Credits – community use and support
CoinRobot.AI is free to use up to a reasonable level. More active use consumes credits in proportion to platform and execution load, while useful community contribution can earn credits. Your balance and complete ledger are available under Account.
1. Starting credits and coupons
Every registered user receives 1000 free starting credits with their first registration. The credits are added when the first real Connector is created, provided it can be successfully verified and is genuinely linked to an external trading account that has not previously been registered. Free credit can also be granted in coupon form: coupons may be used for campaigns, promotions, community activities or to recognize outstanding contribution to the project. Published coupons can be followed through our community channels and activated on Account.
2. Earn credits through the community
- A referral registration can reward levels one to three with 100, 50, and 25 credits. These are separate rewards and are not deducted from the new user's 1000 starting credits.
- When a referred user trades, 20%, 10%, and 5% of the credits actually consumed may be shared across the three referral levels.
- When another user makes a chargeable trade with your public strategy, you may receive an additional 40% of the consumed credit. No strategy-owner reward is generated when you use your own strategy.
Referral and strategy-owner rewards can be combined. See Affiliate for the community reward model and affiliate-income examples.
3. Concrete credit example
Assume that a new user's direct referrer also owns the public strategy used by the new user, and that all three referral levels exist.
| Beneficiary | At registration | When 1000 credits are consumed | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| New user | 1000 starting credits | −1000 | 0 |
| Direct referrer and strategy owner | 100 | 200 referral + 400 strategy | 700 credits |
| Level-2 referrer | 50 | 100 | 150 credits |
| Level-3 referrer | 25 | 50 | 75 credits |
If the new user uses their own strategy, the 40% strategy reward is not generated: the direct referrer receives 300 credits in total in this example. All rewards originating from starting credits remain free credits: they can be used inside CoinRobot but cannot be returned as USDC.
4. Credits for support
You can obtain credits by supporting the project with USDC on Account. The current rate is 1 USDC = 20 credits, with a minimum recognized transfer of 1 USDC. Account always shows the current rate.
5. Paid-credit use case
1000 credits currently correspond to 50 USDC. If a user consumes that many USDC-backed credits while a complete three-level referral chain and a public strategy owned by someone else apply, rewards are distributed as follows:
| Reward | Credits | USDC value |
|---|---|---|
| Level-1 referrer | 200 | 10 USDC |
| Level-2 referrer | 100 | 5 USDC |
| Level-3 referrer | 50 | 2.5 USDC |
| Public-strategy owner | 400 | 20 USDC |
| Total community reward | 750 | 37.5 USDC |
With the current settings, the three referral levels and public-strategy reward together redistribute at most 75% of consumed credits to the community; 25% remains to fund platform operations before server, API, support and transaction costs.
Rewards preserve the origin of the consumed credits. The unused portion of a USDC-backed reward may therefore be returnable under the current minimum-balance, minimum-withdrawal and approval rules shown on Account.
6. Why credits are deducted
Deductions reflect trading execution and backtest computing load. The base cost is 1 credit per successful live trade and 0.1 per backtest trade. Interface, Plan-size, user or AI-related multipliers may change the base; the actual deduction is recorded in the credit ledger.
7. Owner-requested AI strategy review
A strategy owner may request a dedicated AI review from the Strategies page for 100 credits. Queueing the request does not deduct credits. The worker checks the balance again and records the consumption only after the AI has successfully completed the analysis. The charge therefore applies even when the evidence supports no formula change; a transport failure or unavailable AI response is not charged. A strategy family can be submitted at most once per UTC day and must have Plan evidence available.
8. Typical monthly cost
A typical active user making about 30–40 successful live trades per day uses roughly 900–1,200 credits in a 30-day month at the standard rate of 1 credit per successful trade. The 1000 free credits granted after the first eligible Connector is verified therefore cover about one month of this usage. After they are used, credits may be earned through community activity. If no community credits are earned, a similar level of activity is typically around 50 USDC per month. This is an illustrative usage estimate, not a fixed subscription fee: actual credit consumption depends on the number of trades, backtests, requested AI reviews and any applicable multipliers.
9. Free and USDC-backed credits
Initial, coupon and promotional credits are free: they can be used inside CoinRobot but are not returnable. Credits obtained through USDC support are non-free. Referral and strategy-owner rewards preserve the origin of the credit that funded them; unused USDC-backed credit may therefore be returnable under the applicable Account rules. When credits are consumed, the system uses free credits first and USDC-backed credits only after the free balance has been exhausted.
