In response to recent service adjustments, OKX is committed to transparency, user support, and long-term trust-building. Following the resumption of withdrawal functionality, OKX has launched a comprehensive compensation and rewards program designed to acknowledge user patience, reinforce platform loyalty, and deliver tangible value to the community.
This initiative reflects our core commitment: user-first principles. Below is a detailed overview of the compensation structure, eligibility criteria, distribution mechanics, and key benefits for all eligible users.
🔄 Overview of Withdrawal Resumption & User Appreciation
After temporarily pausing withdrawals due to operational security protocols, OKX resumed full withdrawal services by November 27, 2020 (HKT). To express sincere appreciation for user understanding during this period—and to reward continued engagement—we are rolling out a multi-tiered compensation strategy targeting different user segments based on activity, asset holdings, and transaction history.
The program emphasizes fairness, transparency, and measurable impact—ensuring that active traders, long-term holders, and affected fiat users all receive meaningful recognition.

✅ Key Compensation Programs
1. Friday Bonus Incentive Program ("Happy Friday")
A recurring weekly reward initiative aimed at encouraging continued trading and asset retention on the platform.
🔹 Program Duration
- First distribution: December 4, 2020 (HKT)
- Ongoing: Every Friday thereafter
🔹 Eligibility Criteria
Users must meet all of the following:
- Daily average assets ≥ 100 USDT or daily average trading volume ≥ 100 USDT
- KYC verification level ≥ 2
- Active account status with no violations
🔹 Reward Distribution Mechanism
Each Friday at 17:00 HKT, 20% of the previous week’s futures contract fee revenue will be distributed in BTC to eligible users. This is split evenly between two components:
- 10% allocated by asset weight
- 10% allocated by trading volume weight
🔹 Calculation Details
Asset-Based Share:
Weekly incentive = (Platform futures fees × 10%) × (User’s 7-day avg. asset value / Total users’ 7-day avg. asset value)
Volume-Based Share:
Weekly incentive = (Platform futures fees × 10%) × (User’s 7-day avg. trading volume / Total users’ 7-day avg. trading volume)
🔹 Important Notes
Capped values:
- Daily asset value capped at 10,000 USDT
- Daily trading volume capped at 30,000 USDT
- Eligible assets: Based on a dynamic list of 20 major cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, USDT, OKB, DOT, ADA, UNI, and others.
- OKB multiplier: OKB holdings are counted double in asset valuation.
- Included balances: Savings products like Earn (formerly “余币宝”) are included; leveraged liabilities are subtracted as negative values.
- Exclusions: Sub-accounts are not eligible.
💡 Special Launch Bonus: The first round (Dec 4) includes seven weeks’ worth of accumulated fees—from October 16 to December 4—with user weights calculated over that entire period.
2. High-Value Holder Fee Rebate Program
A one-time gesture of goodwill for users with substantial holdings during a critical time.
🔹 Snapshot Date & Eligibility
- Snapshot taken: November 24, 2020, 00:00 HKT
- Must have net assets > 10,000 USDT (aggregated across main and sub-accounts)
🔹 Rebate Card Allocation
| Asset Range (USDT) | Fee Rebate Card (USDT) |
|---|---|
| 10,000 – 100,000 | 100 |
| 100,000 – 200,000 | 200 |

Users must have:
- Conducted fiat withdrawals between October 21 and November 23, 2020
- Incurred net losses in fiat trading
- No fiat deposits or internal transfers into their accounts during the pause period

- Amount above 300 USDT (up to 1,000 USDT) issued as a trading fee rebate card

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: When were withdrawals restored?
A: Withdrawals were fully restored by November 27, 2020 (HKT), following enhanced system checks and security validations.
Q: How is the "daily average asset" calculated?
A: It’s based on a 7-day snapshot taken every day at 00:00 HKT. The total USDT-equivalent value of supported assets is summed and divided by seven. Values above 10,000 USDT are capped.
Q: Does holding OKB really give me extra rewards?
A: Yes. In both the Happy Friday program and asset calculations, OKB balances are counted twice their market value—offering a significant edge in reward distribution.
Q: Are sub-accounts included in any rewards?
A: No. Only main accounts are eligible. Sub-account balances and activities are excluded from all calculations.
Q: Will using my rebate card reduce my future Happy Friday payouts?
A: No. OKX uses separate funding pools for rebate cards. Your participation in ongoing incentive programs remains unaffected.
Q: What happens if I didn’t trade but held coins during the pause?
A: You may still qualify for the High-Value Holder Rebate (if over 10,000 USDT) or Friday bonuses via asset weighting—even without active trading.
