About Speccue
A reference site that sets published exchange facts side by side. No scores, no rankings, no "best of". This page explains how it operates.
What this site does
Speccue answers one kind of question: what is different between these platforms. Fee structures, custody models, withdrawal costs, order types, security features — put what each one publishes side by side, mark it with the month we checked and a link to the source, then explain what the differences mean for different kinds of user.
It does not answer "which one is best". That question needs a neutral position we do not have, for reasons set out on the disclosure page.
What is out of scope is also worth stating: no price predictions, no trading strategies, no token recommendations, no yield tracking.
Why a collective byline
Every page is signed by the Speccue Reference Desk. That is a collective name, not a specific person.
We do not construct an individual reviewer identity, invent years of experience, publish photographs of people who do not exist, or claim any licence or institutional background.
The reasoning is direct: the work here is reading primary sources and setting them side by side, and that does not need a named authority to vouch for it. It should be judged on whether the citations hold up — every figure has a source link you can open and check, which is more reliable than any biography.
Put the other way: a finance reference that shows you a headshot and a line about ten years of experience, while none of its conclusions carry a clickable source, is using the biography as a substitute for verification rather than a support for it.
How pages are produced
- Define the question. What this page can settle, and what it cannot — the second half goes into the text.
- Go to primary sources. Open each platform's own fee page, terms page and disclosure page, copy the figures and the wording, and record the month.
- Capture evidence. Screenshot key data pages, public pages only with no account information, captions dated.
- Write differences, not rankings. Explain the structural distinctions and who they matter to.
- Mark the boundary. Every page states that its figures are snapshots, that they expire, and where the current value lives.
AI tools were used in drafting and organising this material. Fact-checking, source verification and final judgement are done by people. We say so because pretending otherwise in 2026 is pointless, while pretending that using tools removes the need to check would be a different problem entirely.
Why every figure has a date
Exchange fee tables, limits and available regions change faster than reference sites get revised. An undated figure will be read as current, and it very likely is not.
So the house rule is: if we cannot verify a current value, we do not publish a number — we publish the structure and the method. The withdrawal fees page is written that way and contains no fee table at all, because those figures move by the day.
If a number here disagrees with a platform's current page, the platform is right and we are stale. That is a normal outcome, not an incident.
What we do not do
- No scores, stars, rankings or editor's picks.
- No claims of independent testing. We have not run cross-platform trials and will not write as though we had.
- No verdicts on which platform is safer or more compliant. We describe what each publishes and where to verify it.
- No sponsored content and no purchasable table positions.
- No affiliate links for wallets, hardware or any other category.
- No invented user counts, statistics, or minute-precise "tested at" timestamps.
Commercial relationship status
The account-opening guide contains one link per language with an existing referral code, but the site record does not contain a registered commercial arrangement. Its verification status is on the disclosure page.
