CHAINTOOL
Affiliate Disclosure
Some of the exchange sign-up links on this site are affiliate links. If you create an account through one of them, ChainTool may earn a commission from that exchange. This costs you nothing extra — the commission comes from the exchange's own marketing budget, not from any fee added to your account.
What we pass back to you
We don't keep the whole commission. Through ChainTool's links on exchanges where we hold a live referral code, we pass 20% of our referral commission back to you as a 20% reduction in your trading fees on that exchange — the maximum our affiliate accounts allow. It applies only to accounts opened through our links, is set up in each exchange's own affiliate panel, and the exchange's own terms govern it: rates can change, and the sign-up page shows what applies when you register. It is not a bonus and not a promise of any amount, and it doesn't touch withdrawal fees or any figure on this site.
What this does and doesn't affect
It doesn't affect the numbers. Withdrawal fees, network counts, and every other figure on this site are read directly from each exchange's own public API, the same way regardless of whether ChainTool has an affiliate relationship with that exchange. A commission arrangement has no code path into how a fee, a network list, or an asset count is calculated.
It does affect which sign-up link you see. A button on this site points to the real affiliate link once one exists for that exchange; until then, it points to the exchange's own plain sign-up page instead, clearly marked as not an affiliate link.
How to tell which is which
Every sign-up button on this site carries a short note directly underneath it — either that it's an affiliate link, or that it's the exchange's official page and not yet an affiliate one. Nothing is hidden in fine print elsewhere.
Fomo (not an exchange)
The Fomo invite link on the Fomo guide is a referral link: ChainTool may be rewarded if you sign up through it, under Fomo's own referral program, which Fomo can change or cancel at any time. It does not change any figure on the site. The fee-cut claim for that code comes from Fomo's in-app invite card, is not stated on any public Fomo page, and is dated on the guide.
