Disclaimer & FTC Disclosure
This page is ChainStudy's complete legal and disclosure statement. By accessing the site you've read it. If you disagree with anything, stop using the site.
1 · Site nature
ChainStudy (SelfStudy Editorial / 链上自习编辑组) is an independent third-party information site. It is not the official site of OKX, Binance, MetaMask, Phantom, or any other crypto exchange / wallet / project. ChainStudy has no equity, operational, or controlling relationship with any of them.
Content is produced by an institutionally-anonymous team called "ChainStudy Editorial" — no individual real-name byline. See about and editorial standards for how this works.
2 · Content nature — not professional advice
All content (articles, tutorials, comparisons, reviews, glossary, FAQs, hands-on data) is for informational and educational use only. It does not constitute:
- Investment / financial / trading advice
- Legal opinions
- Tax opinions
- Accounting opinions
- Endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of any specific crypto asset or project
- Predictions or guarantees of future prices, returns, or developments
Before any crypto-related decision, do your own research (DYOR), and consult qualified independent professionals where necessary.
3 · YMYL financial risk
Crypto prices swing hard and any asset can go to zero. On-chain operations are irreversible: gas isn't refundable, a bad approve can drain a wallet, a lost seed isn't recoverable. Perpetual contracts, leveraged trading, and margin products can cause 100% loss of principal, and in extreme markets can produce debt above principal. ChainStudy does not provide derivatives trading guidance; any derivatives concepts in articles are mechanism explanations, not endorsements to participate. Beginners: start with money you can afford to lose, in small amounts; segregate accounts (experimental ≠ main); operate only on regulated exchanges and audited open-source protocols.
4 · FTC affiliate disclosure
The site contains referral links to OKX (欧易) and possibly other crypto venues:
- All referral links carry
rel="sponsored noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"as static HTML - Format:
https://www.okx.com/join/OK18866(OKX exchange) andhttps://web3.okx.com/join/166888(OKX Web3 Wallet) - Signing up and trading through these links may result in OKX paying ChainStudy referral compensation, a share of platform fees. This does not increase your cost and does not change your trading terms.
- Referral revenue funds the site's ongoing operations and hands-on costs (gas, withdrawal fees, devices, editor time)
Editorial judgment is not affected by referral revenue. Our OKX coverage gives both upsides and downsides, risks, and circumstances where we wouldn't recommend it. We do not accept sponsored posts, paid reviews, or any project's editorial direction — including OKX's.
5 · Third-party links
Links to OKX signup, protocol docs, block explorers, security firm reports — when clicked, you leave our site. Each third-party site has its own privacy policy and data practices that we don't control. Verify SSL certificate, URL spelling, official Twitter pinned posts before trusting any third-party page.
6 · Jurisdiction & restricted regions
We do not serve / do not market to:
- Mainland China (regulatory restrictions on crypto services)
- United States and territories
- Any jurisdiction in OKX's / Binance's publicly published restricted-regions list
- Any jurisdiction where accessing crypto-related information or services is illegal
7 · Accuracy & timeliness
We try to keep content accurate at publishing time with traceable sources. Crypto evolves fast (protocol upgrades, wallet feature changes, fee changes, regulation). We don't guarantee everything is current at the moment you read it. Always cross-check against the source before acting.
8 · Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ChainStudy is not liable for any direct / indirect / incidental / special / consequential losses caused by using or being unable to use site content, decisions made based on site content, access to third-party services, personal mistakes / phishing / social engineering, or force majeure (network outages, regulatory shifts, protocol incidents).
9 · Modifications
We may modify this disclaimer at any time. Modified versions post here with updated effective date. Continued use signals acceptance. Significant changes are logged at corrections.
