CoinCodeCap is a free resource for crypto traders, investors, and enthusiasts. To keep our editorial team independent and our content free to access, we participate in affiliate programs. This page explains exactly how that works — and what it means for you.
How We Make Money
Some links on CoinCodeCap are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and sign up for a product or service, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you. We use a link management system called ThirstyAffiliates to manage these links transparently.
The products we link to include crypto exchanges, wallets, crypto cards, trading tools, and other financial services. Commission amounts vary by partner and may be a flat fee, a percentage of revenue, or a bounty paid when you complete a specific action (such as signing up or making a first deposit).
What This Does NOT Mean
Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial ratings, reviews, or recommendations. Here’s what that means in practice:
- We do not accept payment to give a product a higher rating or a more favorable review.
- We do not exclude products from reviews because they don’t have an affiliate program.
- We do not recommend products we wouldn’t use or recommend to a friend.
- Affiliate commissions are not a factor in our scoring methodology, editorial opinions, or “Best For” categorizations.
If a product has an affiliate program and we believe it genuinely serves our readers, we may include an affiliate link. If a product has no affiliate relationship but is the best option for a specific use case, we will still recommend it.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Articles on CoinCodeCap that contain affiliate links include a short disclosure notice near the top of the page, typically reading:
“⚠️ Affiliate Disclosure: CoinCodeCap may earn a commission if you sign up through links on this page. This never affects our ratings or reviews — our editorial team tests every product independently.”
CTA buttons (labeled “Visit [Exchange]”, “Get Card”, or similar) that link to product signup pages are typically affiliate links. Informational links within article text (linking to other CoinCodeCap articles or non-affiliate external resources) are not affiliate links.
Our Editorial Independence
CoinCodeCap’s editorial team operates independently of our commercial relationships. Our reviewers open real accounts, execute real trades, and test real products before publishing assessments. Our scoring methodology — which covers fees, security, supported assets, user experience, and rewards — is applied consistently regardless of affiliate status.
Products that have caused user harm (hacks, failed reimbursements, regulatory violations) are reported honestly and accurately, even where an affiliate relationship exists. We believe transparency builds trust — and trust is more valuable than any commission.
