We build every guide from the papers a borrower rarely reads in full — lender rate sheets and terms of service, IRS digital-asset guidance, SEC and CFPB publications, and bankruptcy filings from platforms that froze withdrawals. Nothing is paraphrased from a homepage.
Each rate, LTV threshold and liquidation trigger we publish carries the date we recorded it and the document it came from; when a lender changes terms, we change the guide.
