When BitcoinVN launched as Vietnam’s first Bitcoin exchange in early 2014, the industry looked very different.

The idea of stablecoins had barely come into existence, Bitcoin dominated the landscape, Litecoin lingered in the background, Dogecoin was only a few months old, and Ethereum existed only as an early idea and a draft whitepaper.

Since then, our model has expanded from a simple Bitcoin on/off-ramp in Vietnam to a broader global bridging service for digital assets.  Over time, our role has shifted from primarily customer-facing (B2C) to increasingly serving as infrastructure middleware – powering other service providers and allowing them to build and launch products quickly on top of our API.

As such, the time has also come to renew our affiliate model offerings.

Under the previous structure, users earned a fixed, volume-based percentage per swap – a simple and static setup that made sense in our early days as a straightforward Bitcoin on/off-ramp.

Today, with more than a hundred different assets and settlement methods supported, that fixed model no longer reflects the reality of how our service operates. The ecosystem has evolved — and so has our role within it.

It is therefore time to shift from a static commission structure to a revenue-share oriented model.

The old model did not account for intra-asset swaps – simply because that wasn’t really a thing “back in the day.”

Today, however, moving stablecoins across chains, unwrapping and rewrapping assets, or shifting Bitcoin between L1 and L2s like Liquid or Lightning has become a very real and increasingly common use case.

These types of swaps are now rewarded as well.

Overall, you should expect roughly 2–4× higher earnings under the new model – depending on the type of user flow you generate and the assets they interact with.

In addition, you now have the option to add your own mark-up when integrating via our API. Any mark-up you set is entirely yours; 100% of that revenue flows directly to you.
