Your money is only as safe as the evidence. We read the regulators' registers, the court filings and the reserve reports, then publish what we found, with every source linked. No sponsors. No affiliate links. No exchange has paid us, or been asked to.
- Every claim has a source
- Missing proof is shown, not hidden
- No exchange can pay to change a score
Rigor Report · Edition 0
10 exchanges. One standard.
The score shows what the evidence supports. The Evidence column shows how much of the score we could verify. A high score on thin evidence is not a safe exchange, it is an unfinished audit.

Why this exists
Certainty is rare. Evidence is not.
Regulated or not?We check the official MiCA register and regulator lists, not the exchange's own claim.
Can they prove your funds exist?Proof of reserves, who checked it, whether liabilities were counted, how recent.
What went wrong before?Hacks and regulator actions of the last five years, with the outcome for customers.
What will it cost you?Published base fees, with the page we read them from.
