About

KripZen grades crypto exchanges A to F on five things a customer can check: proof of reserves, custody, licensing, loss cover and incident record. Every grade is built from the exchange’s own published documents and public regulator registers, with the date we checked them and links to the sources.

What you will find here

• A rating report for every graded exchange, with its licences, base fees and sources
• Lists built on one stated rule, such as lowest published fees or most licences
• A record of major exchange failures and what each one taught
• Plain-language guides, coin guides, a glossary in eight languages and free calculators

What we are not

We are not an exchange, a broker or an adviser. You cannot deposit or trade here, and nothing on KripZen is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. We do not open accounts or test exchanges with our own money: our work is desk research from primary sources.

How the site is paid for

Some links to exchanges can be partner links that pay us a commission if you open an account. They are labelled, shown only where promotion is allowed, and never change a grade or a list. Advertising is marked as advertising. The details are in our affiliate disclosure and editorial policy.

Who writes it

Content is produced by KripZen’s editorial desks, credited on each page and described on the authors page. If you spot an error, tell us and we will check it against the source.

Risk

Crypto-assets are volatile and largely unprotected, and you can lose all the money you put in. A grade describes what an exchange discloses; it does not say your money is safe there.
