How we score services
Our 0-10 score is about overall trust, not just the KYC stance. Here is exactly what goes into it.

Methodology
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.
