How to claim KuCoin referral bonus? (Invite friends)

Accessing the Referral Dashboard

1. Log in to your KuCoin account via the official website or mobile application.

2. Navigate to the “Earn” section located in the main navigation bar.

3. Select “Referral Program” from the dropdown menu to enter the dedicated referral dashboard.

4. Verify your identity if prompted—KYC Level 1 is mandatory to unlock referral functionality.

5. Confirm your referral link and unique referral code are displayed and active.

Sharing Your Invitation

1. Click the “Copy Link” button to duplicate your personalized referral URL to clipboard.

2. Alternatively, tap “Generate QR Code” to create a scannable invitation image for offline sharing.

3. Paste the link into private messages, group chats, or social media posts without violating platform policies.

4. Avoid using automated bots or mass-spam tools—KuCoin monitors for abnormal traffic patterns.

5. Ensure each shared link contains your valid referral code; manually altered or truncated links will not register.

Eligibility Requirements for Rewards

1. The invitee must be a new user with no prior KuCoin registration history tied to that email or phone number.

2. The invitee must complete identity verification (KYC Level 1) within 72 hours of registration.

3. The invitee must trade at least 0.001 BTC equivalent in volume across spot or futures markets within 30 days.

4. Both parties must maintain accounts in good standing—no suspended, restricted, or flagged status.

5. Referral rewards are calculated based on the invitee’s net trading fee revenue generated for KuCoin over 90 days.

Tracking and Receiving Commissions

1. Real-time tracking appears under “My Referrals” showing status: Pending, Active, or Settled.

2. Commission accrual begins only after the invitee meets all eligibility thresholds.

3. Payouts occur every Monday at 00:00 UTC and are credited directly to your KuCoin main account balance.

4. Each commission is denominated in USDT and reflects 20% of the invitee’s applicable trading fees.

5. Historical payout records remain visible for 180 days under “Transaction History” with filter set to “Referral Bonus”.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I refer users who previously registered but never completed KYC?A: No. KuCoin defines “new user” strictly as someone with zero registration history—previously created but unverified accounts do not qualify.

Q: Does the referral bonus apply to margin or leveraged token trading fees?A: Yes. All fee-bearing activities—including margin interest, futures funding payments, and leveraged token management fees—are included in the 20% commission calculation.

Q: What happens if my invited friend deletes their account after meeting requirements?A: Commissions already settled before deletion remain valid and non-reversible. Unsettled commissions tied to deleted accounts are forfeited permanently.

Q: Is there a cap on total referral earnings per month?A: KuCoin does not impose a monthly ceiling—earnings scale linearly with the trading activity of all qualified referrals under your account.
