## 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](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/new/master).
|
|
|
|
Shortly after the pull request is made, a Travis CI job will be added to [our
|
|
queue](https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org). 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](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/new) 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](mailto: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](mailto:exchanges@bitcoin.org) if you have
|
|
questions or require assistance when adding an exchange.
