Reference: Binance Academy (original link: https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/write-to-earn-on-binance-square-all-you-need-to-know)

Post a post on Binance Square, readers will trade after reading it, and you will get a share of the fees they pay - this is the basic logic of Write to Earn. It is different from passive income such as staking and financial management. The money is not generated from the assets you hold, but from the transaction behavior brought about by the content you write.

Let’s talk about the conditions for participation, how to calculate commissions, how to distribute money, and which pitfalls to avoid, in the order of actual operations.

Who can participate and how to register?

As long as your region is supported and you have completed identity verification (KYC), you are already eligible. There is no need to fill out a separate application form or click the "Join" button. When you publish your first eligible piece of content on Binance Square, you will automatically be included in the program.

The low threshold is what makes it attractive. Everyone can participate, from ordinary users who post casually to those who write in-depth analysis. However, a low threshold does not mean automatic income. The key is whether the content can make people make transactions.

How commission is generated

The entire link can be broken down into four steps:

1. You post content—short posts, long articles, videos, or polls.
2. Include cashtag in the content - that is, add a dollar sign before the currency symbol, such as $BTC, $BNB.
3. The reader clicks on the cashtag, or on your embedded price chart component.
4. If the reader completes a transaction shortly after clicking, you will get a commission from the transaction fee.

Note that the money is not extra money deducted from readers’ pockets, but a part of the handling fee already collected by Binance, which is equivalent to the remuneration paid by the platform for your attracting behavior.

If there is no cashtag and no chart component, the system cannot associate the transaction with your post, and naturally there will be no commission. This step is the most easily overlooked, but the most indispensable action in the entire mechanism.

Commission ratio: Basic 20%, plus bonus for the top 100 on the weekly list

Every creator starts with a base commission of 20%. For example, if a reader clicks on the cashtag in your post and completes a transaction, paying a $1 processing fee, you can get $0.20.

The platform will rank creators every week, and those who enter the top 100 can get an additional commission on top of the basic ratio:

Weekly Ranking	Basic Commission	Bonus Commission	Total Commission
Top 1–30	20%	+30%	50%
Top 31–100	20%	+10%	30%
Other creators	20%	None	20%

Income depends on how many readers actually trade after reading your content, so it’s normal to fluctuate from week to week. There is no fixed amount and no guarantee.

Settlement and arrival

Rewards are calculated on a weekly basis from Monday to Sunday and are usually distributed before the following Thursday. The payment currency is USDC, which is directly deposited into your Binance fund account.

There is a minimum threshold: earning at least 0.1 USDC in a certain week will trigger the withdrawal. If it is not reached, the balance for this week will be reset to zero and will not be carried forward to the next week. So don’t save your sporadic income and wait. If you don’t save the threshold, it will be gone.

Several habits to improve hit rate

Since you can only make money if readers click and trade, then all actions should be done around “getting people to click and believe”:

• When writing the currency, bring cashtag. Don’t just write the Chinese name or English name. The system recognizes the symbol.
• Place the price chart component wherever possible. It will be easier for readers to see and the tracking link will be more complete.
• The content must have real content - opinions, strategies, information summary, etc. Readers will be more likely to follow you if they trust you.
• Pay attention to the current popular currencies, and the system itself will also give more exposure to trending assets.

No commission can be obtained in these cases

There are several types of scenarios that will not be blamed on you even if there is a transaction. Knowing this in advance can save you a lot of confusion:

• The post is too old: only transactions within seven days after the content is published can be tracked and commissioned.
• Using an invitation link: If a reader registers for Binance through your invitation link, you will usually get the regular invitation rebate, not the Write to Earn commission.
• Zero-fee trading: There are no handling fees for certain active trading pairs or stablecoin trading pairs. There is no handling fee to be divided, and naturally there is no commission.
• Trade by yourself: You cannot earn commissions from your own trades.

In addition, the system cannot track posts without cashtag or chart components.

From the perspective of handling fees, what should readers check?

If you are a reader and go to trade after seeing a post with a cashtag, it is worth confirming a few things first: which handling rate is applicable to this transaction, whether your account enjoys BNB deduction or VIP rate, and whether this transaction falls within the scope of zero-fee activities. These factors will directly affect the actual cost and the commission base that the creator can receive. The specific rates are subject to Binance’s official rate page, and specific figures are not listed in this article.

FAQ

**Is separate registration required? ** unnecessary. Complete KYC and automatically join after publishing your first eligible content in supported regions.

**When will the money be distributed? ** Settlement is done on a weekly basis, from Monday to Sunday, and USDC will be distributed to the capital account before the next Thursday. Payment will be made only if at least 0.1 USDC is required per week, otherwise the balance will be reset to zero.

What is **cashtag? ** Just add the dollar sign before the currency symbol, such as $BTC, $BNB. With cashtag or chart components in your posts, the system can associate readers’ transactions with your content.

**What is the maximum commission? ** Starting at 20%, the top 31–100 on the weekly list total 30%, and the top 30 earn up to 50%. How much you actually get depends on how many transactions your content brings.

**Why didn’t this post bring me any income? ** Common reasons: the post is more than seven days old, the transaction itself has zero handling fee, the reader comes through your invitation link, the transaction is an order placed by yourself, or there is no cashtag and chart components in the post, making it impossible to track.

Final reminder

The essence of Write to Earn is to convert content influence into fee sharing. The income depends entirely on reader behavior and there is no guaranteed amount. It is more realistic to regard it as a long-term and continuous output habit. It is unreliable to expect that a certain hit article will bring stable income. Before participating, it is recommended to read the official rules page of Binance Square to confirm whether it is supported in your region and whether there are any changes to the latest terms.
