The story
basetfi.com began as a single README file on GitHub: a personal list of open source crypto tools that Danilo kept for friends who asked where to start. The list grew, the questions grew with it, and the list became this site.
We maintain an editorial index of open source crypto software and the blockchains it runs on. Every project on the roll gets the same treatment: we read the repository, check the licence, confirm the official website, and note whether development is still active. Projects that pass get a verification seal; projects that stall keep their listing but lose the seal.
The index exists for one reader above all: the beginner who wants to start with the right open source projects and the real, official websites — like the genuine Binance domain rather than a lookalike — instead of learning the difference the hard way.
The repository must be public, the licence a recognised open source one, and the codebase real — not an empty shell around a marketing page.
We check that the website we link is the project's official domain, and we revisit links when maintainers announce a move.
Commits, releases and issue activity tell us whether a project is alive. Dormant projects are labelled as such, not quietly deleted.
basetfi.com is maintained by Danilo Salvioni in Bergamo, with corrections and submissions from readers. It is a personal project, not a company, and it is aimed at developers, students and curious readers rather than at private banking clients or institutions.
Reader recognition is the only reward system here: maintainers whose projects get listed receive a seal and a mention in the changelog. Recognition has no cash value, cannot be transferred, and is never for sale.
