Methodology

Updated October 2026

No provider on Crypto Trade Atlas is scored differently from another - the same weighted criteria apply to all of them. Here's exactly what goes into that score.

Where the Data Comes From

Each provider's score is built from publicly available information - the provider's own fee/terms pages, official announcements, and, where available, independent incident reports. Facts shown in a review's "at a glance" table are updated as part of each content refresh.

Keeping This Current

Reviews get periodically re-checked for fee, policy, and status changes. The "Updated" date shown reflects when we last verified it, separate from when the provider itself changed anything.

Corrections
