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 fee rebate of up to 20% mechanism directly.
Your potential benefit: varies (depends on current OKX promotions)
What you get: fee rebate of up to 20%* (worked example: $500 in monthly trading fees → OKX credits roughly $100 back to you, settled in real time each hour in the "Affiliate Center")

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.
