What we verify before a review ships

Which fact classes does ChainCosts require before publishing an exchange review is best answered from official fee tables and product pages, not marketing screenshots. This guide freezes source-linked strings checked on 2026-07-25 and refuses invented digits. Treat verified as a research checklist, not a slogan. On the current snapshot, line 1 publishes 0.1000%; line 2 publishes Yes — monthly zk-STARK Proof of Reserves, 1:1 reserve; 44th report (Jun 2026) $22.65B in primary assets; line 3 publishes FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, US Treasury) is the federal AML regulator; its guidance classifies virtual-currency exchangers as money transmitters, alongside state money-transmitter regulators.; line 4 publishes Free plan: $0 free forever, 10,000 transactions, unlimited wallets/exchanges, portfolio tracking + capital gains preview; paid plan required only to download tax reports. Entry-tier schedules change with VIP volume, token discounts, and campaign windows, so the baseline line is the only fair starting point across venues. Withdrawal schedules, local funding rails, and futures maker or taker rows sit outside a single spot percentage and must be reopened on the live schedule. ChainCosts reviews link each figure back to the provider page. Editorial pages restate those figures for readers researching verified and carry no partner buttons. If a provider does not publish a number for your market, we leave the cell empty rather than invent one. Re-check the official URL before you act.
