Pick a cryptoprop firm. Withthe receipts.
Spot, perpetual, and CFD firms compared side-by-side. Payouts verified on-chain. Scam watch updated continuously. No forex fluff, no affiliate-first listicles.
By execution type.
Most aggregators lump every firm together. We separate real-exchange execution (your trade hits a real orderbook) from CFD synthetic pricing (your trade hits your broker's book). They are not the same product.

We verify payouts
Every payout in our leaderboard links to an on-chain transaction or a verified firm-dashboard screenshot. Nothing is hearsay.
We track rule changes
When a firm quietly adjusts its drawdown rules or consistency policy, it lands in our scam watch with a diff.
We stamp every page
Every firm page shows its last-verified-on timestamp. If our data is more than 30 days stale, we flag it — not hide it.
We earn affiliate commission when readers sign up through our links. It never influences our editorial ratings — and we publish our methodology openly.
