How NetNapz orders exchanges
We consider liquidity and market depth, external trust/ranking signals, operating history, custody/security transparency, fiat access, market breadth, usability and jurisdictional availability. We do not rank obscure venues above established exchanges simply because they list more tokens or offer higher leverage.
