How Bybit's two-sided invite system works
Most people think of an invite code as a one-sided transaction: the new user gets a benefit, the end. Bybit's system is fundamentally different — it is designed so that both the person using the invite code and the person who shared it earn real, ongoing value. Understanding both sides of the system helps you make the most of your Bybit account from day one.
- Fee discount on all spot and derivatives trades
- Access to welcome bonus program (up to $30,000)
- Tiered deposit bonuses via Rewards Hub
- First-loss protection through bonus wallet
- Eligibility for seasonal promotional campaigns
- Earn % of every referred user's trading fees
- Commission paid in real time, no lock-up
- Scales with number of active referees
- No cap on referees or total commission earned
- Access to Bybit Affiliate Program for higher rates
The key insight is that the commission the invite code owner earns does not come from the new user's pocket. Bybit pays it out of its own fee revenue — the invitee pays standard discounted fees (or less), and Bybit shares a portion of what it collects with the person who brought that user to the platform. Both sides win with no zero-sum trade-off.
Using invite code web3: step-by-step
-
Open the invite link Go to partner.bybit.com/b/web3. This link takes you directly to Bybit's registration page with the invite code web3 pre-filled. Verify the code appears in the invite/referral code field before submitting. If it is missing, type web3 manually. The invite code can only be applied at account creation — it cannot be added later.
-
Register and verify your account Enter your email or phone number, set a password, and complete OTP verification. After account creation, go to Account & Security to complete KYC Level 1 — a government-issued ID and facial scan are required. KYC unlocks the full welcome bonus program and removes withdrawal restrictions. Most users are approved within minutes.
-
Deposit and claim your welcome bonus Fund your account to reach your target bonus tier. Then open the Rewards Hub from the main navigation. Review your eligible bonus tasks — each task shows a deposit amount and trading volume requirement. Place qualifying trades to complete the volume requirement, then click "Claim" on each completed task. Fee discounts from invite code web3 are already active and apply to these trades automatically.
-
Generate your own invite code After your account is set up, navigate to the Referral Program section in your Bybit dashboard. Bybit automatically creates a unique invite code and shareable link for your account. You can customize your code string (subject to availability). Share your link with friends, on social media, or through any channel you use — every person who registers and trades using your invite code generates commission income for you.

Once you are a registered Bybit user, you have access to one of the most straightforward passive income mechanisms in the crypto space: inviting others to trade on Bybit and earning a percentage of their fees indefinitely. Here is how the economics of the invite program work in practice.
Commission rate and structure
The base commission rate for Bybit's standard referral program is typically 20–30% of referred users' trading fees. This means if someone you invited pays $100 in trading fees in a month, you receive $20–$30 in commission. The commission is calculated on total fees paid — maker fees, taker fees, spot, and derivatives all count. There is no minimum activity threshold for commission to be paid.
Commission rates can be higher through Bybit's Affiliate Program, which is designed for content creators, traders with large social followings, and businesses who can deliver consistent referral volume. Affiliate Program participants get dedicated account managers, higher commission rates, co-marketing opportunities, and access to Bybit's creative assets. You can apply for the affiliate program through Bybit's website after creating your account with invite code web3.
Commission payout mechanics
Bybit commission is credited in real time — as your referees trade, the commission updates in your Referral Program dashboard live. There is no monthly settlement or lock-up period. You can transfer your commission balance to your spot wallet at any time and withdraw it normally, with no restrictions specific to commission funds. The commission is paid in the settlement currency of the fees paid by your referees (typically USDT for USDT-margined derivatives).
How long commissions last
There is no expiry on commission relationships. Someone you invited two years ago generates commission for you every time they make a trade on Bybit today. The earning relationship is permanent from the moment they register with your invite code. This long-tail structure means that building a small group of consistently active traders through your invite code can generate meaningful, recurring income over time — even if you stop actively sharing your code.
Maximizing your invite program earnings
Commission scales with referee trading volume, not just referee count. Inviting ten casual traders who deposit $100 each and trade rarely generates far less commission than inviting one active derivatives trader who moves $100,000 per month in notional volume. The best referrers are those who target active traders in their network — traders who already understand crypto derivatives, use leverage, and trade frequently. For each such user, the lifetime commission can easily exceed the bonus any new user receives at registration.
Bybit invite vs. passive yield products
Compared to Bybit Earn (flexible savings APR, fixed-term deposits), the invite commission program is potentially higher-yield with zero capital lock-up. There is no capital risk — you do not need to deposit anything to participate in the referral program. Commission income is derived entirely from other users' trading activity. As a passive income stream within the Bybit ecosystem, the invite program competes favorably with savings products for users who have an active social network in the crypto space.
Bybit invite code: fee benefits breakdown
Beyond the two-sided earnings mechanic, invite code web3 gives the new user concrete fee reductions that matter for active trading. Here is the full fee schedule showing where the discount applies.
| Market | Maker fee | Taker fee | Invite discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot (base tier) | 0.100% | 0.100% | Applied |
| USDT Perpetuals | 0.020% | 0.055% | Applied |
| Inverse Perpetuals | 0.020% | 0.060% | Applied |
| Options | 0.020% | 0.030% | Standard |
The fee discount activates at registration with no deposit or trade required. It stacks on top of VIP tier discounts that reduce fees further as your 30-day trading volume grows. For derivatives traders who use the platform consistently, the combination of the invite discount and eventual VIP tier advancement results in substantially lower fees than the published standard rates.
Fee discount value in dollar terms
At the base perpetuals taker rate of 0.055%, a trader placing $500,000 in monthly notional volume pays $275 in taker fees. A meaningful invite discount on this rate saves real dollars every month. Over twelve months of active trading, the cumulative fee savings from invite code web3 can comfortably exceed the initial deposit bonus value — making the fee discount the more valuable long-term component of the invite code benefit for high-volume traders.
Bybit vs. competitors: invite program comparison
The quality of a crypto exchange's invite program matters as much as the fee structure if you plan to share your code with others. Here is how Bybit's invite program compares to the major alternatives.
| Exchange | Invitee bonus | Inviter commission | Commission duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bybit (code web3) | Up to $30,000 | Up to 30%+ of fees | Permanent |
| OKX | Up to $10,000 | Up to 20% of fees | Permanent |
| Binance | Up to ~$100–$600 | Up to 40% (BNB holders) | Permanent |
| Bitget | Up to $5,000 | Up to 30% of fees | Permanent |
| HTX | Up to $8,000 | Up to 30% of fees | Permanent |
Bybit stands out for its combination of the largest invitee bonus ($30,000 headline vs. OKX's $10,000 or Binance's much smaller standard offer) and a competitive base commission rate. Binance's maximum commission rate of 40% for BNB holders is higher, but Binance's invitee bonus is considerably smaller — making Bybit's program more balanced across both sides of the invite relationship.
