Based on the quarterly assessment results, partners who do not meet the requirements will be upgraded or downgraded. Quarterly assessments start on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of the calendar year, with adjustments based on the previous quarter's partner target completion status.
Additionally, during the quarterly assessment, partners who have not completed a quarter will not be subject to any downgrade assessment.

Definition of Valid New Invitees
-
The statistical subjects are users you directly invited to register, excluding users invited by sub-partners;
-
The invited person must complete their first transaction within the assessment period, and the trading amount must meet the requirements. Transaction types include spot (including margin trading), futures, etc.;
-
The invitee must have made a deposit before their first transaction. Deposit methods include through OTC, third parties, fiat deposits, and cryptocurrency deposits, but do not include KuCoin voucher deposits.
Definition of Cumulative Trading Amount
-
The statistical subjects are users you directly invited to register, excluding users invited by sub-partners;
-
Transaction types include spot (including margin trading), futures, etc. Futures, spot, or margin trading will enjoy the same commission rate.
*If the partner level has been adjusted, the partner's commission rate will be changed accordingly. If a cashback rate is set and the affiliate's commission rate remains at 40% or higher after horizontal adjustment, the cashback rate for the invitee will not change. If the affiliate's adjusted commission rate is below the set invitee cashback rate, the invitee's cashback rate will also decrease accordingly. When the affiliate's commission rate becomes 0, the invitee's cashback rate will also be zero.
Upgrade and Downgrade Examples
Upgraded: If you were a Level 1 affiliate before the quarterly assessment and achieved two goals of LV2 (trading amount over 2,000,000 USDT, effective number of invitees 20 or more), your new affiliate level will be adjusted to LV2 after assessment.
Downgrade: If you were a LV3 affiliate before the quarterly assessment and only met one of the current level's criteria (any one requirement: trading amount or effective number of invitees), your new affiliate level will be adjusted to a lower level after assessment. If you fail to meet the two requirements of the current level during the first assessment period, you will receive an email reminder. Assuming you fail to meet the LV1 assessment requirements for two consecutive quarters (both requirements: trading amount or effective number of invitees), the cashback ratio will be temporarily adjusted to 15%, and will be restored to the relevant level after meeting the assessment requirements.
KuCoin Affiliate Commission Rules Adjustment
To protect the interests of affiliates, if users invited by affiliates use broker trading strategies, commissions will also be distributed to affiliates. This rule will take effect after September 15, 2025 (UTC+8), and the commission rules are adjusted as follows:
"Under what conditions can affiliates receive commissions?"
Condition 1: Users of broker trading strategies must be users invited by affiliates;
Condition 2: The country/region where the affiliate is located must support the commission system; if not supported, commissions cannot be distributed;
Condition 3: The affiliate's UID must not be a broker partner set by the broker. If the affiliate and the broker are in a partnership, no commissions will be distributed;
Condition 4: Users invited by affiliates must use broker strategies for trading after September 15, 2025 (UTC+8). If the invited user registered before September 15, 2025 (UTC+8) and used broker strategies before that date, no commissions will be given to the affiliate.
If all the above conditions are met, affiliates will receive commissions when users invited by them trade using broker strategies.
"How much commission will affiliates receive from broker trading strategy users?"
The net asset fees generated from trading by broker trading strategy users invited by affiliates will first be divided equally as the commission base, distributed to both the affiliate and the broker, and then distributed according to the affiliate's current commission ratio.
*This rule update only affects commissions and does not affect affiliate assessments. The trading volume of commission orders is still counted towards the broker, not the affiliate.
Example Explanation
After September 15, 2025, an affiliate invited a user who subsequently used broker trading strategies to conduct a transaction. If a single transaction generates a fee of 10 USDT, then according to the principle of equal commission base, 5 USDT will be the commission base for the affiliate. Currently, the affiliate's commission ratio is 60%, so the commission returned to the affiliate will be 5*60% = 3 USDT.
Users invited by the affiliate before September 15, 2025, and those who used the broker trading strategy before September 15, 2025, will not be eligible for commissions due to the adjustment of the affiliate commission rules not being in effect.
