Binance Launches Sub-Affiliate Program to Enhance Commission Sharing
Binance has introduced a new Sub-Affiliate feature designed to empower its existing Affiliates by allowing them to share a portion of their commission earnings with invited team members. This program enables a tiered network structure, where Sub-Affiliates can, in turn, recruit their own Sub-Affiliates, creating a chain of up to seven levels.
Tiered Team Structure and Invitation Limits
Under the new system, Affiliates can build a team structure that extends across seven levels, facilitating commission sharing throughout the network. Each primary Affiliate, or “Top Affiliate,” is permitted to invite a maximum of 50 Sub-Affiliates directly.
Commission Allocation and Payouts
The program allows for commission sharing at every level. Each tier within the Sub-Affiliate network can set the commission rate for its direct recruits, provided these rates adhere to the overarching commission rules. A key requirement for inviting a new Sub-Affiliate is that the inviting Affiliate must allocate a minimum of 20% of their Spot and Futures commission rates to the new recruit, while retaining at least 5% for themselves.
Crucially, the total commission payout to the entire team will never exceed the Top Affiliate’s original commission rate. The program emphasizes that joining is free, and commissions are generated from genuine trading activity on the Binance platform, not solely from referrals. The invitation of additional Sub-Affiliates is entirely optional. Binance ensures that each participant receives their commission directly from the platform, and the total distributed commission to any team will not surpass the Top Affiliate’s established rate.
Detailed Commission Sharing Rules
When an Affiliate invites a Sub-Affiliate, specific rules govern the commission allocation. The inviting Affiliate must allocate at least 20% of their Spot commission rate and at least 20% of their Futures commission rate to the new Sub-Affiliate. Furthermore, each participant, including the inviting Affiliate and the new Sub-Affiliate, must retain a minimum of 5% of the overall commission rate for themselves, not just 5% of their individually allocated share.
These minimum retention requirements are applied at every level of the Sub-Affiliate network. It is important to note that this 5% minimum is applicable at the time of setup. It does not guarantee that an Affiliate or Sub-Affiliate will continue to receive at least 5% if the total commission rate is subsequently adjusted, for instance, due to a downgrade in the Affiliate’s evaluation. In such scenarios, any reduction in commission is first applied to the Affiliate’s retained share, which could potentially fall below 5% or even to 0% before affecting the allocated rates of the next level.
Eligibility for Sub-Affiliate Status
Eligible Binance users can become a Sub-Affiliate by accepting an invitation from an existing Affiliate. To qualify, users must meet the following criteria:
- Complete and pass identity verification (KYC).
- Possess an activated Binance Futures Account.
- Not currently be an Affiliate and must not have been an Affiliate in the past.
- Not be a Sub-Affiliate under another Affiliate.
- Not be a Co-Inviter.
