We cover exchanges as the alternative most ATM users should consider first, because the fee difference is usually an order of magnitude. That makes honest fee accounting the centre of everything we publish here.
What we want
- Fee structures compared honestly – spread and withdrawal costs included, not just the headline trading fee
- Custody, proof-of-reserves, and what happens to customer assets in an insolvency
- Onboarding friction: what verification actually requires and how long it really takes
- Outage and incident histories, sourced
What we decline
- Referral-driven “best exchange” rankings
- Reviews quoting only the advertised fee
- Exchange press releases
- Trading strategy or signals content
A pitch that would work
What $200 actually converts to across four exchanges and one ATM, measured at the same minute, with every fee itemised.
Rates
Submissions are currently free. We are building this section and would rather have good crypto exchanges reporting than early revenue, so there is no fee to submit or to publish right now. Paid placement will open later; when it does it will be clearly labelled and the editorial standards on this page will not change.
What payment will never buy: a directory listing, a better position in it, or publication of something that fails fact-checking. See the sponsored content policy and our affiliate disclosure.
Requirements
- 1,000-1,500 words, original, not published anywhere else.
- Sources linked inline to primary material – filings, fee schedules, operator records.
- A real author bio and a verifiable identity.
- We edit for accuracy and house style, and we fact-check before publishing. See our editorial process.
- Unfamiliar terms are defined in our crypto glossary – use it rather than re-explaining basics.
Questions
Do you accept exchange comparisons?
Yes, if the methodology is stated and reproducible, and if affiliate relationships are disclosed. Rankings ordered by payout are declined.
Can exchanges contribute?
With disclosure and labelling. We still fact-check, and we still edit.
What about DEXs?
Yes – see also our DeFi page. The same honesty standard about cost and risk applies.

- General submissions
Before you pitch
Read something we have published, and look at the ATM directory – it is the centre of the site and the reason our standards on sourcing are what they are. Then send the topic, your angle, and one sentence on what makes it different from what already ranks.
