Cryptophia Research publishes evidence-led analysis of crypto wallets, exchanges, tools, market structure and risk. This page explains how we choose sources, separate facts from judgment, evaluate products and correct material errors.
Primary evidence comes first
We prioritize regulator notices, court filings, protocol documentation, public repositories, vendor specifications, official fee schedules and direct datasets. Secondary reporting is used for context, discovery and cross-checking—not as a substitute for the underlying evidence when it is available.
Claims must match the evidence
A documentation-led review is identified as research-led. We do not describe a product as personally tested unless that testing actually occurred. Vendor claims, third-party findings and our own judgment are kept distinct wherever the difference could affect the reader’s conclusion.
We start with failure modes
Products and platforms are evaluated by the problem they solve, the risks they reduce and the new dependencies they introduce. A hardware wallet, exchange or analytics platform is not ranked by feature count alone. We ask what can fail, who controls the critical dependency and what recovery path remains when it does.
Prices, plans and availability can change
Fees, product specifications, supported jurisdictions and subscription plans are checked against current official sources before publication when they are material to the conclusion. Because these details can change after publication, readers should verify the current product or service page before committing money or transferring assets.
Affiliate relationships do not determine conclusions
Some pages may contain affiliate links. Affiliate eligibility does not determine whether a product is included, excluded, ranked first or criticized. Read the Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
Market analysis separates observation from thesis
Market and on-chain articles distinguish the observed data, the assumptions used to interpret it and the conclusion drawn from it. A chart or metric is not treated as a trading signal by itself. Definitions, venue coverage, entity labels, time windows and revision risk are considered before a metric is used as evidence.
Corrections and updates
Material factual errors are corrected rather than preserved for appearance. Where a correction changes the meaning of an article, the change is made transparent. Evergreen guides are updated when the underlying product, service, regulation or evidence changes enough to affect the reader’s decision.
What this process does not promise
No research process can eliminate uncertainty, guarantee security or predict returns. Cryptophia Research provides educational analysis, not individualized financial, legal, tax or security advice. Read the Legal Disclaimer for the full limitation of responsibility.
