About CryptoEarn Guide

The gap this site exists to close

Almost every page on the internet about crypto earning sorts platforms by advertised APY. That single field is the least informative one available, because the number is not a property of the platform — it is a property of a tier, a term, a token holding or a promotion. One large exchange advertises 12% on a stablecoin and applies it to a maximum of 500 units. Another pays its full rate on the first three thousand dollars and roughly a third of it above thirty thousand. A third quotes staking rates that explicitly exclude the commission it will take from them.

None of that is hidden. It is written down, usually on the provider’s own help pages, several clicks from the marketing. The work this site does is the unglamorous part: reading those pages in full, putting the condition next to the headline, and saying plainly when a provider does not publish something at all. The difference between an advertised rate and what a reader actually receives is the entire subject.

Who this is for

People who already hold some crypto and want to know what, if anything, it can sensibly earn. People deciding between an exchange savings product and staking the same asset. People who have read a comparison table and want to know why the numbers in it are so far apart. We assume you can handle a percentage and a caveat, and we do not assume you have read a whitepaper.

We are not writing for traders, and we are not writing for people looking for the highest number on the page. If a 20% advertised yield is what you are after, other sites will list it for you without the conditions attached. Ours is the version with the conditions.

What we cover, and what we stay out of

In scope: crypto savings accounts, staking and liquid staking, CeFi and DeFi lending, stablecoin yield, tokenised treasuries, yield farming, and reward programmes including learn-to-earn and promotional campaigns. Alongside those, the things that determine whether any of them work for you — regulation, tax treatment, country and state availability, and the failure history of the whole category. How to earn crypto is the entry point andthe platform comparison is the reference.

Deliberately out of scope: price predictions, trading signals, token picks, technical analysis, presale promotion, and anything that reads like a recommendation about your money. We will tell you that many readers holding only Bitcoin will find the honest options unappealing, because that is analysis. We will not tell you what to buy, because that is advice, and we are not qualified or permitted to give it.

How the site is funded, and what that changes

CEX.IO is a commercial partner. Every call-to-action button on this site points to CEX.IO, each one carries a nofollow attribute, and each is labelled as a partner link where it appears. CEX.IO is listed first in the platform grid, and that ordering is disclosed at the top of the page rather than in small print.

What the relationship does not change: CEX.IO is recorded against the same eleven fields as every other provider, and the things we could not verify about it are published in the same sections as everyone else’s. Those include the absence of any MiCA authorisation we could locate, the absence of a proof-of-reserves page, an unpublished fee schedule, and the fact that CEX.IO does not state where the yield on its Savings product comes from. A partner that could only be written about favourably would not be worth linking to.

The voice

We write as an editorial "we" that reads documentation and checks registers. That is the whole claim. We have not deposited funds to test these products and we do not pretend to have done; where a rate is visible only after login or only inside an app, we say so rather than sourcing it elsewhere and presenting it as the provider’s. Our working method is set out in full inour methodology.

The disclaimer, in sentences rather than a box

Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and nothing here is personalised to your circumstances. We are not regulated to give advice and we do not give it. We are not a broker, an exchange or an introducer, we hold no one’s assets, and we cannot open an account, recover funds or intervene with any platform on a reader’s behalf.

Crypto earning products are not deposits. With one exception we found — a licensed bank’s dollar balances under the Gibraltar Deposit Guarantee Scheme — none of the products described on this site are covered by a compensation scheme, and in most cases you are an unsecured creditor of a company or exposed to a smart contract. Rates are variable and are routinely changed without notice. Past performance of a platform, a protocol or an asset tells you very little about the next drawdown. What can go wrong, and how often it has, is documented incrypto earn risks.
