About ExchangeSafetyScore

Safety scores for crypto exchanges, built only from facts that carry a source and a date.

What it measures

Six factors: proof of reserves, hacks and losses, licences, track record, outflows over seven days and withdrawal pauses. Wallet assets and flows come from DefiLlama’s CEX transparency list, EU licences from ESMA’s MiCA register, hacks from DefiLlama’s hacks list. Licences in other regions, reserve reports, founding years and pauses are checked by hand against the regulator’s or the exchange’s own pages, and each is stored with its link and the date it was checked.

What it does not do

  • It never estimates a fact. A factor with nothing on record is left out of the score, and an exchange with fewer than four known factors is not scored.
  • It does not sell scores. Placements are labelled Ad and advertisers are scored like everyone else.
  • It is not an audit and not financial advice.
