Defimap

Research method

Methodology

Defimap compares crypto cards through the details that usually decide whether a card is useful in real life. The goal is not to crown a universal winner. The goal is to make tradeoffs easier to see.

What we compare

Core fields include cashback or rewards, KYC, supported regions, FX fee, monthly fee, card network, delivery, wallet model, funding methods, supported currencies and ATM or withdrawal terms.

How we handle unknowns

If a provider does not clearly publish a term, Defimap uses Not available rather than guessing. This keeps pages less flashy, but more honest.

Why there are no ratings

Defimap does not show public ratings or rating structured data until a real methodology exists. Current pages focus on facts, caveats and fit for different use cases.
