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 takes part in Binance's referral program (as an affiliate). 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 program rules.
The "Sign up for Binance" button in our registration guide takes you straight to Binance official, carrying our invite code, and won't route you to any third party.
What this means for you
- The fee rebate you can get. Sign up with our referral code and get up to 20% of trading fees back — the rate shown on Binance's page applies.
- The fee-rebate rate goes by Binance's page. What you can actually get, and whether it changes, goes entirely by what Binance's page shows 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 and 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.
A note on external links
Articles occasionally cite external sources. The third-party ones (Wikipedia, Investopedia, regulators' official sites, and the like) are there purely for reference, and we earn nothing from them. Links to Binance's Help Center, Academy and announcements are plain official links with no invite code, and we earn nothing from those either. Invite code BN4001 appears only on the home page, the sign-up guide and this disclosure page; other pages don't display it.
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.
