Our commission relationship with Binance, laid bare
This page covers one thing: how AINEX makes money from this site, and whether that affects you. We'd rather say it plainly than leave you finishing the page still wondering whether there's some unstated interest behind us.
The core fact
AINEX is a promotional partner (affiliate) of Binance. When you register and use Binance through the invite code BN4001 we provide, or links on this site pointing to Binance, Binance pays us a share of commission as promotional compensation, under its referral-partner rules.
The "Sign up" and "Open a Web3 wallet" buttons on the site, when clicked, first pass through a redirect page on our own site, then go to Binance official. That redirect is purely a technical arrangement (it keeps links centrally managed and avoids piling promotional URLs directly into the articles); the destination is Binance official, and it won't route you to any third party.
What this means for you
- It adds nothing to your cost. The commission is a slice Binance pays to referrers out of the fee it already charges, not extra taken from you. Register through our link and you pay the same fees as someone who didn't; and because you came in with an invite code, your side usually gets a tier of fee discount too. In short, this relationship only means "possibly cheaper" for you, never "more expensive."
- The discount rate goes by Binance's page. The fee discount we mention on the site (20%, for instance) is based on the current promotional setup; what you can actually get, and whether it changes, goes entirely by what Binance's page shows live when you register and trade, and it may shift with Binance's policy. We have no ability, and no intention, to alter the real rate on Binance's side.
- We have a motive to recommend you register, which is exactly why you should judge for yourself. A commission naturally creates a motive to get you to register, that's plain. We say it out loud precisely so you read with it in mind: the pitfall-avoidance and verification tips in the guides are genuinely useful substance, but the decision of "whether to register, whether to take part in crypto" has to be yours, don't just follow because we said it was good.
In one line: we run on commission, but the commission spends Binance's money, not yours; we'll recommend registering, but whether you do, and how much, is for you to decide.
What we don't, and won't, do
- We don't invent content for commission. We won't hide the risk or hype something unreliable as a sure win just to rush you into registering. Risks that need flagging get flagged as usual, even if it means some readers leave after reading.
- We don't take your money. This site is entirely free for readers; we charge no membership fee, consulting fee, or "insider tip" fee. Anyone approaching you for money in AINEX's name isn't us.
- We don't carry Binance's responsibility. Binance's services, rates, policies, and availability are decided and owned by Binance; we only explain how to use it, we're not its agent, and for platform-level problems, go straight to Binance official support.
- We don't pose as official. AINEX is an independent third-party content site, not Binance official and not affiliated with Binance. Like you, we're a Binance user.
A note on external links
Articles occasionally cite authoritative external sources (the Binance official help center, Wikipedia, Investopedia, and so on). Those citations exist so you can verify and read more expert explanations, and we earn nothing from them, they're purely for reference. The only links that can earn us a commission are those pointing to Binance registration or account opening, and they're all marked as such on the site.
For who we are and why we use a pen name, see About; for the risks of crypto itself, please read the Disclaimer through. Those two pages go together with this one, and we'd suggest reading all three.
