Frequently asked questions
What is crypto-ref?
We collect sign-up bonuses and fee discounts from crypto exchanges. You sign up through our referral link and receive the benefit the exchange offers new users.
What is the difference between CEX and DEX?
A CEX (centralized exchange, e.g. Bybit or Bitget) holds your funds and usually requires identity verification (KYC). On a DEX (decentralized exchange) you trade directly from your own wallet – without an account at a company.
Why should I sign with my wallet?
So we can match your participation reliably. The signature only proves that the address belongs to you. It is free, triggers no transaction and gives us no access to your funds.
Do I need an account?
No. When you first participate we automatically create an account tied to your wallet. Later you can log in with any linked wallet or by email.
I use several wallets – how do I keep track?
Log in and link more wallets under “My account”. Or add an email: if you confirm the same email from different wallets, the accounts are merged automatically.
When will my participation be approved?
We review every participation manually using the exchange's data. Depending on the exchange this takes a few days. You can see the status in your account at any time.
What does it cost?
Nothing. We receive a commission from the exchange for the referral – at no extra cost to you.
