About Us

Updated October 2026

Chain Ratings is an independent review and ranking site for crypto exchanges. We do not run an exchange, hold customer deposits, execute trades, or sell crypto. Our job is simpler: help people sort credible platforms from expensive, confusing, and potentially risky ones.

Our ratings look at five areas that shape a real customer experience: security, fees, asset access, usability, and customer support. We read the small print, compare live pricing where possible, test core account journeys, and revisit scores when a meaningful policy or product change appears.

Some links on this site can generate a commission. That revenue helps fund research, but it does not set a ranking. A platform cannot pay for a stronger score, and we are prepared to rate popular services poorly if the evidence points that way.
