Navigating a new crypto exchange can be exciting, and KuCoin’s Rewards Hub offers a structured path for newcomers to earn bonuses while learning the platform. This guide breaks down how you can participate and benefit from its various programs.
What is the KuCoin Rewards Hub?
The Rewards Hub is a dedicated section designed specifically for new users. It presents a series of achievable tasks that, upon completion, reward you with cryptocurrencies and coupons. The goal is to help you get familiar with core platform features—like signing up, verifying your identity, depositing funds, and trading—while earning rewards for your activity.
Breaking Down the Welcome Bonus Tasks
The limited-time newcomer bonus can total up to 11,000 USDT in value, distributed across several types of rewards. Here’s a closer look at the tasks involved.
Sign-Up Bonus
The journey begins the moment you create an account. New users instantly receive:
- 100 USDT tokens: A direct crypto reward.
- 400 USDT in coupons: Vouchers that can be used for trading fee discounts.
- 10,500 USDT in Futures trial funds: Virtual funds to practice futures trading without risking your own capital.
Task Completion and Withdrawal
The rewards are structured around five main tasks. Your total earned USDT from these tasks becomes available for withdrawal once the cumulative amount reaches at least 10 USDT. The process involves:
- Completing all required tasks.
- Waiting for platform approval (processing can take up to 15 business days).
- Withdrawing your rewards once the threshold is met.
Types of Rewards and How to Earn Them
Cryptocurrency Rewards
These are actual USDT tokens credited to your account. Reward amounts for specific tasks are randomly determined within a pre-set range (e.g., 0.01–20 USDT). You earn them by:
- Completing your first deposit using qualified methods (P2P, third-party purchase, Fast Trade, fiat, or on-chain deposits).
- Executing your first trade (spot, futures, margin, or trading bot). Note that trades with zero fees are not eligible.
Coupon Rewards
Coupons provide discounts on trading fees, effectively reducing your transaction costs. They are often bundled with sign-up bonuses and other task completions.
Futures Trial Funds
This is a form of virtual credit that allows you to experiment with futures trading. The leverage and withdrawal rules for these trial funds are set at the time of distribution and may differ from using real assets.
Participating in Time-Limited Tasks
Beyond the initial sign-up, the Rewards Hub often features advanced, time-sensitive events.
Deposit and Trade Tasks
To qualify for these bonus futures trial funds, you must:
- Participate within the event's validity period.
Meet minimum net deposit and trading volume requirements.
- Net Deposit is calculated as (Qualified Deposits + Crypto Purchases) minus any withdrawals made during the event period.
- Trading Volume is accrued from all activities like spot and futures trading.

High-Yield Tasks
These tasks are linked to KuCoin's Earn products. To earn additional futures trial funds:
- Purchase a KuCoin Earn product directly through the Rewards Hub.
- The amount of trial fund rewarded is typically proportional to the amount of your first Earn product purchase.
Important Note: For all time-limited tasks, rewards often must be manually claimed within your account before they expire, usually within 15 days of signing up.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start earning rewards from the Getting Started tasks?
Simply complete the listed tasks in the Rewards Hub. You can claim coupons immediately upon signing up. Your cryptocurrency rewards will be credited after all tasks are finished, approved by the platform, and will be available for withdrawal once they meet the minimum threshold.
What counts toward my First Deposit for a reward?
Eligible methods include depositing via P2P transactions, buying crypto from a third-party service, using Fast Trade, making a fiat deposit, or an on-chain transfer. Deposits from Red Packets or Trial Funds do not qualify for this particular reward.
Why didn’t my trade qualify for the First Trade Reward?
The most common reason is that the trade had zero fees. To be eligible, your first trade must be a fee-generating transaction, which includes most spot, futures, margin, and bot trades on the platform.
How are the rewards for each task determined?
The exact USDT amount you receive for completing tasks like the first deposit or first trade is randomly assigned within a specified range (e.g., 0.01 to 20 USDT). This means every user's reward may vary slightly.
What are Futures Trial Funds and what can I do with them?
These are simulated funds used to practice futures trading. They allow you to experience leveraged trading and understand market movements without financial risk. However, their specific leverage multipliers and withdrawal terms are defined by KuCoin when they are distributed.
Do my rewards expire?
Yes, particularly rewards from time-limited tasks and coupons often have an expiration date. Always check the specific terms and conditions for each reward in the 'My Coupons' or 'Task History' section to ensure you use or claim them in time.
