How We Rate Platforms
Every platform profile on this site is assigned a Quality Score between 0 and 100. This score determines visibility — platforms with incomplete data stay in draft until they meet the minimum threshold. Here is exactly how it works.
Quality Score Breakdown
| Criterion | Max points | What we measure |
|---|---|---|
| Content completeness | 30 pts | A full profile includes name, logo, descriptions in all locales, fee schedule, website URL, and a primary category. |
| Reviews | 25 pts | At least 3 published user reviews with verified ratings. Higher weight is given to platforms with a review count above 10. |
| Chain coverage | 20 pts | The number of supported chains, distinguishing native deployments from bridged liquidity. |
| Trading pairs | 15 pts | Number of tracked trading pairs from our standardized taxonomy. We cap the contribution to avoid gaming. |
| Affiliate transparency | 10 pts | Whether a disclosed referral program exists. We list commission rates openly so readers can assess any commercial relationship. |
| Total | 100 pts |

Editorial Independence
Platforms cannot pay to improve their Quality Score. Referral partnerships are disclosed on every page where a tracking link exists. Our editorial picks (Best-of lists) are determined solely by Quality Score and user review averages — not commercial relationships. If you believe a score is incorrect, contact us with evidence and we will re-evaluate.
Data Freshness
Quality Scores are recalculated automatically every night at 03:00 UTC. Individual platform pages are statically generated and revalidated every 24 hours, or immediately when new data is ingested via our pipeline. Review pages revalidate every hour to reflect new user reviews quickly.
