How we score services

More than a KYC checkbox

A service can be no-KYC and still be a bad idea, think custodial exchangers with a history of freezing funds. Our score weighs five things: KYC stance, custody model, transparency, track record and operational health.

Tiers tell the second half of the story

Alongside the score we assign a tier from L0 (trustless) to L5 (mandatory ID). The score tells you how good a service is overall; the tier answers the precise question that brought you here.

Re-checks

Uptime is monitored automatically and policies are re-read whenever something changes, so a service that quietly adds verification gets re-rated.
