We're an independent publication dedicated to helping cryptocurrency users make informed decisions about security, custody, and investment strategy.
Ellipal Whitelist was founded in 2019 by a group of security researchers and former fintech professionals who were frustrated by the quality of crypto information online. Most content was either written by people with no technical background or produced by entities with obvious financial incentives to promote specific products.
We set out to build something different: a publication that takes security seriously, acknowledges complexity without dumbing things down, and never accepts payment to promote specific tokens, protocols, or products.
Every article we publish goes through at least one technical review from someone with relevant expertise. Security-related claims are verified against primary sources — audit reports, academic papers, official documentation — not other blogs.
We do not accept sponsored content. We do not participate in affiliate programs for the products we review. We have no financial interest in any cryptocurrency, exchange, or protocol we cover.
