Adding Exchanges

Exchanges seeking to be added to Bitcoin.org should add themselves to the respective area(s) they serve in exchanges.html in the _templates directory, via pull request.

Shortly after the pull request is made, a Travis CI job will be added to our queue. This will build the site and run some basic checks. If the job fails, you will be emailed a link to the build log and the pull request will indicate a failed job. Please read the build report and try to correct the problem.

If you're not comfortable with GitHub pull requests, please open a new issue requesting to be added.

Review Criteria

Exchanges are reviewed before potentially being added to the site, focusing on the following areas:

• Site functionality
• Operational processes
• Rates and fees
• Order book
• Policies, terms and conditions
• Press and community feedback
• Leadership

Once added, exchanges are also re-reviewed at regular intervals in order to maintain quality assurance in-line with the above, and may be removed should severe and/or unresolved issues be encountered.

Review Fee

In an effort to help provide funding towards the operation of Bitcoin.org, and to remain ad-free and without reliance on corporate sponsorships, an annual non-refundable review fee of $2500 USD, payable in bitcoin, is requested of exchanges seeking to be added to the site. Payment of this fee does not guarantee inclusion, nor does it prevent removal should problems arise post-inclusion.

Exchanges should email exchanges@bitcoin.org in order to make payment arrangements.

Fee Waiver

Exchanges may request review fees to be waived if an independent third party review has been procured in the past 90 days that satisfactorily addresses the Review Criteria mentioned above.

Questions

Please contact the Exchange team if you have questions or require assistance when adding an exchange.
