Affiliate disclosure

Coinculb is free to read and carries no paywall. Some of what we do is funded by affiliate arrangements, and this page explains exactly how that works.

What an affiliate link is

Some links to exchanges, wallets and tools are affiliate links. If you open an account or make a purchase through one, we may be paid a commission by that company. It costs you nothing, and the price or terms you receive are not affected.

Where it is disclosed

Any review or article containing an affiliate link carries a disclosure box above the content, before you read our assessment — not in a footer, and not in small print.

What it does not influence

• Scores. Ratings come from the fixed criteria in our editorial guidelines, applied identically to every platform.
• Inclusion. We review platforms because readers encounter them, not because they run an affiliate programme. Several platforms we cover pay us nothing.
• Conclusions. We publish negative reviews of platforms we hold affiliate arrangements with, including recommending against them for particular readers.
• Ordering. Listings are ordered by score, never by commission.

What we do not do

We do not accept payment for coverage of a coin, token or project. We do not sell placements, listings or “sponsored analysis”. We do not allow a commercial partner to review or approve copy before publication.

Why we tell you this

Every publisher has incentives. The useful question is not whether they exist but whether they are visible and constrained. Ours are disclosed on the page where they apply, and separated from scoring by a published method — so you can judge our conclusions with the commercial context in front of you.

If you would rather not use an affiliate link, you can always navigate to any platform directly. It makes no difference to what you read here.
