Sources and methodology

The buying routes in this guide come only from verified market-pair rows in our database. We use web research and news from sources like CoinMarketCap for background and risk context. Information from CoinMarketCap page scrapes is treated as low-confidence context and is not used as proof of fees, liquidity, or contract safety. Live market values, such as price and volume, are omitted because they change too frequently to remain accurate in a static guide.
