The Glassdoor for crypto affiliates

Is your exchange
paying you fairly?

Compare your real payouts with other affiliates'. A "90% revshare" can pay less than someone else's 50% — fee tiers, bonus clawbacks, maker-fee exclusions and private deals decide what you actually get. One screenshot shows where you stand, in dollars.

The problem

The affiliate market runs on numbers
designed not to be comparable.

Every exchange advertises a revenue share. None of them share the same definition of "revenue". Everything below comes from the exchanges' own terms & policy pages, verified against primary sources in July 2026.

01 · The fee base is net, not gross

Your % applies to what's left over

Bybit computes commission after deducting user fee discounts, market-maker fees and "Other Fees" — a category that explicitly includes bonuses received by your referral. MEXC's own formula: net fees = fees − bonuses − discounts. Binance is cutting its base from gross to net fees in 2026 — with the headline percentage unchanged.

Bybit T&C §9.1 · MEXC agreement · Binance FAQ

02 · Maker volume can pay zero

Half the flow may not count

Bybit's official FAQ: affiliates share fees from referrals' taker volume — maker-fee revenue isn't named as commissionable at all. OKX nets counterparty maker rebates out of your base. If your traders are makers, your "share" applies to a fraction of their real activity.

03 · Promos erase your commission

Their bonus, your cost

At OKX, trades paid with rebate cards, futures credits, contract vouchers or trial funds generate no commission — one of ~14 no-commission scenarios in the rules. The exchange buys loyalty with instruments that zero out your cut on exactly those trades.

04 · Your best users are carved out

Commission ends where volume begins

Binance discontinues Spot/Margin referral commission once your referral reaches VIP 3. OKX caps VIP5–6 referrals at 100,000 per month and pays nothing at all on VIP7+. The whale you spent years cultivating is precisely the user you stop earning on.

05 · Attribution quietly expires

Your referral, until it isn't

Binance Futures commissions expire after 12 months unless you hold a 30%+ tier. At Bybit, a referral inactive for 180 days who comes back through another channel — including a rival affiliate — takes all future commissions with them.

Binance FAQ · Bybit T&C §7.6

06 · Private deals, sealed lips

Equal traffic, unequal pay

Binance's standard agreement lets negotiated "Addenda" override commission terms — its own intro promises "the opportunity to get paid different commission rates" — while the confidentiality clause covers the agreement itself, deterring affiliates from ever comparing notes. The contracts permit unequal deals, then conceal them.

The metric

EPM: earnings per million.

How many dollars you were actually paid for every $1,000,000 of trading volume your users generated. It collapses every hidden term — fee tiers, exclusions, deductions, negotiated rates — into one comparable number. The metrics affiliates use today (headline RevShare %, CPA, EPC) all measure the label on the pipe; no public benchmark measures the output. EPM is that benchmark.

EPM = payouts for period ÷ referred turnover for period × 1,000,000
Example A

$2.4M turnover · $1,150 paid

EPM = $479 — despite a "50%" headline rate.

Example B

$2.4M turnover · $610 paid

EPM = $254 — on a "90%" program.

The point

Same traffic, same month. The 50% deal paid 1.9× more. Headline rates told you the opposite.

Where affiliates actually land
The real distribution stays blurred until you contribute. Your position, medians and per-exchange breakdowns appear the moment your first screenshot lands.
🔒 The live benchmark is hidden

Real medians and the full distribution are revealed the moment you add your own report. That trade is what keeps the data honest — like Glassdoor, but for revshare.

How it works

Three minutes to the truth.

Step 1 · Upload

Screenshot your affiliate panel

Straight from your partner portal — PNG or JPG. Some exchanges split the data (Bybit shows volumes and payouts on different pages): upload several screens and we merge them into one submission. Extra screens also prove panel access and earn the Verified badge.

Step 2 · Verify

The numbers read themselves

Turnover, payouts, period and exchange are extracted automatically and pass authenticity checks — edit-trace detection, cross-checks against the screenshot text, plausibility bounds from real fee schedules. You confirm before anything is saved.

Step 3 · Compare

Your verdict, in dollars

Not just a percentile: "You earn $150 per $1M traded — below the median. At median terms you'd have earned $20,450 more this month." The number you take into your next negotiation.

Privacy

Built on data no one wants to leak,
so it never leaks.

Screenshots stay private

Uploads are used once for extraction and never shown to anyone. Only the derived EPM enters the benchmark pool.

Aggregates only

Other affiliates see medians and distributions — never your identity, exchange account, or raw numbers.

Symmetric trade

You contribute one number, you see the whole market. That's the deal Glassdoor made work for salaries — we're making it work for revshare.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Why not just compare revshare percentages?

Because the percentage applies to a base you can't see — and in some agreements the percentage isn't even there: Binance's signed affiliate terms contain no commission figure at all, and MEXC's ratio is set "at MEXC's discretion". EPM measures output — dollars out per dollars traded — not the label on the pipe.

What if my users are all VIPs with low fees?

Then your EPM will be structurally lower — and that's real information. Filter benchmarks by exchange to compare against similar programs; audience-mix filters are on the roadmap.

Can people submit fake numbers?

Every screenshot passes authenticity checks: edit-trace detection in the image metadata, cross-checks between the confirmed numbers and the text actually on the screenshot, plausibility bounds from real fee schedules, and cross-account duplicate blocking. Only screenshot-verified reports enter the benchmark at all — manually typed numbers power that user's own dashboard but never move the medians.

My panel doesn't show volume and payouts together

Common — Bybit, for example, splits them across pages. Upload several screenshots in one go; they're merged into a single submission. A second screen of your panel (referral links, user list) also proves real access and earns the Verified badge.

Stop negotiating blind.

One screenshot. One honest number. The whole market for context.
