  • Each week’s bonus commission is calculated independently and does not affect the following week's commission.

Example:

  • User A ranked 101 during Week 2 (2025-11-03 to 2024-11-09). As they are not ranked on the top 1 - 100, they will only receive the 20% basic commission and no extra bonus commission for Week 2.

8. How is my reward calculated?

Your reward for each eligible trade is calculated as follows:

Reward = Net trading fee generated by qualified trades from your readers * Your commission rate

  • Commission Rate: This includes a fixed basic commission of 20% plus any applicable bonus commission (up to 30%) based on your weekly ranking.
  • Commissions are calculated on a per-trade basis and aggregated weekly.

Important details on fee calculation:

  • The final commission will be calculated based on the actual net trading fees incurred (excluding referral commission, VIP discounts, trading fee discounts when using BNB, API broker rebates, and other fee discounts).
  • Users will not receive commissions from trades if any of the following conditions are met:
    • Trades made by users who signed up via referral codes/links (including Referral Lite and Pro).
    • Trades involving trading pairs that do not incur trading fees.
    • Trades executed by market makers or brokers.
    • API trades.
    • Trades from stablecoin to stablecoin.
    • Other conditions that trigger non-commissionable criteria.
  • As there is zero trading fee for Convert trading, we will use an estimated fee rate of 0.1% of the trading volume to calculate the Convert trading fee commissions in this campaign.
  • The current commission does not affect users’ referral commission. You will continue to earn referral commissions from users who register via your referral code or link as usual.

9. When and how are rewards distributed?

  • Each week runs from Monday, 00:00 (UTC) to Sunday, 23:59 (UTC). Each day runs from 00:00 (UTC) to 23:59 (UTC).

11. Am I eligible to receive commissions from my own transactions on Binance?

No, Binance Square creators will not be eligible to earn any trading fee commissions from their own Spot, Margin, Futures and/or Convert trade(s).

12. I have made many posts but haven’t earned any rewards yet. Why is that?

“Write to Earn” rewards are based on how many readers directly trade through your content, not on viewership or engagement metrics like likes, shares, or comments. Simply posting frequently does not guarantee rewards.

To increase your chances, focus on creating high-quality content. You can refer to the Pro tips here to boost your Write to Earn rewards.

13. Will I receive commission if my referrals trade via my content?

Trades made by users who sign up through any referral codes/links (including Referral Lite and Pro), whether yours or others’, will not generate commission under the “Write to Earn” promotion. However, this does not affect your referral commission. You will continue to earn referral commissions from users who register via your referral code or link.

We encourage you to post quality content on Binance Square to engage your referrals and followers. Binance Square is an excellent tool that offers many features to help you maintain and strengthen your relationship with your referrals, fostering loyalty and deeper connections.

You can earn up to 50% referral commission on trades from your referrals, and up to 50% “Write to Earn” commission on non‑referral trades driven by your content.

14. Can I earn rewards from both “Write to Earn” and other campaigns on Binance Square for the same content?

No, rewards from the “Write to Earn” program are mutually exclusive with rewards from other Binance Square campaigns. Specifically, any content linked to CreatorPad activities will be excluded from this promotion, as participants in CreatorPad receive rewards preferentially from the CreatorPad incentive pool.

15. Who is ineligible to participate or receive any rewards from this promotion?

  • Illegally bulk registered accounts or sub-accounts are not eligible to participate.
  • If an account breaches the Community Guidelines or Binance Square Terms of Use eligibility to reward may be canceled.
  • Binance reserves the right to immediately disqualify any participants showing signs of fraudulent, dishonest, or abusive activities, including but not limited to wash trading, bulk account registrations, self-dealing, market manipulation, using the same or related IP addresses or devices, exhibiting fund linkage between accounts, posting low-quality content, relying on a fixed group of readers to trade across one or multiple settlement periods to earn rewards, and any other activities related to unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purposes. Furthermore, Binance reserves the right to take appropriate measures against any attempted or confirmed fraudulent behavior, whether carried out manually or through technical means, including revoking rewards and participation eligibility.
