Why Curio
A small, trusted audience beats a big, indifferent one
A qualified, buying-intent audience
Curio readers arrive researching exchanges, wallets, and NFTs, people actively choosing where to put money and attention, not passive scrollers.
Independent, so placement means something
We do not sell our rankings. Because readers trust the edit, a labelled placement next to it carries real weight, the opposite of a link farm.
Context that fits your product
Crypto and Web3 brands reach an audience that already understands wallets, custody, and on-chain basics, no need to explain what a <a href="https://ethereum.org/en/wallets/find-wallet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seed phrase</a> is.
Formats
What we offer
Three ways to reach Curio readers. Mix and match, most partners pair a guest post with a display or newsletter slot.
Sponsored & guest posts
A dedicated, clearly-labelled article on a crypto topic you care about, written to our editorial standard, kept useful, never a thin advertorial.
Display advertising
Tasteful in-content and sidebar placements that respect the reading experience. No pop-ups, no auto-play, no interstitials.
Newsletter sponsorship
A sponsor slot in The Curio Brief, our weekly email to readers who opted in for signal over noise.
Our sponsored-content policy
Transparency is the product
Every paid placement is clearly labelled as sponsored, and every commercial link carries
rel="sponsored". We never sell our rankings, and we never pass off an ad as
independent editorial. That is not a limitation on what you can buy. It is the reason a
Curio placement is worth buying. Readers trust labelled content here precisely because we
protect the line. Full details live in our
our affiliate disclosure page and
editorial policy.
Packages
Simple tiers, current rates on request
Pick the shape that fits your goal. Because rates shift with demand and format, we quote current numbers in the media kit rather than post prices that go stale.

Advertising FAQs
What is your turnaround for a sponsored or guest post?
Most placements go live within one to two weeks of receiving finished, on-brief material, sooner for a simple piece, longer if it needs research or several edit rounds. We will give you a firm date once we agree on scope.
Are your links do-follow?
Sponsored and paid placements carry rel="sponsored" links, per Google's guidelines on qualifying outbound links and our own affiliate disclosure. We do not sell do-follow links that pass ranking signal, anyone who does is risking your site and ours. Editorial links we add ourselves are a separate matter.
Do I get editorial control over a sponsored post?
You approve the message and the facts about your product. We keep control of accuracy, tone, and the "not financial advice" framing that protects readers. If a claim is not true or verifiable, it does not run, that guardrail is the whole reason a Curio placement is worth buying.
Can I just pay to be ranked #1 in a roundup?
No. Our rankings and reviews are not for sale, and saying so plainly is the point, see our editorial policy. Advertising buys you a clearly-labelled placement, never a rating.
How much does it cost?
Rates depend on format, placement, and campaign length, and they change over time. Rather than post a number that goes stale, we send current pricing in our media kit. Use the form above and we will get it to you within about two business days.
Who writes the guest post, you or us?
Either works. You can send a finished draft for our editorial review, or brief us and our team writes it. Everything runs through the same fact-check and labelling either way.
