View-only by construction

When you connect a wallet, ChainChoice reads public on-chain state at your address and nothing else. No signature is ever requested for a transaction, no private keys are seen, no seed phrases are seen. The worst-case data ChainChoice can hold is your public address, which is already published on-chain by every transaction you have ever made.

• No transaction permissions. No spend approvals.
• No custody. ChainChoice cannot move, lock, or pledge any asset.
• Disconnect from your browser at any time — cached locally, never on the server without your consent.

Methodology, in public

Every score is the output of a published method. The weights, signal sources, eligibility filters, and version history are all visible. When the scoring computation changes, the diff is published.

Editorial standards

Reviews follow a structured editorial template — the same rubric applied across every category, every provider, every revision. Every review is dated, sourced, and updated when the underlying provider changes its terms.

Affiliate disclosure

ChainChoice earns commission when readers act on some — not all — recommendations. Affiliate links are always disclosed inline at the recommendation, never buried in a privacy policy. Affiliate status does not influence rank: the engine is run before the commercial layer, and the methodology page documents both.

• Inline disclosure: "ChainChoice earns $X if you use this provider" beside every paid link.
• No paid placement: providers cannot purchase a higher score.
• Affiliate revenue is reported quarterly in the methodology changelog.

Public accuracy track record

A quarterly accuracy report is published: how often top-ranked picks remained #1 over time, where the engine was wrong, and what changed in response. Past versions of every page remain in the public archive — a score that turned out wrong cannot be quietly rewritten.

Privacy + data retention

Wallet addresses, profile drafts, and saved decisions live in your browser by default. User data is never sold or shared. If you create an account, only what is required to run the features you opted into is retained, and it can be exported or deleted at any time.
