About Cards On Chain
Cards On Chain is the independent authority on crypto-linked payment cards. We research, test, and compare every crypto debit and credit card so you can spend your digital assets with confidence.
Our Values
Independence
We never let affiliate relationships influence our ratings. Every review follows the same methodology.
Data-Driven
Our ratings are based on measurable criteria: fees, rewards, availability, security, and user experience.
Transparency
We disclose exactly how we make money. If a link is an affiliate link, we tell you.
User-First
We build tools — like our comparison engine — to help you make the best decision, not the most profitable one for us.
How We Make Money
Cards On Chain earns revenue through affiliate commissions when you sign up for a card through our links. This never affects our editorial ratings or recommendations. We also earn from display advertising. We do not accept payment for positive reviews.

We re-evaluate cards quarterly and update ratings when providers change their terms.
