Transparency: Why Referral Links?
TokenBot is free to use. Here's how we sustain that, and what it means for you.
The Short Version
When you sign up for an exchange through TokenBot (like Binance, Bybit, or OKX), we may receive a small commission from that exchange. This is how we keep TokenBot free for everyone.
You usually get something too—exchanges often offer signup bonuses to referred users.
Why We're Telling You This
Most companies bury affiliate relationships in legal fine print. We think that's wrong.
If we're going to include referral links, you should know about it upfront. You deserve to make informed choices about which links you click and which platforms you use.
Our policy is simple: full transparency.
How Exchange Referral Links Work
The Basics
Cryptocurrency exchanges pay commissions to bring them new users. When someone signs up through a special link and starts trading, the referrer earns a percentage of the trading fees that user pays.
These programs exist because:
Exchanges want more users
User acquisition is expensive
Referral programs are cost-effective marketing
What This Means for You
Nothing changes about your experience. You pay the same fees whether you use our link or not. Sometimes you actually pay LESS because exchanges offer discounts to referred users.
Standard fees
Same or discounted fees
No signup bonus
Often includes bonus
Exchange earns 100%

How This Supports TokenBot
Running TokenBot costs money:
Servers that monitor your trades 24/7
Engineers who build and maintain the platform
Infrastructure for security and encryption
Customer support
We could charge subscription fees. We chose not to.
Instead, exchange referral commissions help cover our costs. When you sign up through our links, you're supporting the service at no extra cost to yourself.
What We Don't Do
Let's be clear about what we will never do:
❌ Recommend exchanges we don't trust - We only partner with established, reputable exchanges
❌ Hide our relationships - You're reading this page because we believe in disclosure
❌ Pressure you to use our links - You can always sign up directly with exchanges
❌ Take higher commissions over your interests - We don't pick exchanges based on who pays us most
❌ Sell your data - We don't sell user data to anyone, ever
You Always Have a Choice
You're never required to use our referral links.
If you prefer to sign up for an exchange directly, that's completely fine. TokenBot works the same way regardless of how you created your exchange account.
We just ask that if you're going to sign up anyway, consider using our link. It helps us keep TokenBot free without costing you anything extra.
Our Exchange Partners
When you sign up through TokenBot, we may receive referral commissions from:
Binance
Bybit
OKX
KuCoin
Gate.io
Bitget
And others listed in our supported exchanges
Commission rates vary by exchange and can change. What doesn't change is our commitment to recommending only platforms we'd use ourselves.
Questions You Might Have
Does this bias which exchanges you support?
No. We support exchanges based on:
Technical quality (good API, reliable uptime)
User demand (what our users ask for)
Reputation and security track record
We support plenty of exchanges that don't have referral programs.
How much do you earn per signup?
It varies by exchange, typically a percentage of the trading fees the user pays. It's usually a fraction of a percent—meaningful at scale but not life-changing per individual user.
What if I already have an exchange account?
Nothing changes. Connect your existing API keys and use TokenBot normally. Referral links only matter for new signups.
Can I see which links are referral links?
Yes. In our app, exchange signup links include our referral codes. We don't hide them—they're in the URL.
Our Commitment
We're committed to:
✅ Disclosing referral relationships - Like we're doing right now
✅ Prioritizing your interests - Recommendations based on quality, not commissions
✅ Keeping core features free - Trade synchronization, bots, alerts—all free
✅ Never holding your funds - Your money stays on your exchanges
✅ Protecting your data - Security and privacy are non-negotiable
Feedback Welcome
