparing exchange options.
Use the account security checklist before relying on a centralized exchange account.
Route non-generic disclosure, reward, channel, privacy, geography, or terms statements through source review before publication.

Checklist

Disclosure checklist topics

Material connection

Does the page clearly say the site owner may benefit from a referral action?

Placement near CTA

Can a reader see disclosure before acting on exchange-related copy?

Plain language

Is the disclosure direct enough for a beginner to understand without reading policy files?

Source notes

Are program, reward, channel, or terms statements separated from generic education until reviewed?

Risk context

Does the page keep crypto risk context visible before conversion-oriented copy?

Privacy and measurement

Does tracking stay within approved privacy, consent, cookie, and retention rules?

CTA review

CTA review checklist

Do not use reward promises, urgency based on live promotions, ranking claims, or universal suitability claims.
Do not treat disclosure as proof that a linked exchange is suitable, cheaper, safer, or available for a reader.
Do not route readers to exchange go-pages from this checklist until launch, source, legal, privacy, analytics, distribution, and referral-term gates clear.
Do not add referral CTA events or analytics scripts before privacy and measurement gates clear.

Source boundaries

Source-review boundaries

Use the source registry workflow for any future non-generic disclosure, program, reward, channel, privacy, geography, or terms claim. Final public wording still needs owner review, legal or compliance review, target geography decisions, source rows, and channel approval.
