How We Review Crypto Platforms
A clear, independent and repeatable process for researching crypto exchanges and wallets. We check facts against official sources, record when we checked them, and publish results market by market.
Our review foundation
Three commitments shape how we research, evaluate and write about crypto platforms.
Independence
Our conclusions are based on our own research and published criteria — not on partner input or payment. Partners can't review content before it's published.
Disclosures
We have no active affiliate partnerships today. If we add any, we will disclose them next to the links they apply to.
Evaluation principles
- Official sources, each with the date checked
- A consistent, criteria-based framework
- Results published market by market
- No scores until a documented rubric exists
Our step-by-step methodology
We evaluate exchanges and wallets on the same seven criteria, so platforms can be compared fairly within each market.
- 1
Market availability
Where the platform operates, which countries and regions it serves, and any key restrictions such as identity checks or local rules.
Sources: Official eligibility pages and regulatory registers
- 2
Product scope
What it offers — spot trading, staking or other products — and which of those are available in each market.
Sources: Product pages and terms, per market
- 3
Usability
How easy it is to set up and use: onboarding, interface, help resources and mobile apps.
Sources: Official documentation; hands-on use only where stated
- 4
Costs
Trading fees, spreads, deposit and withdrawal charges and other costs that affect what you actually pay.
Sources: Official fee schedules, with the date checked
- 5
Custody & security
How customer assets are held, the account protections available, and publicly reported incidents.
Sources: Security documentation and public disclosures
- 6
Disclosures & terms
How clearly the platform explains its terms, risks and legal entity for each market.
Sources: Terms of service, risk notices, legal pages
- 7
Ongoing updates
Pages show a last-verified date once their facts are checked, and say Pending until then. A re-check schedule based on how often each fact changes is planned.
Status: planned
Affiliate relationships & editorial independence
Quasight is reader-supported. We currently have no active affiliate partnerships. If we add them, we may earn a commission when you sign up through our links, at no extra cost to you — and they will not influence our evaluations or conclusions.Read our disclosure
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about our methodology, coverage and how we keep reviews accurate. Spotted an error? Tell us — see our editorial policy.
Are your reviews independent?
Yes. Our conclusions are based on our own research and published criteria. Partners cannot review or approve our content before publication, and writers evaluate products without regard to commission rates.
How do you score and compare platforms?
We compare every platform on the same seven criteria, one market at a time. We do not publish numeric scores, star ratings or "best" rankings until a documented, reproducible rubric and the evidence behind it are in place.
Do you receive compensation from the platforms you review?
Not at the moment — we have no active affiliate partnerships. If that changes, affiliate links will be labelled next to the link, and they will never decide a verdict.
How often do you update your reviews?
Each page shows the date its facts were last verified, or "pending" if they have not been verified yet. A re-check schedule based on how often each type of fact changes is planned; we will describe it here once it is in operation.
