KuCoin Feed Updates: Avatar Badge & Sharing Feature Upgrade Now Live

04/24/2026, 16:00:00

This update focuses on two core capabilities: improving content sharing efficiency and strengthening creator identity recognition, further enhancing Feed’s content distribution and trust system.
 
What’s New in This Update
 
Sharing Feature Upgrade
We’ve comprehensively upgraded the sharing flow, making content more engaging for off-platform distribution while enabling conversion and monetization.
 
Content Sharing Image Optimization
Say goodbye to basic screenshots. Content is now automatically converted into structured shareable images, delivering a more polished experience across social platforms.
  1. One-click share image generation: Tap “Share” to generate high-quality content visuals instantly
  2. Clear header information: Displays user avatar, nickname, and verification badges
  3. Complete content display: Text, #Topics, and $Tokens are fully shown with highlights
  4. Long content auto-adapts into long images, improving readability and shareability
This ensures every post maintains a professional and consistent appearance across external platforms.
 
Referral-enabled Sharing Links
Sharing is no longer just about exposure — it can also generate real value.
  1. Auto-attached referral code: When sharing a link, referral parameters are automatically appended
  2. Channel tracking: All shared links include a “feed” source tag for accurate attribution
 
Referral Flow Overview
  1. New users who register via shared links will be automatically linked to the inviter
  2. Trading fees generated by invited users will be shared with the content creator based on the applicable rate
This allows quality content to evolve from “being seen” to “being monetized.”
 
Avatar Badge (Verification Badges)
Feed now introduces a unified avatar verification system to help users quickly identify different types of creators and information sources.
 
Three Types of Verification
Official Accounts: KuCoin-operated accounts used for platform announcements and key updates, representing the highest level of authority.
Verified Creators: Creators verified by the platform who consistently produce high-quality content and market insights.
X-Linked Accounts: Users who have linked their X (Twitter) accounts, enabling content synchronization and improving transparency.
 
Global Display & Priority
Verification badges are displayed across all user touchpoints, including:
  1. Feed posts and comment sections
  2. User profiles (all badges shown next to the username)
  3. Search results and user lists
Additional Notes on Verification
  1. All verification statuses are configured and managed via the platform backend
  2. Users who complete X account binding will automatically receive the corresponding badge
  3. If an account is banned due to violations, all badges will be hidden and restored upon reinstatement
With this verification system, high-quality creators stand out more clearly, and users can more easily identify trustworthy content in a sea of information.
 
We will continue to enhance the connection between content, creators, and trading. More updates are coming soon — stay tuned.
