Affiliate programs in crypto vary widely. Some offer flat one-time bounties while others may cap your earnings or set short commission windows. The BloFin Affiliate Program is built on a different model: lifetime commissions on the trading fees your referrals generate, across both futures and spot, for as long as they remain active on the platform. The more your audience trades, and the longer they stay, the more you earn. Furthermore, that compounds further when your referrals bring in their own networks.
What is the BloFin Affiliate Program?
The BloFin Affiliate Program is a commission-based program designed for content creators, influencers, community leaders, and publishers who want to earn from introducing traders to BloFin. You generate referral links, share them with your audience, and earn a lifetime commission on the trading fees generated by everyone who signs up through your link, across both futures and spot trading.
How commissions work
When someone registers on BloFin through your referral link and places trades, you earn a percentage of their trading fees. This applies to both futures and spot. The commission is paid in USDT, settled hourly starting at 00:00 UTC, and credited to your Funding Account.
The commission is lifetime. As long as your referred users continue trading on BloFin, you continue earning from their activity with no time cap.
Commission tiers and assessment requirements
Affiliates are assessed every three months. Your commission level depends on meeting both a trading volume and an active trader count threshold within each cycle.
Level | Commission rate | 3-month volume requirement | Active traders required |
Level 1 | 40% | 1,000,000 USDT | 10 |
Level 2 | 45% | 5,000,000 USDT | 50 |
Level 3 | 50% | 10,000,000 USDT | 100 |
If your invitees generate enough volume and active traders to qualify for a higher level in a given cycle, your commission rate is automatically upgraded. If you fall below your current level's requirements, you're downgraded to the level you do qualify for. If you fall below Level 1 requirements, your commission reverts to 30% (the standard rate for regular users) until you meet the Level 1 thresholds again.
Sub-affiliate structure and commission calculation
The sub-affiliate system is one of the more powerful aspects of this program. You can invite other affiliates as sub-affiliates, and when they generate commissions from their own invitees, you earn the difference between your rate and the rate you've allocated to them.
Here's how it works with a Level 3 example. Say you're at 50% and you allocate 47% to sub-affiliate A, A allocates 45% to B, and B allocates 40% to C:
You earn 50% from your direct invitees, plus 3% from A's invitees, plus 3% from B's invitees, plus 3% from C's invitees
A earns 47% from their direct invitees, plus 2% from B's, plus 2% from C's
B earns 45% from their direct invitees, plus 5% from C's
C earns 40% from their direct invitees
To put numbers to it: if your direct invitees generated 500 USDT in trading fees, A's generated 200 USDT, B's generated 1,000 USDT, and C's generated 800 USDT, you would earn 500×50% + 200×3% + 1,000×3% + 800×3% = 310 USDT for that period.
The chain can extend up to 29 levels of sub-affiliates, giving you up to 30 tiers in total. The commission rates you can allocate to sub-affiliates are capped at your own tier rate. You can't give away more than you earn.
Invitee benefits and referral link customisation
Users who register through your referral link receive a 20% trading fee rebate, credited automatically to their Rewards Hub. You can customize the rebate for each of your referral links, setting it anywhere from 0% to 20%.
You can create up to 30 different referral links, each with its own customized rebate rate and suffix name. This lets you track performance across different channels or audiences and tailor your offering to different communities.
Community management tools
BloFin provides a Community Bot for both Telegram and Discord that affiliates can use to manage their communities more effectively.
The bot lets you set entry conditions for your group (minimum trading volume, net deposit thresholds, or invitees-only access) and automatically removes members who don't qualify. It also handles welcome messages, periodic compliance checks, and role-based access control on Discord.
For data management, you can view and export member data including deposit volume, trading volume, and commission details. This makes it easier to track who in your community is active and whether they're meeting your group's requirements.
Access to the Community Bot is available to approved BloFin Affiliates.
What else comes with being an affiliate
Beyond the commission structure, BloFin affiliates also get access to regular affiliate benefit activities and offline affiliate meetups. These are worth knowing about, particularly for those who want to connect with other affiliates or get closer access to the BloFin team.
Who the program is for
The program is designed for people with an engaged audience in the crypto space: content creators, newsletter writers, trading group managers, educators, community leaders, or anyone with consistent reach into the trading community.
The lifetime commission model rewards long-term audience relationships. If the people you refer are serious traders who stay active on BloFin, the compounding effect over time, particularly once a sub-affiliate network builds, can be substantial.
How to get started as a BloFin Affiliate
Before you can formally get started as a BloFin Affiliate, you’ll need to first submit your application and get approved.
Step 1: Log in to your BloFin account and hover your cursor over the More tab. Then, click Affiliates.
Step 2: Click Become an Affiliate and fill in your details. Then, click Submit.
Once your application has been approved, you'll have access to the Affiliate Management page.
Step 3: On the Affiliate Management page, click Manage Referral Link, then Create Link.
Step 4: Set the cashback rebate you want to offer invitees (anywhere from 0% to 20%) and add a custom suffix name to help you identify the link. You can create up to 30 links, each with different settings for different channels or campaigns.
Step 5: Share your referral links or codes across your channels (social media, newsletters, community groups), or wherever your audience is active. Each link tracks its own invitees independently, so you can see which channels are driving the most registrations and trading activity.
Step 6: Commissions settle hourly starting at 00:00 UTC in USDT and are credited directly to your Funding Account. On the Affiliate Management dashboard, you can monitor total commission earned, invitee count, traded users, total trading volume, and first-time trades. Click View Data Analysis to filter by time range and break down performance by referral link.
Step 7 (optional): If you want to bring in other affiliates under your network, go to Sub-Affiliate and click Invite Sub-Affiliate on the Affiliate Management page. Enter the sub-affiliate's BloFin ID and set their commission rate. You can adjust their rate at any time, but the ID cannot be changed once set. Their invitees' trading fees will contribute to your earnings at the rate differential between your tier and theirs.
Step 8 (optional): If you manage a Telegram or Discord community, the Community Bot lets you automate entry requirements, verification, and member management. For Telegram, log into the Affiliate Dashboard and navigate to the Community Bot tab to start the setup. For Discord, contact your BloFin BD manager to whitelist your Discord username first, then invite the bot to your server.
