The OKX referral program is a structured system designed to reward users for introducing new participants to the platform. It focuses on specific actions that the referred individuals must complete, primarily centered around initial funding and trading activities. This guide breaks down the key components, rules, and benefits of the program to help you maximize your participation.
How the Referral Program Works
The core of the program involves inviting friends to deposit funds into their OKX account. The specific tasks and reward structures are subject to change and will be displayed on the official invitation page at the time of participation.
Funding Task Requirements
For a referral to be considered successful, the new user must complete a purchase or deposit of cryptocurrency within 30 days of registration. They must also claim their reward in the福利中心 (Welfare Center) and pass the Level 2 Advanced Verification. Once these steps are completed, the inviter becomes eligible for a 15 USDT commission rebate card.
The funding task can be completed in two ways:
Purchasing Cryptocurrency
The referred user must make a single purchase of cryptocurrency using fiat currency that meets a minimum amount threshold. The required amount varies based on the fiat currency used and the payment channel. Below are examples of common requirements (note: these are subject to change):
| Fiat Currency | Channel | Minimum Amount |
|---|---|---|
| CNY | All Channels | ¥200 |
| RUB, THB, IDR, VND, PHP, LAK, MMK, KHR, BND, INR, PKR, LKR, COP, VEF, MNT, NPR, MVR, BTN, BDT, MYR | All Channels | $20 |
| Other Fiat | Paxful, Xanpool, Mercuryo, Moonpay, Okcoin, Advcash, P2P | $100 |
| Other Fiat | Other Channels | $100 |
Depositing Cryptocurrency
The referred user can also deposit cryptocurrency from an external exchange or personal wallet into their OKX account. The single transfer must be worth at least $100. It's important to note that internal transfers, red packets, activity rewards, or assets obtained through fiat purchases do not qualify as a deposit for this task.
Understanding the Commission Rebate Card
The 15 USDT commission rebate card is used to offset trading fees. It becomes active immediately upon receipt. The day after you incur trading fees, the card's value will be deducted, and the equivalent amount in USDT will be refunded to your funding account. This process continues until the card's value is depleted.

Becoming an OKX Node
After you have successfully referred five valid users, you have the option to upgrade your status to an OKX Node. This is a significant decision, as it changes your reward structure.
- Valid User Definition: A referred user is considered "valid" once they either complete the funding task OR their cumulative trading volume reaches 5,000 USDT.
- Node Benefits: As a node, you will no longer receive the standard invitation rewards. Instead, you will earn a commission based on the trading fees generated by the users you have referred.
Reward Distribution Timeline
Invitation rewards are typically distributed the day after the referred user completes their task. You can expect to see the reward in your account by 18:00 Hong Kong Time (HKT). To check your rewards, navigate to "Assets - Funding History" within the platform.
Important Program Policies
To ensure a fair environment for all users, OKX enforces several key policies for its referral program:
- Sub-Accounts: Sub-accounts are not permitted to participate in the referral program or receive any associated rewards.
- Anti-Cheating Measures: OKX rigorously monitors all invitation activities. Any account or device suspected of fraudulent or cheating behavior will be subject to risk control measures, which may include the disqualification from earning rewards. In cases of severe violations, account freezing may occur.
- Changes to the Program: OKX retains the ultimate right to modify the program's format, rules, and rewards at its discretion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a valid deposit for the referral task?
A valid deposit is a transfer of cryptocurrency from an external wallet or another exchange into the referred user's OKX account. The single transaction must have a value of $100 or more. Internal moves of funds or receiving crypto from rewards do not qualify.
How long does the referred user have to complete the task?
The new user must complete the qualifying purchase or deposit within 30 days of registering their OKX account to trigger the reward for the inviter.
Can I track the progress of my referrals?
Yes, you can monitor the status of your invitations and view distributed rewards through your account's "Assets - Funding History" section, where all financial movements are logged.
What happens if I become an OKX Node?
Upgrading to a node means you stop earning the one-time invitation rewards. Your earnings will then be based on a continuous share of the trading fees from your referred users' future activity, which can be more profitable if they are active traders.
What is the best way to ensure my rewards are not disqualified?
The best practice is to invite users genuinely interested in using the OKX platform. Avoid any artificial or inauthentic referral methods, as these are easily detected by the platform's monitoring systems and will result in disqualification.

Are there any geographic restrictions on who I can refer?
The program is generally global, but you must always ensure that both you and your referred friend are in a region where OKX services are available and that all local regulations are followed.
