Commission Wallet

The Commission Wallet is a special internal wallet in your NAFH account that handles performance fees on profitable trades and helps distribute trading-related bonuses back to the community. It keeps your trading capital separate from the fees and rewards that power the ecosystem.

1. What Is the Commission Wallet?

The Commission Wallet is an internal wallet inside your NAFH account. It is used to:

  • Collect the 20% performance fee on your profitable trades.
  • Support the distribution of Trading Bonuses and affiliate rewards back to the community.

It is completely separate from your trading capital and other earnings:

  • Not your exchange balance: e.g. your Spot wallet.
  • Not your bonus/earnings wallet: where your affiliate or other platform bonuses are stored.

Think of it as your "fuel tank" for trading commissions: as your trades make profits, a small portion of those profits is paid as a performance fee from this wallet to keep the trading engine and reward system running.

2. Why Do We Need a Commission Wallet?

By design, NAFH never takes custody of your trading capital. Your funds stay on your own exchange account, and NAFH connects via API with trading-only permissions.

This is great for safety and transparency-but it also means:

  • NAFH cannot simply "auto-deduct" its performance fee directly from your exchange balance.
  • We need a separate, internal place to settle and track performance fees fairly.

The Commission Wallet solves this by giving us a dedicated "bucket" for:

  • Charging the 20% performance fee on your realized profits.
  • Sharing a portion of those fees back to the community as Trading Bonuses and other affiliate rewards.
  • Keeping a clear separation between your trading capital on the exchange and fees/bonuses handled inside NAFH.

3. How Does the Performance Fee Work?

NAFH charges a 20% performance fee on your trading profits. This fee is deducted from your Commission Wallet, not from your exchange balance.

3.1 Simple Example

Imagine the following:

  • Your account makes a profit of $100 on a trade.
  • The performance fee is 20%.

This is what happens:

  1. On your exchange:
    • Your exchange balance increases by $100 profit.
    • NAFH does not touch this balance. The full $100 remains on your exchange.
  2. On your Commission Wallet (inside NAFH):
    • The system calculates 20% of $100 = $20 performance fee.
    • $20 is deducted from your Commission Wallet balance.
    • From this $20:
      • A portion goes to NAFH (for trading services, infrastructure, and operations).
      • A portion is distributed back to members in the form of Trading Bonuses and affiliate rewards.

In summary: profits stay on your exchange; fees are paid from your Commission Wallet. That's why keeping some balance in this wallet is important for uninterrupted trading.

4. What If My Commission Wallet Is Low, Empty, or Negative?

Your Commission Wallet must have enough balance to cover performance fees on profitable trades. The system monitors this and responds in three main ways:

4.1 Healthy Balance

  • Your Commission Wallet has enough funds to cover current and upcoming performance fees.
  • Trading continues normally.
  • Fees are deducted from your Commission Wallet whenever you realize profits.

4.2 Low but Still Positive (Under ~$20)

  • Trading can still continue for now.
  • Once your balance falls below a certain threshold (for example $20), you will see a warning popup in your dashboard reminding you to top up soon.
  • If you ignore this and keep trading profitably, the next profitable trades may push your wallet toward zero or negative.

4.3 Zero or Negative Balance

If your Commission Wallet balance is not enough to cover the performance fee, it can become negative. When this happens:

  • Your Commission Wallet will show a negative balance (for example, -$20).
  • New trades will be put on hold.
  • Trading on your account will only resume once you bring the balance back to zero or above by topping up your Commission Wallet.

This ensures that performance fees are always paid fairly, while also protecting the system and bonus structure from unpaid fees.

5. Negative Balance - Example Scenario

Let's look at a simple negative balance example:

  • You make $200 profit on a trade.
  • The performance fee is 20%, so the fee is $40.
  • Your Commission Wallet currently has only $20.

Here's what happens:

  1. The system calculates the $40 performance fee (20% of $200).
  2. It deducts the $20 you do have, taking your wallet from $20 to -$20.
  3. Your Commission Wallet now shows - $20 (negative), which represents the outstanding performance fee you still owe.
  4. Because your balance is now negative, new trades are put on hold.
  5. Trading will only resume after you top up at least $20 to bring the balance back to zero (and ideally add more to cover future fees).

Once your Commission Wallet is positive again, trading can continue as normal.

6. How Do I Fund My Commission Wallet?

You can fund your Commission Wallet in two main ways:

6.1 Direct Crypto Deposits

  1. Log in to your NAFH account.
  2. Go to the Wallet or Commission Wallet section.
  3. Click on "Deposit" for the Commission Wallet.
  4. You'll see the supported currency (for example, USDT on a specific network) and a deposit address or QR code.
  5. Send the desired amount from your personal wallet or exchange to this address.
  6. Wait for the required network confirmations. Once confirmed, the balance will appear in your Commission Wallet inside NAFH.

6.2 Using Bonuses & Internal Transfers (If Enabled)

In some cases, you may be able to move funds from your bonus/earnings wallet into your Commission Wallet (subject to current platform rules).

  1. Go to your Wallets section inside NAFH.
  2. Choose an internal "Transfer" option if available.
  3. Select the source wallet (for example, a bonus/earnings wallet) and the destination wallet (Commission Wallet).
  4. Enter the amount and confirm the transfer.

Always check the latest rules and limits in your dashboard or help center to see which internal transfers are currently supported.

7. Recommended Balance & Best Practices

To enjoy smooth, uninterrupted trading, it's a good idea to keep your Commission Wallet funded in line with your expected trading activity.

  • As a guideline, aim to keep at least $20-$50 or more in your Commission Wallet, depending on your trading size.
  • If you trade with larger capital and higher profit potential, consider keeping a higher buffer to avoid frequent top-ups.
  • Pay attention to warnings in your dashboard when your balance falls below the recommended threshold.
  • Top up your Commission Wallet before it goes negative, so trading is never paused due to unpaid fees.

Remember: a healthy Commission Wallet balance keeps your trading running and ensures the performance fee system and community bonuses work smoothly.

8. Frequently Asked Questions - Commission Wallet

Q1. Am I paying twice-on my exchange and in the Commission Wallet?

No.

Your profit stays on your exchange. The 20% performance fee for that profit is paid only once-from your Commission Wallet inside NAFH. You are not charged twice for the same profit; it's simply separated for clarity and for bonus distribution.

Q2. When are performance fees charged?

Performance fees are charged when profits are realized, for example when positions are closed or when the system calculates realized PnL according to its rules. If there is no realized profit, there is no performance fee for that period or trade.

Q3. What happens if my Commission Wallet goes negative?

If your Commission Wallet goes negative, it means you have unpaid performance fees. In this case:

  • Your Commission Wallet shows a negative balance (for example -$20).
  • New trades are paused until you clear the negative balance.
  • Once you top up enough to bring the balance back to zero (or above), trading can resume as normal.

Q4. Can I withdraw money from my Commission Wallet?

In most cases, your Commission Wallet is intended specifically for paying performance fees and related charges. If withdrawals from this wallet are allowed, you should always ensure you keep enough balance to cover upcoming fees, or trading may pause due to insufficient funds.

Q5. Is there a fixed minimum I must keep in the Commission Wallet?

There may not be a strict system-wide minimum, but for smooth operation we strongly recommend keeping at least a small buffer (for example $20 or more). When your balance falls below the recommended threshold, you will see warnings in your dashboard so you can top up before trading is interrupted.

Q6. What if I stop trading or disconnect my API?

If you stop trading or disconnect your API:

  • No new trades will be placed, so no new performance fees will be generated.
  • Any remaining balance in your Commission Wallet will just stay there until you use it (for example, if you reconnect and resume trading later, or if withdrawals/transfers are available under current rules).

Q7. Does NAFH ever touch my exchange balance?

No. NAFH only places and manages trades via API on your exchange. The platform does not withdraw your trading capital or profits from your exchange account. Performance fees are handled separately through your Commission Wallet inside NAFH.
