About cryptocompare.uk

Who we are

cryptocompare.uk is a small editorial project run by people who have been in crypto since 2017 — long enough to have watched exchanges collapse, “guaranteed” yields evaporate and marketing copy age like milk. We write about the CryptoCompare data platform, its API and apps, and the surrounding tooling: wallets, exchanges, KYC systems and off-ramps. Our default posture is the security auditor’s: assume nothing, verify everything, write down the failure modes.

What we are not

How we work

Three editorial rules govern everything published here:

1. Facts get attributed. When we quote a hard number about CryptoCompare products — API rate limits, tiers, coin counts — we take it from the official cryptocompare.com site or its documentation and say so. Where a figure is volatile, we tell you to check the official page instead of inventing a stale one.
2. Opinions get labelled. When we say a feature is clunky or a fee structure is unfriendly, that is our judgement, presented as judgement. You will never find an opinion dressed up as a specification.
3. Security first. Every guide that touches funds explains the custodial/non-custodial divide — exchange means someone else holds your keys; a non-custodial wallet is your personal safe, and a lost seed phrase has no support desk. If a page could get a beginner hurt, the warning goes in before the convenience.

How we make money

Honestly, and in one paragraph. Some buttons on this site link to third-party trading platforms. Those links always carry rel="nofollow", they are visually distinct from editorial links, and if a reader signs up through one we may earn a commission. That revenue keeps the site running — and it never buys a factual claim. Whether a platform pays us or not has zero influence on what we report about its fees, outages or KYC pain, and no partner previews or approves our text. If we ever could not say something negative about a partner, we would drop the partner, not the sentence.

What we will never do

We will never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, exchange passwords or 2FA codes — nobody legitimate will. We do not offer investment advice, we do not promise profits, and we do not run an exchange or wallet, so we cannot hold, move or recover anyone’s funds. The full legal version lives in our Terms of Use.
