About Uzuras Crypto Reference

Uzuras Crypto Reference exists to answer basic, concrete questions about cryptocurrency without hype: what a token actually is, how a wallet differs from an account at an exchange, what a recovery phrase does, and which U.S. agencies handle which parts of the crypto world.

It's written for people who keep running into crypto terminology — in the news, in a tax form question, in a family conversation — and want a straight explanation grounded in primary sources. Wherever a page makes a specific claim, it links the original document: the token standard itself, government technical references, official wallet documentation, and regulator websites. Where a claim can't be pinned to a source like that, we describe it in general terms instead of inventing precision.

An honest note about what this site is and isn't. The pages here are reviewed reference material — background reading, vocabulary, and mechanics. They are not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice, and nothing here should be used to decide whether to buy, sell, or hold anything. For decisions involving your money or your tax return, talk to a licensed professional. The regulator pages we link throughout — including Investor.gov and the CFTC's digital-asset resources — are good starting points for finding official guidance.

This site is an independent reference site. It is maintained with automated tooling and periodic human review, not a full-time editorial staff. If something here looks wrong or out of date, write to hello@uzuras.net and it will be corrected.
