Affiliate Disclosure
1. What this disclosure covers
Simi Ventures GmbH, which operates ChainChoice, may earn a commission when you follow certain links on this site and then sign up with, deposit at or transact with a third-party crypto provider. This page explains how that works and what it cannot change.
2. Which links can pay a commission
An outbound link to a provider may carry that provider's referral parameter. When such a link is followed and the provider confirms a qualifying action, the operator may receive a commission. The terms differ by provider and are not published here.
Links to news articles, methodology pages, regulators and other reference material are not referral links.
3. How commission is kept out of rankings
Provider scoring is computed, not written. The published order is a weighted sum of five dimensions: Availability, Published criteria, Friction, Trust record and Measured data. Profile match is shown in breakdowns but carries no weight. Commission is not an input, and the build fails if any module that computes an order can import partner, payout or click data.
Providers cannot buy placement, a score or coverage. There is no sponsored tier. The scoring method is published at /methodology.
When two providers have the same score, whether either pays a commission plays no part in which is listed first.
4. How to verify
Every published score, with its dimension scores, weights, constants and formula, is in /data/rankings.json, and each score can be rebuilt from that file. The methodology changelog at /methodology/changelog lists every version with its changes.
If you think a ranking is influenced by a commercial relationship, email mathias@cryptopaymentfinder.com with the page and the concern.
5. Avoiding referral links
To avoid a referral link, type the provider's address into your browser instead of following the link. The order, the scores and the method stay the same.
