Frequently Asked Questions

How do you rate cryptocurrencies?
Each coin is evaluated across four dimensions: technology and architecture (consensus, scalability, innovation), tokenomics (supply model, utility, distribution), team and development (track record, GitHub activity, roadmap execution), and risk assessment (competition, regulatory exposure, security history). The final rating is a weighted average on a 1-5 scale.
Are these reviews financial advice?
No. Our reviews are for educational and informational purposes only. Cryptocurrency investments are highly volatile and carry significant risk. Always do your own research (DYOR) and consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
How often are reviews updated?
We aim to update reviews quarterly or when major events occur (hard forks, security incidents, major partnerships, regulatory changes). The "Updated" date on each review shows when it was last reviewed. Ratings may change as projects evolve.
What does "Emerging" mean in the ratings?
Coins rated "Emerging" (below 3.0) are typically newer projects, niche tokens, or coins with limited track records. A lower rating doesn't necessarily mean the project is bad — it may indicate higher risk, less proven technology, or limited adoption. These coins require more careful due diligence before investing.
