Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-06-28
Plain-English Summary
We recommend no-KYC DEXs based on quality and usefulness — not on who pays us. Some links on this site earn us a commission if you trade through them. This never changes our scores or rankings, and it costs you nothing extra.
What Are Referral Links?
A referral link is a specially tracked URL, often carrying a referral code. When you click one and trade on the platform, the platform's system records that the referral came from Stackflow and pays us a commission — typically a percentage of trading fees generated, settled on-chain or off-chain depending on the program. The fees you pay are exactly the same (or lower, with some referral codes) as if you had gone directly to the platform.
How We Use Commissions
Commissions fund the research, writing, and technical work required to maintain this site. Without referral income, we could not offer free, ad-light access to detailed DEX comparisons.
What Affiliate Relationships Do NOT Affect
- Quality Scores — Calculated automatically from objective data (content completeness, user reviews, chain coverage, self-custody guarantees). Platforms cannot pay to improve their score.
- Rankings — Best-of lists are sorted by Quality Score and review average. Commercial relationships have zero weight in rankings.
- Editorial content — Pros, cons, and review summaries are based on user reviews and verified data, not platform input.
How to Identify Referral Links
Pages containing referral links display this notice near the top:
Additionally, the "Visit Website" and "Get Started" buttons on platform profile pages are referral links when an active program exists for that platform. The commission rate and settlement details are disclosed in the platform's Affiliate Program section.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure complies with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and the EU's requirements for commercial communications. We believe transparency is the foundation of useful recommendations. Nothing on this site constitutes financial advice.
