KuCoin fee optimisation.
Top-tier affiliates can route 60% rebate to referees. KCS hold compounds with VIP for sub-0.04% maker fees.
Three steps to claim the best rebate.
- 01
Pick the right referral code
On KuCoin, the standard public link gives 20%. Premium codes negotiated with top-tier affiliates push the referee rebate up to 60%. The difference is permanent on every trade.
- 02
Maximise the VIP fee tier
VIP 1 unlocks at $500K of thirty-day volume. Each step shaves the maker/taker fee — cumulable with the referral rebate.
- 03
Stack the token-hold discount
Holding the native token (BNB, KCS, GT, BGB, MX, OKB) typically adds an extra –25% to maker/taker fees. Cumulable with steps one and two on most crypto exchanges.
