Recent paid sponsorships

Every sponsorship we've sold, public ledger. Transparency about what's paid placement and what isn't is the whole point.

Editorial firewall

Sponsorship moves a listing up the page and adds a chip. It does not change the review, the grade, or the KYC tagging. If a sponsored provider's posture deteriorates, the grade drops and the chips change accordingly. We refund unused term pro-rata if you want out.

No double-dip on affiliate. Sponsored entries link DIRECT to the provider — not through our /go/<slug> referral. Non-sponsored entries route through /go/ as usual.

Audit deposit (Headline + Front-Page)

Headline and Front-Page applicants without a current xmr.club grade of B or higher fund a refundable 0.1 XMR audit deposit alongside the sponsorship payment. The deposit covers live testing — signup, deposit, distribution, support response, fee-vs-quote reconciliation. Real testing carries unpredictable conditions (slippage, hidden spreads, withdrawal markups, unexpected KYC blocks) that can cause fund loss to the curator. The deposit makes that risk predictable for everyone instead of quietly absorbing it.

Applicants already listed at A or B on /methodology skip the deposit — the most recent end-to-end test stands in. Featured and Category tiers do not require a deposit; placement at those tiers only adds a chip and does not signal a recommendation.
