About Us

Chain Market Guide is an independent review and ranking site for people comparing crypto exchanges. We are not an exchange, broker, wallet provider, or trading desk. Our job is to make a crowded, jargon-heavy market easier to judge before you hand over money or identity documents.

Our reviews look at five practical areas: fees, security, market access and liquidity, usability and customer support, and trust and transparency. We read the small print, compare quoted and effective costs, examine custody and account protections, and look for evidence that a platform communicates clearly when things go wrong.

Some links on this site may generate a commission. Those relationships help fund the research, but they do not determine rankings or scores. We would rather lose a commercial opportunity than recommend a service we would not be comfortable using ourselves.
