Corrections Log

Disclosure wording rewrite. We replaced phrases like "we may earn a commission" with "we earn an affiliate commission" and removed the user-facing rel="sponsored" technical jargon from inline copy (the HTML attribute is still present, so Google's crawl signal is unaffected). Rationale, in line with industry best practice: "commission" can carry a middleman / kickback connotation in some contexts; "affiliate commission" is the standard industry term and more accurately describes the business relationship without putting readers on the defensive. Compliance posture is unchanged — FTC and Google's disclosure rules require "clear, conspicuous, and understandable" and don't mandate any specific word; OKX's Affiliate ToS also doesn't require the word "commission."

This is a wording-level compliance improvement, not a mechanism change. The rel="sponsored noopener noreferrer" attributes remain in place for Google's algorithmic identification. The disclaimer.html section 8 still notes "also known as referral commission" as a synonym.

Factual error about how OKX rebates settle. Our original copy said the rebate "settles automatically each month", but OKX's Affiliate system actually pays in real time — each hour, OKX aggregates the prior hour's qualifying trades and credits the rebate to the affiliate's "Affiliate Center." It is not a monthly settlement. The error described OKX's real advantage (real-time crediting) as if it were industry-average (monthly), which actually understates OKX. All 9 affected mentions across the site have been corrected.

Thanks to the reader who flagged this. This is exactly why we keep a public Corrections Log — even when the error happens to favor us (OKX's real mechanism is actually better than we described), the error is still an error and gets corrected publicly.

On the referral code page, the "Your potential benefit" cell originally read "varies (depends on current OKX promotions)". A reader noted the wording was vague and asked us to spell out the 20% fee rebate mechanism directly.

The original referral page title "OKX Referral Code 2026 — How to use it + how to enter it + caveats" was easy to misread as "referral code = 2026." We rewrote the title to put the year and the actual referral string up front.

The OKX referral-link click-time injection script originally appended ?invitecode= to every OKX URL, but several OKX tool / product pages (/recurring-buy, /trading-bot/grid, /proof-of-reserves) return 404 with that parameter attached. We restricted the injection to signup entry paths (/join, /account/register).
