Affiliate Disclosure
Our Commitment to Transparency
ETHpublic is committed to providing honest, helpful information about Ethereum. To support the operation of this site and continue creating free educational content, we participate in affiliate programs.
This page explains how these relationships work and how they may affect the content you see on our site.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on ETHpublic.com are "affiliate links." This means if you click on a link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission from that company at no additional cost to you.
For example: If we recommend a hardware wallet and you purchase it through our link, we might earn a small percentage of that sale. You pay the same price either way—the commission comes from the company, not from you.
Our Promise to You
We only recommend products, services, and resources we genuinely believe will help you safely navigate and use Ethereum. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions.
- Recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission
- Hide or downplay negative aspects of products we promote
- Accept payment to feature or promote products we don't believe in
- Mislead you about affiliate relationships or how they work
Our reputation and your trust matter more than any commission. If we recommend something, it's because we believe it's genuinely valuable for Ethereum newcomers—not because we get paid for it.
Current Affiliate Relationships
As of December 2024, we participate in or are applying to the following affiliate programs:
- Ledger - Hardware wallet manufacturer (security products)
- Cryptocurrency Exchanges - Platforms for buying ETH (may be added)
- Other Ethereum-related products and services as we identify valuable tools for beginners
This list may change over time as we discover new products worth recommending or end relationships that no longer serve our audience.
How We Evaluate Products
Before recommending any product or service, we consider:
- Beginner-friendliness: Is it accessible to someone new to Ethereum?
- Security: Does it follow best practices and protect users?
- Reputation: Is the company trustworthy with a solid track record?
- Value: Does it genuinely solve a problem or fill a need?
- Alternatives: Are there better options available?
We test products when possible and research extensively before making recommendations. Our goal is to save you time and help you avoid poor choices, not to maximize commissions.
Your Choice Matters
Using our affiliate links is completely optional. If you prefer to find products on your own or go directly to a company's website, that's perfectly fine. We'll still be here with free educational content either way.
If you do choose to use our links, know that you're supporting our ability to create more guides, maintain our live dashboard, and keep this resource free for everyone. We genuinely appreciate it.
FTC Compliance
ETHpublic.com complies with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising.
We clearly disclose affiliate relationships where appropriate, and our recommendations reflect our honest opinions based on research and, when possible, firsthand experience.

Your trust is everything to us. We take our responsibility to provide honest, helpful information seriously. If you ever feel we've fallen short of that commitment, please let us know.
