Affiliate disclosure

The short version

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up or buy, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the lights on while not running ads or selling your data.

Programs we participate in

• OKX Affiliate — UAE-licensed exchange (VARA)
• Binance Affiliate — UAE-licensed exchange (Binance FZE / VARA)
• BitOasis Invite & Earn — UAE-licensed exchange (VARA)
• Trezor Partners — hardware wallet
• Ledger Affiliate — hardware wallet
• BitBox / Shift Crypto Affiliate — hardware wallet
• Amazon UAE Associates — books and reference materials

Products we recommend without earning anything

Some products on this site are featured even though we earn no commission from them. We include them because they're genuinely the right answer for some readers, and we think transparency matters more than monetization purity.

• Coldcard / Coinkite — Coinkite has no affiliate or referral program by design. Our link to coldcard.com is direct, no UTM tag, no commission. We feature it because it's the most security-focused Bitcoin-only signing device available.

How this affects what we recommend

We only feature products we'd use ourselves. Affiliate revenue does not influence ranking — we sort by what we genuinely believe is best for UAE Bitcoiners, not by what pays the most.

When we have direct experience with a product (we use it ourselves), we'll say so. When we don't, we say that too.

How outbound links are tagged

Every affiliate link on this site is tagged with rel="sponsored" per Google's web standards, and includes UTM parameters so we can see which content actually helps people. We don't track you across the web — analytics are first-party only.
