How ChainGain Earns Revenue
ChainGain is a free resource. We do not charge our readers for access to any of our reviews, guides, or educational content. To sustain our operations and continue producing high-quality, independent research, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.
This means that some of the links on our website are affiliate links. When you click on these links and subsequently register for an account, make a deposit, or complete a qualifying action on a partner platform, ChainGain may receive a commission from that partner at no additional cost to you.
Full Disclosure Statement
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose the following:
- ChainGain, operated by Apex Digital Media LLC, has financial relationships with some of the companies and platforms featured on this website.
- We may receive compensation when users click affiliate links and complete qualifying actions on partner platforms.
- This compensation may influence which products and services we choose to review or feature, but it does not influence our assessments, ratings, or editorial opinions.
- All opinions expressed on this website are our own and are based on independent research and first-hand experience.
Our Affiliate Partners
In the interest of full transparency, the following platforms are our current or planned affiliate partners. We only partner with platforms that meet our editorial standards after independent evaluation:
| Platform | Type | Commission Model | Review Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Margex | Centralized Exchange (CEX) | Revenue Share | Planned |
| BloFin | Centralized Exchange (CEX) | Revenue Share | Planned |
| dYdX | Decentralized Exchange (DEX) | Revenue Share | Planned |
This table is updated as partnerships are established or discontinued. Commission rates vary by platform and program terms, typically structured as a percentage of trading fees generated by referred users.
Current Content Status
As of March 2026, all published articles on ChainGain are purely educational and do not contain affiliate links. Our foundational guides on cryptocurrency basics, blockchain technology, crypto wallets, and stablecoins are written solely for informational purposes.
When we begin publishing exchange reviews and comparison articles, those pages will clearly identify affiliate links using visual markers (such as labeled buttons or disclosure notices within the content).
What This Means for You
- No extra cost: You will never pay more for using an affiliate link compared to visiting the partner site directly. In some cases, affiliate links may provide access to exclusive offers or bonuses not available through other channels.
- Your choice: You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can navigate directly to any platform we mention by typing the URL into your browser.
- Our integrity: We review and recommend platforms based on their merits. If a platform has significant drawbacks, we will report them regardless of any affiliate relationship. We have declined affiliate partnerships with platforms that did not meet our editorial standards.
How We Identify Affiliate Links
Pages containing affiliate links will include:
- A disclosure notice near the top of the article
- Affiliate links clearly labeled with visual markers (e.g., “Partner Link” or a distinct button style)
- A reminder linking back to this disclosure page
Editorial Independence
Our editorial process is separate from our commercial partnerships. Content decisions — including what to review, how to rate a platform, and what to recommend — are made independently by our editorial team. No partner has the ability to review, approve, or modify our content before publication.
For a detailed explanation of how we research and produce content, please read our Editorial Policy.
