Binance Square’s “Write to Earn” Upgrade now lets content creators earn up to 50% of trading fees as commission from their posts�. This major update supercharges the creator economy on Binance Square (formerly Binance Feed), merging content creation with real trading activity. If you’re a crypto-savvy creator, your articles, posts, videos, or even live audio sessions can now generate direct income – rewarding you for driving engagement and trades through your content��. Let’s break down what the
#WriteToEarnUpgrade means for you and how to make the most of it.
New Monetization Structure: 20% Base Commission, Up to 50% Total
Under the upgraded program, every verified creator earns a base 20% commission on trading fees from each eligible trade triggered by their content�. This commission is one-time per trade – whenever a reader clicks on a coin link in your post and makes a trade, you get 20% of that trade’s fee as a reward�. On top of this, Binance Square introduced performance bonuses to boost your earnings:
Bonus Commission: Each week, the top-performing creators earn extra commission. Top 1–30 creators by weekly earnings get an additional 30% bonus, bringing their total commission to 50% of trading fees�. Those ranked 31–100 receive an extra 10% (total 30% commission) for that week’s trades�. Creators outside the top 100 still keep the base 20% commission.
Weekly Resets: Rankings and bonuses reset every week, giving everyone a fresh chance to climb the leaderboard�. The bonus commission is calculated weekly and does not carry over to the next week�.
This structure significantly boosts earning potential – from a flat 20% up to a 50% share of trading fees for top creators�. It’s a huge leap from the previous 30% cap, making Binance Square’s program one of the most rewarding in the crypto content space��.
Eligible Content Formats on Binance Square
One of the best parts of the
#WriteToEarnUpgrade is the flexibility in content types. You can monetize almost any format of content on Binance Square, including:
Short posts (quick updates or insights)
Long-form articles (in-depth analyses or guides)
Videos (market updates, tutorials, etc.)
Polls (interactive posts to engage the community)
Audio Lives / Live chats (audio sessions or live discussions)
All of the above count as qualified content as long as they’re published on Binance Square after you’ve registered for the program��. This means whether you prefer writing, filming, or speaking, you can earn from your unique content style. (Note: Posts containing quiz-style giveaways aren’t eligible for commissions�.)
How Monetization Works (Coin Tags, Widgets & Trades)
Earning with Write to Earn is directly tied to trading activity generated by your content, not just views or likes. Here’s how it works:
Coin Cashtags & Price Widgets: When creating content, you can tag cryptocurrencies (e.g., typing $BTC creates a cashtag) or embed price chart widgets. These are not just for show – they are interactive. If a reader clicks on a coin tag or widget in your post, it opens the trading interface for that coin�.
Referral-Triggered Trades: If the reader then places a Spot, Margin, Futures, or Convert trade immediately after clicking through your post, that trade is linked to your content�. You’ll earn the commission on the trading fee for that transaction. For example, if a user reads your analysis on BTC, clicks your $BTC tag, and buys BTC on Binance, you get 20% of Binance’s trading fee from that trade (and even more if you’re eligible for a weekly bonus)��.
Eligible Traders: The program counts trades by regular Binance users and VIP 1-2 users who click your content’s tags�. In other words, you can earn from existing Binance users’ activity, not just new referrals. This is a key difference from typical affiliate programs. (High-tier VIPs, market makers, or users already tied to another referral are excluded from generating commissions for you��.)
No Sign-Up Needed for Readers: Unlike referral links, your audience doesn’t need to sign up anew or enter a code – if they have a Binance account and trade via your content, you earn. This makes monetization feel natural and integrated into the content experience.
Importantly, quality matters. It’s not about spam or sheer post quantity – “Write to Earn” rewards are based on how many readers directly trade through your content, not on viewership or likes�. Focus on providing valuable insights or timely analysis that might prompt readers to take action. Every trade that your content inspires is a win-win: the reader engages with the market, and you earn a commission reward.
Weekly Leaderboards & Bonus Rewards
To further incentivize creators, Binance Square runs a weekly leaderboard that ranks creators by the basic commission they’ve earned that week��. At the end of each weekly cycle (Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59 UTC), the bonus commissions are determined as follows:
Top 1–30 Creators: +30% bonus commission (total 50% of fees)�
Top 31–100 Creators: +10% bonus commission (total 30% of fees)�
All Others (101+): No extra bonus (keep base 20%)�
This essentially creates a bonus pool that rewards the most effective content creators each week. If you drive a lot of trading activity and crack the Top 30, you’ll enjoy the maximum 50% fee share on those trades�. If you land in the Top 100, you still get a nice boost to 30%�. These bonuses are paid out weekly in USDC directly to your Binance Funding Wallet�.
Payout and Tracking: Binance calculates all your readers’ qualified trades and your commissions at the end of the week, then distributes the earnings by the following Thursday (UTC) in USDC��. You’ll receive a notification from the Square Assistant with a breakdown if your content earned commissions on a given day�. There’s also a dedicated promotion page where you can track your weekly ranking, total rewards, and even see stats per content piece – giving you insights into what content resonated most with traders�. (Note: There’s a minimum payout threshold of 0.1 USDC – tiny amounts below that roll off each week�.)
Keep Content Fresh: One important update is that a post’s ability to generate new commissions ends after 7 days�. This means to maximize earnings (and stay on the leaderboard), creators should post regularly with up-to-date content. It encourages keeping the feed full of fresh insights, which in turn keeps readers engaged and trading. Consistency and timely content can pay off both in audience growth and in weekly bonuses.
Why This Beats Traditional Affiliate Programs
The Write to Earn Upgrade isn’t your typical affiliate program – it’s arguably more creator-friendly. Here are some advantages it offers over conventional referral schemes:
Monetize Existing Users: Traditional affiliate programs (like Binance’s referral program) usually pay you only for new user sign-ups and their trades. In contrast, Write to Earn lets you earn from any reader’s trades, as long as they engage via your content��. You’re tapping into Binance’s entire user base, not just newcomers, which hugely expands your earning potential.
High Commission Rates: Earning a 20% fee commission per trade is already hefty – and reaching 30-50% puts it on par with top-tier affiliate rates��. The difference is you don’t need to refer hundreds of users to get there; strong content that drives a few big trades can boost you up the weekly ranks. It’s a performance-based model that rewards quality over quantity of referrals.
No Extra Marketing Friction: With Write to Earn, you don’t have to convince your audience to enter a referral code or use a special link. The content itself is the funnel. Readers click organically because they’re interested in a coin you mentioned or a chart you shared. The experience is seamless, which means higher chances they actually trade (and thus higher conversion to commissions for you).
Fast, Ongoing Payouts: Affiliate programs sometimes pay out monthly or have long cookie windows. Here, you get paid **weekly in crypto (USDC)**� for the trading activity this week. Plus, as long as you keep creating, you can keep earning indefinitely – it’s not one-and-done bounties.
Stackable with Referrals: Already a Binance affiliate? Good news – Write to Earn commissions do not affect your normal referral commissions��. If a new user joins via your referral link, you’ll get the referral bonus (up to 50% on their trades) as usual, but those referred users’ trades won’t count for Write to Earn��. Meanwhile, non-referred users’ trades will earn you Write to Earn commissions. Essentially, you can monetize both audiences: referrals and regular readers. Binance lets you earn 50% from referrals and another 50% from content-driven trades in parallel��. That’s a powerful dual income stream for creators.
Low Barrier to Entry: Binance’s official affiliate program sometimes requires you to have a large following or apply for approval. By contrast, any Binance user who is identity-verified and sets up their Square profile can join Write to Earn�. There’s no requirement for a huge social media presence – if you have knowledge to share, you can start earning by sharing it. This democratizes the opportunity for up-and-coming creators.
In short, the Write to Earn Upgrade aligns monetization directly with the value you provide to readers. It turns influence into earnings in a more inclusive and immediate way than many traditional affiliate setups.
How to Join & Start Earning
Getting started with Write to Earn is straightforward and quick. If you’re a content creator ready to monetize your crypto knowledge, here are the steps to jump in:
Verify Your Binance Account: You must complete identity verification (KYC) on your Binance account to be eligible�. This ensures you’re a real user and unlocks full access to Binance Square features.
Set Up Your Binance Square Profile: On Binance Square, add a profile picture (avatar) and choose a nickname�. Essentially, make sure your Square account looks legit and creator-ready.
Register for the Write to Earn Promotion: Go to the official Write to Earn promotion page on Binance Square and click **“Register Now”**�. (If you were already part of a previous Write to Earn campaign, you’re automatically enrolled in the upgraded program – no need to re-register�.)
Create Quality Content: Now the real work begins – start publishing qualified content pieces on Binance Square. This can be a short market update post, a detailed analysis article, a price prediction video, a poll about a trending topic, or even an audio live session discussing trades. All these formats qualify as long as you post them organically on Square after registering��. Aim for content that’s insightful, timely, and engaging. High-quality content not only attracts more readers (potential traders) but also builds your reputation and following on the platform.
Incorporate Coin Tags & Widgets: Make your content interactive. Add coin cashtags (e.g. type $ETH in your text) for the coins you discuss, and consider inserting price chart widgets when relevant�. These elements invite readers to take action. For example, if you’re analyzing a breakout on BNB, tagging $BNB lets readers conveniently click to trade BNB from your post. You can include up to 3 coin tags per post�, so choose them wisely based on what you cover.
Promote and Engage: Share your Binance Square posts with your followers on other platforms, encourage discussions in the comments, and engage with feedback. While views and likes don’t directly earn you money, engagement can lead more people to see your post and possibly trade through it. Plus, growing your follower base on Square means future posts will get more traction, creating a virtuous cycle of more potential commissions.
Monitor Your Performance: Keep an eye on your commission stats via the Square Assistant notifications and the promotion leaderboard page. This will show which content pieces are driving trades and how close you are to grabbing a weekly bonus�. Use these insights to refine your content strategy (focus on topics that trigger interest or trades).
Once you’re set up, the key is to stay consistent and strategic. Treat it like building any content channel – except now every piece has a monetization angle tied to real trading activity.
Extra Perks and Pro Tips
The Write to Earn Upgrade isn’t just about the commission percentages – Binance Square has added features and updates to help creators succeed:
More Content Tools: Binance Square provides rich post creation tools. You can integrate candlestick charts, share verified trading card screenshots of your own trades, and mention trending tokens (which the system will auto-highlight)��. These make your posts more informative and actionable, increasing the likelihood readers will make a trade through your content.
Multimedia & Live Engagement: With Audio Live sessions now eligible, you can host live discussions or AMA-style talks. During an audio live, you can even sync your own trades in real-time so listeners can follow along�. This real-time engagement can inspire immediate trading from your audience (imagine discussing a coin and taking a live trade – interested listeners might click the coin and trade too). Such interactive formats are a new frontier for content monetization.
Credibility Boosters: The upgrade coincides with features like Trader Profile and Live Futures Profile on Binance Square�. These allow you to showcase your trading performance (PNL%, ROI, etc.) if you choose, lending credibility to your analysis. A well-optimized profile can attract more followers and trust, indirectly boosting your Write to Earn success.
Community and Learning: Binance Square is a social platform at heart, so take advantage of the community. Follow other successful creators, see what they’re doing, and learn from the content that tops the leaderboard each week. There are also Binance Square Talks and hashtag trends (like #WriteToEarnUpgrade) where you can get tips and updates. Being active in the community can increase your visibility (and your follower count), which means more eyes on your posts.
No Downside, Only Upside: Perhaps the nicest perk – there’s no “cost” to participating. The program doesn’t deduct anything from you; the commissions come from Binance’s standard trading fee cut. So you’re not charging your readers; Binance is sharing its revenue with you for helping drive trades. It’s a true win-win. Even if one week you don’t make the leaderboard, you still keep whatever commission you earned from any trades your content generated. Over time, those can add up nicely, essentially providing a passive income stream on content you’ve already created.
Conclusion: Seize the Upgrade Opportunity
