The OKX Affiliate Node Program is a structured initiative designed to reward users for expanding the platform's community. By inviting or reactivating other users, participants, known as Nodes, can earn commissions based on their referrals' trading activities. This program operates on a multi-tier system, allowing for potential growth in earning opportunities through a network of sub-nodes.
This guide provides a clear overview of how the program functions, focusing on common questions about commissions, referral processes, and program rules. Whether you are a new Node or looking to optimize your existing efforts, understanding these key aspects will help you navigate the program effectively.
Commission and Rebate Details
How to Check Rebate Details
As a Node, you can review your rebate specifics directly on the official website. Navigate to More > Node Program, and access either the Overview or Rebate Records section. Here, you can verify several key data points:
- Eligible Rebate Volume: This refers to the trading volume that qualifies for commissions. Note that not all transactions generate rebates. For example, trades involving fee-free tokens, or those using rebate cards, experience funds, or contract experience coupons to offset fees, will not contribute to eligible volume.
- Historical Transaction Records: The system provides a detailed history of each transaction. You can search using the trader's UID and filter trades based on whether they generated a commission.
- Explanations for Non-Commission Trades: For transactions that do not yield a commission, a reason is provided to help you identify the cause.
- Commission Breakdown: A detailed calculation is available, showing how commissions are computed, including any deductions from promotions or rewards that offset trading fees.
How to Confirm Your Rebate Ratio
Your assigned rebate ratio is visible on your Node page. From there, you have the option to reassign a portion of this rebate to your invited users or sub-nodes, tailoring the distribution to your strategy.
When Are Rebates Distributed?
Rebates are typically distributed within 1 to 2 hours after a referred user completes a trade, with payouts occurring hourly. However, during periods of extreme market volatility, significant computational demands may cause delays of several hours.
How Invited Users Can Check Their Rebate Ratio
Users who have been invited by a Node can check their personal cashback ratio by navigating to My Rewards > My Benefits. If this section is not visible, it indicates that no cashback ratio is currently applied to their account.
Inviting and Reactivating Users
After inviting a new user or reactivating an existing one, it is recommended to wait approximately 3 hours before checking for success. This allows the system data to update fully, ensuring the most accurate results.
Why Might an Invitee Show as "Invalid"?
An invited user may display an "Invalid" status for two primary reasons:
- The user was reactivated through a different channel, severing the original Node's link.
- The rebate relationship between the Node and the user was deemed invalid. Clicking on the "Invalid" status will often provide a specific reason for this.
Who is Eligible for Reactivation?
Users who have not made a deposit, executed a trade, or logged into their account for over 180 days are eligible to be reactivated by a Node.
How to Verify Registration or Reactivation
Nodes can view all relevant registration and reactivation information directly on their Node dashboard, eliminating the need for external verification.
Common Reasons for Failed Binding
Several issues can prevent a successful bind between an invitee and a Node:
- The invitee entered an incorrect invitation code during registration.
- The registration was completed through a paid advertising channel.
- The invitee downloaded the app directly after opening the invite link without finishing registration, which carries a small chance of binding failure.
- An attempt was made to reactivate a user who did not meet the eligibility criteria.
Can You Check if a User is Eligible for Reactivation?
No, Nodes cannot query whether a specific user meets the reactivation criteria.
Can a Failed Registration/Reactivation Be Rebound?
If an invitee fails to register or be reactivated successfully, it is not possible to reattempt the binding process.
Can an Invitee's Registration Channel Be Changed?
No. Once an invitee is assigned to a specific channel, their channel affiliation cannot be altered.
Can an Account Be Deleted and Reregistered Under a Different Node?
This is not permitted. Users cannot change their channel affiliation by deleting and recreating their accounts.
Can a Pre-filled Invitation Code Be Edited During Registration?
No. If a invitation code is pre-filled on the registration page, it indicates a paid channel (e.g., Node, referral, paid ad). To ensure fair competition among channels, these codes cannot be edited.
Multi-Level Rebate System
Which Invitees Cannot Become Sub-Nodes?
Not all invited users can be upgraded to sub-nodes. Restrictions apply if:
- The superior Node has reached its hierarchical limit (contact a business manager for assistance).
- The invitee has not completed identity verification.
- The invitee is from a country or region where the Node program is not promoted.
- Other compliance issues prevent the upgrade.
Can a Sub-Node Have a Higher Rebate Ratio Than Its Superior Node?
No, a sub-node's rebate ratio cannot exceed that of its immediate superior Node.
