1. Statement of Commercial Transparency (FTC Compliance)
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Revised Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), and international consumer protection standards, CryptoReview (https://cryptoreview.us/) provides this full, unambiguous disclosure regarding our revenue models, referral partnerships, and editorial independence.
2. Affiliate Relationships & Outbound Links
To sustain our independent research team, infrastructure, and anti-fraud review screening, CryptoReview participates in select affiliate referral programs:
- Certain outbound links pointing to cryptocurrency exchanges, hardware wallet manufacturers, or Web3 software tools are coded with affiliate referral identifiers.
- If a visitor clicks on an affiliate link and subsequently registers an account, initiates a trade, or purchases a hardware wallet device, CryptoReview may receive a referral commission from the merchant partner.
- Zero Cost to You: Clicking an affiliate link incurs absolutely no additional charge, subscription fee, or elevated trading markup for you. In many instances, our partnership links provide readers with discounted trading fees or promotional welcome credits.
3. Strict "Zero Pay-to-Play" Integrity Guarantee
Our commercial partnerships operate behind a strict editorial firewall. No company, exchange founder, or PR firm can buy favorable coverage, alter ratings, or suppress genuine criticism on CryptoReview.
- No Paid Rating Adjustments: Companies cannot pay to inflate their TrustScore or 5-star rating. Star ratings are the pure arithmetic mean of verified community reviews.
- No Negative Review Removal: We never remove, suppress, or hide authentic negative reviews in exchange for advertising spend or affiliate partnerships.
- No Sponsored Ranking Positions: Top positions in comparison matrices and category directories are determined solely by objective metrics (security audits, fees, liquidity, verified reviews), not commercial bids.
- Equal Standard for All: Partners with affiliate programs are evaluated using the exact same rigorous methodology as non-monetized open-source protocols.
4. User Discretion & Alternative Navigation
We believe in complete user autonomy. If you prefer that your platform visit not be attributed through an affiliate link, you may navigate directly to any reviewed platform by typing their official URL (provided in our fact sheets) directly into your browser's address bar.
