The OKX Affiliate Program presents a significant opportunity for individuals to monetize their influence within the cryptocurrency sector. By promoting one of the world's leading crypto exchanges, affiliates can earn commissions for every user they refer to the platform. This detailed guide walks you through the step-by-step process of joining the OKX Affiliate Program and unlocking its potential for financial rewards.
What Is the OKX Affiliate Program?
OKX provides a comprehensive suite of cryptocurrency trading products, including spot trading, futures trading, options trading, and more. The platform also offers margin trading with leverage of up to 100x, making it an attractive option for experienced traders. The affiliate program features a multi-tier commission structure, meaning the more referrals you bring in, the higher your commission rate. You can earn up to 50% commission on all trading fees generated by your referrals.
In addition to competitive commission rates, the OKX Affiliate Program supplies a variety of marketing materials, such as banners, links, and landing pages. Furthermore, both you and your referrals can unlock Mystery Boxes valued at up to $10,000, win a share of up to $2,000,000 in trading competitions, and even customize campaigns for your community.
How Do I Earn Commissions as an Affiliate?
1. Get Your Affiliate Links
Your affiliate links and codes are accessible on the Affiliates Page. You can customize your affiliate code and link, or create new links while setting commission rates for yourself and your referrals. Your default referral link will serve as your primary affiliate link. Share these links with your network, including friends and family.
2. Share Your Links
Promote your affiliate links or codes within your community, through social media channels, and via other promotional avenues.
3. Participate and Trade
Your referrals must use your link or code to:
- Register on OKX and execute a trade; or
- Log back in after more than 180 days of inactivity and perform a trade.
4. Earn Commissions
You will earn a lifetime commission from every trading fee paid by your referrals. Commissions are paid hourly in USDT.
Note:
If a referral’s counterparty has a negative trading fee, the final commission will be calculated based on the actual net trading fees incurred.
Commissions are not credited for:
- Zero-fee trades
- Trades using fee discount cards (commissions will be credited as discount cards)
- Trades with special fee rates
Additionally, you cannot earn commissions from users in China if you registered outside of China.
Where Can I View Commission Metrics?
You can view deposit amounts, fee structures, and referral commissions on the Referrals Page. You also have the option to generate data reports by selecting any period from one day to one year and clicking “Create Report” to download the information.
Note:
You can create up to 30 reports per month. Each data report is available for download within 15 days of creation.
How Does OKX Evaluate Affiliate Tiers?
OKX conducts monthly evaluations of all affiliates and adjusts commission rates based on your performance tier. Affiliates are assessed according to:
- Monthly trading volume of referrals
- Number of new or total traded referrals per month
The default commission rate is 30%.
- If you meet the criteria for a higher tier, you will be upgraded to a higher commission rate the following month.
- If you fail to meet the criteria for your current tier for three consecutive months, your tier will be adjusted downward.
- You will not receive any commissions if your affiliate tier is 0.
After becoming an affiliate, you benefit from a 5-month affiliate tier protection period. During this time, your commission rate will not fall below the rate you had in your first month.
Note:
For affiliates who register on or before the 15th of the month, the protection period ends on the last day of the 5th calendar month. For those registering after the 15th, it ends on the last day of the 6th calendar month.
Example:
If you join the affiliate program on July 1, your protection period runs from July to November. If you join on July 20, it runs from July to December.

- Earn commissions on the trading fees generated by referrals. Note: If a referral uses a discount card, commissions will be credited to you and your sub-affiliates in the form of discount cards.
- Track performance data on the Affiliates Page. Note: Sub-affiliates can also track their own data on the Affiliates Page.
What Could Cause Removal from the Affiliate Program?
To ensure account security, you may be removed from the affiliate program if suspicious activities are detected, including but not limited to:
- Redirecting users to OKX from websites that mimic the official OKX website
- Using social media accounts that resemble OKX’s official social media profiles on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram
- Sending invitation emails or text messages while impersonating OKX
- Advertising OKX brand keywords such as “OKX” and “OKX Exchange” on search engines like Google, Bing, Yandex, Yahoo, and Naver
