Referral Disclosure
What keeps a content site alive is something readers have a right to know. This page says it plainly: what our relationship with Binance is, and what it means for you.
The short version
This site takes part in Binance's referral program. The invite code BN1516 appears only on the homepage and on a handful of guides about the invite code and opening an account; other pages don't show it, and those few guides also keep a referral link. If you enter the code when you register and then trade, Binance may pay Manfu a referral service fee. This adds nothing to your cost — what you pay Binance is the same as if you'd registered without the code.
Register with the invite code BN1516 and you won't pay a cent more; we may earn a little referral income from it to keep the site running. That's all.
Where the money comes from
Binance runs a referral (Affiliate) program: when a new user registers through a referral partner's link and generates trades, Binance takes a portion of the trading fees it already charges that user and pays it to the referral partner as a referral service fee. Manfu is one such referral partner.
The key point: this service fee comes from Binance's side — it's a distribution Binance makes within the fees it already collects, not a markup added onto you. In other words, with or without us as the middleman, your trading cost is the same.
One step further: Binance's referral program lets referral partners pass part of their own earnings back to new users who register through an invite code, in the form of a fee discount. Manfu passes this part to you — so after registering with invite code BN1516, your trading fees can enjoy up to 20% off. This ratio is determined by Binance's referral rules, may change with Binance's policies, and the rate actually shown in your Binance account is the final word.
Why we rely on this
Writing articles, building tools, and maintaining the site all take time and money. Manfu charges readers nothing, sells no courses, and puts up no paywalls; the referral service fee is our main source of operating funds. We think this way is friendlier to readers than plastering ads everywhere or selling things — you pay nothing, and you don't see a screen full of pop-ups. But since we profit from it, all the more reason to put it in the open, so you can judge what we say with full knowledge.
Does this affect what we write
This is the point we most want to make clear. Any recommendation or leaning we give is based on judgment about the method itself — a platform's usability, whether its auto-invest is good to use, whether it's friendly to beginners — not on who pays a higher commission. If a platform suits you better, we'll say so; if there are shortcomings, we won't cover for it.
More importantly, our position from start to finish is this: DCA is a method, and whether it suits you, whether to do it, and which platform to use are all decisions you make in the end. We encourage you to compare different platforms' rates, features, security, and availability in your region, then choose. We won't, and shouldn't, rush you to open an account just because we have a referral relationship.
About the referral links
On the vast majority of pages we show no invite code and place no link at all. The code BN1516 appears only on the homepage and on a handful of pages about the invite code and opening an account — it sits there, and whether and when you go to Binance is your call. Those few pages about the invite code and opening an account each still keep a single referral link to Binance's official site (the URL carries our referral code, e.g. binance.com/join?ref=BN1516). For those remaining links, our principles:
- Transparent and checkable. The link points directly at Binance's official site, so you can see the real destination URL, rather than having the redirect hidden in the body text so you click out without realizing.
- Technical labeling. These links are marked as referral links in the code (
rel="sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer"), an honest practice toward both search engines and readers.
Clicking a referral link or copying an invitation code sends an interaction event to Google Analytics 4, including the action, its position on the page and the page language. Binance registration and identity verification happen on Binance's official site.
