About KuCoin

What Is KuCoin?

KuCoin (KCS) is the native utility token of the KuCoin exchange, launched in 2017 to share trading fee revenue with token holders and incentivize community growth. Holding KCS grants discounts on trading fees, access to token sales, and a portion of the platform’s daily profits.

Who Are the Founders of KuCoin?

Issued by the KuCoin exchange team co-founded by Michael Gan and Eric Don, who built KuCoin to be a user-focused, global trading platform.

What Makes KuCoin Unique?

Its “dividend” mechanism automatically distributes 50% of KuCoin’s daily trading fees to KCS holders, creating a direct revenue share and strong incentive to hold rather than trade.

How Is the KuCoin Network Secured?

Relies on KuCoin’s internal ledger for fee-sharing and on standard ERC-20 security when transferred on Ethereum or BEP-2 on Binance Chain.

What Is KuCoin’s Role in the Crypto Ecosystem?

Serves as both a loyalty token (fee discounts, VIP levels) and a profit-sharing instrument, aligning user interests with the exchange’s success and driving platform adoption.

How Is KuCoin’s Technology Upgraded?

Tokenomics and fee-sharing parameters are adjusted via community proposals and implemented by KuCoin’s core development team, with major changes deployed only after user governance polls.

Who Are the Largest Corporate Holders of KuCoin?

Major corporate holders include the KuCoin Treasury, institutional market-makers, and whales using KuCoin Token to optimize trading costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is KuCoin Legal?

Yes. KuCoin is recognized as a utility token under standard crypto token frameworks, though revenue-share models can raise regional regulatory questions.

Can KuCoin Be Hacked?

Security depends on KuCoin’s exchange infrastructure; while the ERC-20 contract is standard, exchange hacks have risked KCS in the past (e.g., 2020 breach).
