How to find the KuCoin UID for rewards? (User Identification)

Finding Your KuCoin UID Through the Web Interface

1. Log in to your KuCoin account using a desktop browser and navigate to the official kucoin.com domain.

2. Click on your profile icon located in the top-right corner of the dashboard.

3. Select Account Settings from the dropdown menu.

4. Scroll down to the Security Center section and locate the subsection labeled User Information.

5. Your KuCoin UID appears as a 10-digit numeric string directly beneath your registered email address.

Locating the UID Inside the KuCoin Mobile Application

1. Open the KuCoin app on iOS or Android and ensure you are logged into the correct account.

2. Tap the Profile tab at the bottom navigation bar.

3. Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to access settings.

4. Choose Account & Security, then scroll to find User ID listed under basic identity details.

5. The UID is displayed without any prefix, dashes, or letters—only digits.

Using UID for Referral and Reward Programs

1. KuCoin referral links embed your UID automatically when generated via the Invite Friends page.

2. When sharing manually, append ?rcode=YOUR_UID to the base URL kucoin.com.

3. Rewards credited to your account—such as trading fee rebates or bonus tokens—are tied exclusively to this UID.

4. Third-party airdrop campaigns often request this UID to verify eligibility and distribute assets to the correct wallet address.

5. Duplicate UIDs do not exist; each registered user receives a unique identifier upon account creation.

Security Considerations When Handling Your UID

1. Your KuCoin UID is not sensitive like API keys or private keys, but it should still be treated with discretion.

2. Do not share your UID alongside personal identifiers such as full name, phone number, or email in public forums.

3. Scammers may impersonate KuCoin support and ask for your UID to “verify rewards”—KuCoin staff will never request this over unsolicited messages.

4. If you suspect misuse, check your referral analytics dashboard to confirm whether unexpected referrals have been attributed to your UID.

5. Changing your email or password does not alter your UID—it remains permanently bound to your initial registration record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I change my KuCoin UID after account creation?A: No. The UID is assigned at registration and cannot be modified, reset, or reassigned.

Q: Is the UID the same as my wallet address?A: No. A wallet address is blockchain-specific and varies per asset; the UID is an internal platform identifier used only within KuCoin’s systems.

Q: Why does my referral link show a different code instead of my UID?A: KuCoin sometimes uses encoded referral codes that map internally to your UID. These codes are functionally equivalent for reward attribution.

Q: Does deleting my KuCoin account release my UID for reuse?A: No. Deleted accounts retain their UID in KuCoin’s database, and the number is never recycled or reassigned to another user.
